"United States" (Walker); Carbondale, 111. (Grote); Cham- 

 paign, 111., June 21 (Hart). 



9 specimens, Central Mo., Fla. (coll. Prof. C. H. Fernald); 3, 

 North Carolina (Morrison); Tryon, N. C. (W. F. Fiske); 2, Wash- 

 ington, D. C. (coll. C. V. Riley); 2, D. C, July 1 (A. Busck); 

 Hastings, Fla., June (G. D. Hulst); Fort Drum, Fla. (U. S. Dept. 

 Agr.); Pittsburgh, Pa., July 8, 1905 (H. Engel). 



Ab. a. Smaller and darker, the white marks reduced in size, the outer oblique 

 mark narrow or absent. 



Hastings, Fla. 



The larva is undescribed. 



Elophila slossonalis, new species. 

 Fore wing brown-gray ; a broad straight subbasal band, white or light brown 

 suffused ; an outer fine pale line, oblique from costa ; sharply angled inward, then 

 oblique again to inner margin near tornus ; subterminal band straight, white above, 

 metallic below ; terminal space faintly orange. Hindwing whitish, a dark clouded 

 mesial band containing an orange discal mark ; disk powdered with black scales ; 

 terminal black spots separated by metallic scales, set in a faintly orange terminal 

 area. Expanse, 13 mm. 



This is not improbably E. guenealis Snellen (Paraponyx guenealis 

 Snellen, Tidj. voor Ent., xviii, 260, 1875) described in an article on 

 the Pyralidae of New Grenada, St. Thomas and Jamaica ; but the 

 white band is quite obscured in Snellen's figure and there are a num- 

 ber of differences in detail. I prefer therefore, to hold our form 

 separate, at least until the receipt of specimens from the West Indies. 

 4 specimens, Charlotte Harbor, Florida, March (Mrs. Slosson) ; 

 Glenwood, Fla. (Dr. Barnes), all from Prof. C. H. Fernald's col- 

 lection.
