pins or brads thrust into the sides of the case, and if equal in width to 

 the depth of the case are held down by the cover, or they may be nar- 

 rower and then held securely in place by a pin above each end. 



For examination the case may be placed upon a table covered with 

 white or dark cloth or paper according to the background desired, and 

 may be instantly turned upside down, allowing both sides of the entire 

 series of specimens to be examined when desired without a moment's 



delay.

A NEW GLOVERIA. 



By Harrison G. Dyar. 



Mr. L.. O. Howard has sent me several examples of a Lasiocampid 

 collected in Arizona for the Department of Agriculture, which seems to 

 represent an undescribed species. I take pleasure in dedicating it to 

 this well known entomologist. 

 Dendrolimus howardi, sp. nov. 



Female. Like Qtiadrina dtazoma. Cla-j color (Ridgway, pi. V, fig. 8) irro- 

 rate with pale chocolate brown scales. Two faint, brown, nearly straight lines, one 

 across the cell, the other at the outer third of the wing, the most distinct mark. A 

 very faint white discal dot. Subterminal line irregular, broken, faint, twice out- 

 wardly curved, at veins 3 and 4 and 6 to 8. Secondaries and thorax pale brown, 

 about the tint of the transverse lines of the primaries ; abdomen a little paler. Ex- 

 panse 49 to 66 mm. 



Alale. Considerably like the male of D. gargamelle Strecker (The male of 

 Q. diazoma being unknown). Sepia (Ridgway, pi. Ill, fig. 3), along the outer 

 margin of primaries succeeded by a semi-transparent zone, which shades into raw 

 umber (R. Ill, 14) over the basal half of the wing, composed of brown and yellow- 

 ish hairs. Discal dot round, distinct, white. Lines as in the female, faint, darker 

 than the wing, the subterminal especially obscure, broken into a series of brown 

 intervenular dots, the one at the anal angle the most distinct. Secondaries sepia, a 

 semitransparent space covering the outer third except for a narrow outer margin. 

 Body dark, mixed with yellowish hairs. On the primaries the subterminal line is 

 much fainter than in ga7-ga7nelle; the transverse space encroaches on it whereas in 

 %argaineUe it just reaches the line. Basally in both it reaches to the discal do^. 

 The bright yellowish costal shade is not present in gargamelle. The secondaries 

 { dark chocolate, not bright reddish brown; the transparent space reaches out 

 •urther than in its ally, leaving only a narrow band instead of an outer third. 

 Expanse 38 to 45 mm. 



The types are three pairs in the National Museum and one pair in 

 my collection. All bred specimens. 



In markings the female is perhaps not different from Quadrina diazoma.
