fective in the body parts ; but the wings are in good condition. The 

 apices of primaries are pointed and the middle of the outer margin is 

 marked. Vein 5 of the secondaries is as strong as the others and is 

 on a little spur from the junction of 3 and 4. 



Fagitana obliqua, sp. nov. 



Ground color velvety red-brown, the vestifure thick. Head and thorax without 

 markings. Primaries without strong contrasts. Costal region a little paler, outer half 

 of median space distinctly deeper red-brown, the median lines more yellowish. T. a. 

 line outwardly margined with brown ; starts from costa two-fifths from base inwardly 

 oblique to inner margin at basal third. T. p. line margined by brown on both sides, 

 evenly oblique, nearer to apex on costa than to the anal angle on inner margin. S. t. 

 line brown, sinuate, hardly relieved. A series of brown interspaceal lunules just before 

 the margin, which has a darker, followed by a pale line at the base of the concolor- 

 ous fringes. Orbicular nanow, elongate, upright, faintly outlined by somewhat paler 

 scales. Reniform lost in the darkening of the outer half of the median space. 

 Secondaries evenly red-brown. Beneath red-brown, secondaries and terminal space 

 of primaries somewhat paler. 



Expands 27 mm. = 1.08 inches. 



Habitat : Florida (Mrs. Slosson), one female. 



One example only, in fair condition. The secondaries have v. 5 

 as strong as the others, and on a little spur from the median. The 

 species differs at once from littera by the lack of all white markings 

 in the primaries. This resembles very strongly the Diantlixcia tura 

 Druce, Biol. Cent. Am. Heter., p. 291, pi. 27, f. 19 ; but is different, 

 I believe. At all events the new species is not a Diauthixcia and, as 

 it comes from a different faunal region, I will risk describing it. 



Anticarsia ferruginea, sp. nov. 



Ground color a bright, rusty-red brown, the vestiture a little rough. Head and 

 body parts immaculate. Primaries with an upright, linear, white, contrasting reni- 

 form and a broad, richer brown, central median shade, which, continued across the 

 secondaries, forms a more definite brown band. T. a. line purplish, single, broken, 

 with three small, irregular outcurves in the interspaces. T. p. line blackish, linear, 

 even, incurved on the costa, outcurved over the cell, then almost evenly oblique to 

 the inner margin. S. t. line is a series of blackish, diffuse, interspaceal spots, 

 bisinuate in general course. A series of difi^use, blackish, terminal, interspaceal 

 marks. Reniform as de.scribed ; orbicular, punctiform, whitish. Median band 

 broad, diffuse, angulated on the median vein. Secondaries with the t. a. line con- 

 tinued half way across the wing. A moderately broad, well-defined median brown 

 band across the middle, forms the continuation of the t. p. line and the median shade. 

 The series of s. t. spots is continued across the wing. Beneath, more powder}' and 

 rusty, markings of upper surface reproduced in a general way, the ordinary spots of 

 the primaries being blackish instead of white. 



Expands 35 mm. =1.40 inches.
