Mesoleuca niveifasciata, sp. nov. 



Of the size and shape of ^1/. vasaliata Guen., and with the lines of that species 

 though these are not definite in view of the much darker ground color of the wings ; 

 across the middle of the wing is a cream white cross band, somewhat irregular on its 

 borders, more so on the outside than inside, but of nearly the same width across the 

 wing ; hind wings as in il/. vasaliata ; beneath even fuscous, a little darker near 

 apex of fore wings, and with a faint extra-discal blackish cross line on hind wings.

 mal ; hind legs, tarsi and tibiae entirely aborted, coxa with a large heavy tuft of hairs, 

 fastened at lower end and loosened above, thus radiating and spreading ; a very prom- 

 inent projection downward on each side of first segment of abdomen, fully as long as

 and in the structtire of the hind legs. The 9 I have not seen.
