This species agrees with the short description in Turton's 

 Linn., of the trimaculata Degeer, and I should certainly consider 

 it the same species, if Olivier had not decided the trimaculata 

 to be the same as the hifasciata L. 



[This is L. trimaculata Degeer, pi. 26, fig. 3. — UllLER.]

 and basal line.

L. trimaculata Deg. Ins. Vol. 3, pi. 26, fig. 2. 



2 Destitute of the white wing-spots; abdomen brownish-livid, 

 with a lateral vitta, which is gray, and becomes gradually yellow 

 to the tip; beneath [21] with a yellow lateral vitta, being a 

 continuation of the posterior line of the pleura, and becoming 

 obsolete behind. 



It is on the authority of Olivier, that I quote Degeer's trima- 

 culata for this species, as I do not possess the work of the latter 

 author. 



[This is S. pulchella Drury. — Uhler.] 



7. L. ternaria. — Wings with a fuscous line or spot at base • 

 a spot or band in the middle and another near the tip. 



Inhabits Massachusetts. 



% Head, a black line between the antennas ; eyes above in 

 contact by a curved line ; posterior lateral eanthus of the eyes 

 with two yellow spots ; pleura with two oblique lines ; wings 

 with a pale ferruginous vitta, extending from the base along the 

 anterior submargin to the middle, thence along the margin to the 

 tip, interrupted by the stigma, which is black; on the middle of 

 the costal margin a fuscous spot, and from the stigma a fuscous 

 band, which does not reach the tip ; at base of the posterior 

 wings, behind the vitta, is a rather large and conspicuous, irre- 

 gular, fuscous spot, reticulated with whitish nervures ; anal 

 membrane white ; margined cellules ten or eleven between the 

 middle and stigma; abdomen greenish-yellow at base, and black 

 at tip, with a yellow lateral vitta ; anal processes fusiform, black, 

 subacute; inferior process hardly one-third as long as the others.
