Sept., 1906.] Kunze : Description of Lepidopterous Lary.e. 131 



Sabulodes costinotata, new species. 



Expanse 35 mm. 



This is a species resembling, in almost everything except color, the 9 °f •$"• 

 • na (= sulphurata Pack. ) . 



Palpi, head and collar dull purplish brown. Thorax, abdomen and upper sur- 

 face of wings pale wood brown, paler than S. furciferata Packard. Markings as in 

 sulphurata except that both outer and inner lines are more evident. The outer line 

 is continued across the hind wings but there is no conspicuous spot at the termination 

 of this line on the inner margin of the wing as there is in sulphurata. Beneath the 

 markings are reproduced as in sulphurata. Uiscal dots distinct above and below. 



The type specimens are three in number and are all females : 

 Durango, Colorado, U. S. Nat. Museum, type no. 9800 ; Phoenix, 

 Arizona (two specimens), in my collection. 



Sicya snoviaria Hulst. 



In the same collection (U. S. Nat. Mus.) there is another speci- 

 men on which I may comment here. 



It is labelled " Santa Catalina Mts., Pinal Co., Arizona, April 8- 

 15 " and is a 9 apparently conspecific with a c? in my own collec- 

 tion which I suppose to be the Heteroloclia snoviaria Hulst, described 

 from New Mexico. Hulst' s type was a single d' and my specimen 

 agrees well with the description except that it has a conspicuous basal 

 line on the fore wing which is not mentioned by Hulst. 



The $ specimen, however, has simple antennae and very short 

 palpi and therefore belongs to the genus Sicya and not to Heterolocha 

 or Neoterpes. If my determination of snoviaria is correct, that species 

 must be removed to Sicya ; if otherwise then the specimens noted above 

 will represent a new species in that genus. 



DESCRIPTIONS OF TWO LEPIDOPTEROUS LARVAE.

Larva of Sphingicampa heiligbrodtii Harvey. 

 Every autumn I collect on the desert close to the Salt River, near 

 Phcenix, a few of Gyascutus obliteralus, a good Buprestid found on 

 Palo Verde {Parkinsonia microphylla) and while thus engaged found 

 for the first time in nine years the larva of heiligbrodtii. This bril- 

 liant larva is readily detected, its silvered ornamentation reflected by
