at the apex with a black dot below it, and a series of terminal dashes forming a 

 broken line, white. . The ordinary lines darker but inconspicuous. The inner one 

 forming a very obtuse outward angle at the origin of vein 2, and an equally obtuse 

 inward angle on vein i . The outer line is somewhat arcuate but bends inward some- 

 what on vein 2. The discal spot is a nearly straight oblique streak at the end of the 

 cell. Hind wings with a silky luster, light at the base, dark fuscous outwardly. All 

 the wings are lighter beneath than above. Expanse of wings, 21-23 mm. 



Described from one specimen in the National Museum, bred from 

 Drypetis crocea at Palm Beach, Florida, and two in my own collection 

 given me by Dr. Dyar, from the same locality as the first. 



I have named this beautiful species in honor of Dr. H. G. Dyar 

 whose interesting and valuable investigations on Lepidopterous larvae 

 have attracted such general attention. Type no. 5410, U. S. National 

 Museum. 



Pyrausta costimaculalis, sp. nov. 



Head, thorax, fore wings and upper side of abdomen, dark purplish red with a 

 costal spot extending down to the end of the cell and in along the costa to the basal 

 fourth, light orange yellow. Two indistinct dark lines extend nearly parallel, one 

 from the middle of the hind margin, the other from the basal fourth up to the median 

 vein. Hind wings fuscous. All the fringes pale yellow. Under side of the fore 

 wings fuscous, somewhat purplish along the costa and with the costal spot much 

 lighter beneath than above. Legs and underside of the body cream white, the outer 

 end of the fore tibiae dark purplish. Expanse of wings, 12-13 mm. 



Described from one female specimen in the National Museum in 

 Washington and one in my collection, bred from Psychotria undata 

 by Dr. H. G. Dyar. Type no. 5412 U. S. National Museum. 



Eucosma lineana, sp. nov. 



Head and front of thorax dark gray, the remaining part of thorax and the hind 

 part of the fore wings as far as the oblique band, dark fuscous. Fore wings sordid 

 white with numerous dark longitudinal lines ; costa with a series of about ten short, 

 oblique dark brown streaks alternating with much finer ones, an oblique wood brown 

 band marked more or less with dark brown and broken above and below the cell 

 arises from the middle of the costa and extends to the anal angle, the costal part of 

 this band sends out a sharp angle from its lower part, the middle part sends out an 

 extension from below forming a v-shaped mark, the third part forms a semicircle on 

 the upper side ; a wood brown patch on the outer part of the wing with a line ex- 

 tending from it to near the anal angle. Fringes whitish, cut in the middle by dark 

 brown. Hind wings fuscous with paler fringes. Expanse of wings, 16 mm. 



Described from one female specimen in the National Museum, 

 from Palm Beach, Florida, bred on Aiwiia laurifoUa by Dr. H. G. 

 Dyar. Type no. 5414 U. S. National Museum.
