Type. — Cat. No. 10296, U. S. Nat. Mus. 



Nearly allied to R. accUvis Morrison, but much less distinctly- 

 marked, the streaked appearance being absent and the dark shading 

 more uniform and more extended. The North Carolina specimen 

 was submitted to Prof. J. B. Smith, who remarked: '■^ Rhizagro- 

 tis acclivis ! The first authentic specimen I have seen from this region. 

 It indicates that the New York locality which I questioned in my cata- 

 logue may have been correct or it may indicate two very similar spe- 

 cies which I have not had material enough to discriminate." 



Cirrhophanus nigrifer, new species. 



Fore wings pale creamy, bronzy yellow between the lines ; some bronzy yellow 

 at base, especially along median vein ; inner line sharply angled on submedian and 

 discal veins, the lower angle reaching the middle of the wing, the upper the middle 

 of the cell, dark brown, narrow ; veins in the ipedian space irregularly marked in 

 brown ; outer line strongly bent outward opposite "the cell, rather sharply angled 

 above, indented at vein 2 ; a brownish subterminal line, clouded within, irregularly 

 parallel to the outer margin ; fringe concolorous with the wing. Hind wing black, 

 the fringe golden yellow as also small indentations on the veins and a larger one 

 above anal angle. Beneath the disk of fore wings is broadly black, the margins and 

 whole of hind wings golden yellow. Expanse, 30 to 38 mm. 



Three males and two females from the Schaus collection, Guadala- 

 jara, Mexico.

The species has been well figured in the Biologia Centrali-Ameri- 

 cana (Lep. Het., pi. 94, fig. 16) as Cirrhophanus triangiilifer Grote, 

 from which the black hind wings abundantly separate it. 



Cirrhophanus magnifer, new species. 



With the markings of the preceding species ; the wings are longer, the costa 

 straighter ; the pale ground color is less overspread with bronzy ; the lines are slender, 

 scarcely heavier than the linings on the veins ; the outer line is duplicated with 

 another line within it, more remote and distinct than usual, somewhat crenulate on 

 the veins ; the submarginal cloud is obsolete and the line appears pale, slender, well 

 defined although faintly ; the fringe is conspicuously darker than the wing, pale 

 brown, twice interlineate with dark brown. Hind wings of the male blackish on the 

 disk as far as the outer third, the margin pale creamy ; of the female, blackish almost 

 to the margin. Expanse, 45 to 49 mm. 



One male and one female from the Schaus collection, Guadalajara, 

 Mexico. 



Type. — Cat. No. 10332, U. S. Nat. Mus. 



The largest species of the genus ; the body parts also are especially 

 robust. J
