THE AMERICAN SPECIES OF DYSODIA 45 



taken by Mr. Schaus and identified by him. It is a plain, dark specifss 

 without hyaline discal dots. 



Dysodia ingenicula, new species. 



A large coppery red species, with coarse reticulations enclosing the 

 small ones ; costa and apex of fore wing shaded with a faint dark color, 

 destroying the coppery tint ; lines forming part of the coarse reticulations, 

 the outer broad above and with a projection on each side ; a simileu* band 

 on hind wing ; discal dot single, minute. Expanse, 32 mm. 



Type, No. 15540, U. S. Nat. Mus. ; Aroa, Venezuela (Schaus col- 

 lection). 



Dysodia spissicornis Warren. 



Dysodia spissicornis Warren, Nov. Zool., xv, 334, 1908. 



A specimen from Petropolis, Brazil (Schaus collection) is before me, 

 smaller than Warren's measurement, but agreeing otherwise with his 



description. 



Dysodia callista, new species. 



Body yellowish ocher; collar suffused with purplish red; abdomen 

 with a purple band. Fore wing light ocher, yellow at the tomus ; apex 

 broadly purple, the patch reaching to center of costa and angle of outer 

 margin, containing three pale costal dots ; before it a band from costa to 

 submedian ; below it two oblique darker bands to inner margin. Hind 

 wing with central angle ; base ocher, termen yellow ; mesial band purple, 

 broad, furcate on inner margin ; discal mark large, quadrate, incised, 

 yellow-hyaline. Expanse, 27 mm. 



Type, No. 15541, U. S. Nat. Mus.; Suapure, Venezuela, April, 

 1900(E. A. Klages). 



SPECIES OCCURRING IN THE UNITED STATES 



According to the records we should have five species in the United 

 States. Of these only one, oculatana Clem., is well known ; vitrina 

 Boisd. is an unrecognized description ; granulala Neum. is a local species 

 in the Arizona mountains ; speculifera Sepp and flagrata Walk, are 

 tropical strays into southern Florida. Mexico is undoubtedly the strong- 

 hold of Dysodia, over one-third of the species being recorded from there.
