 (plate 10, fig. 21). — ''Male. Cinereous. AHtcnii.-c serrated, pubescent. Hind 

 tibias incrassated; spurs shod. Wings thickly brown-speckled, slightly pur- 

 plish-tinged, pale luteous on the under side; interior, nii(l(ll(> and exterior 

 lines pale brown, nearly straight and parallel, darker and more distinct on tiie 

 costa of the lore wings, accompanied by a lew black points, which are most 

 distinct on the exterior line; discal point and marginal lunules black. Fore 

 wings acute; exterior border hardly excavated, in front. Hind wings with 

 the exterior border distinctly angular. Length of the body G lines; of the 

 wings 14 lines. East Florida.'' 



This is a good species, and new to nie. I examined the type in the Britisii 

 Museum. Macariu jwslrema Walk., List xxiii, 887, 18<Jl, is a rubbed S. 

 cequiferaria! ! !. 



Macariu transilaria Walk., List Lep. Het. Br. I\Ius., xxiii, 886, 18G1. — 

 "■Male. Brownish-cinereous. Head and fore part of the thorax ochraceous. 

 Antenna; pubeticent, minutely crenulated. Wings minutely black-specked, 

 very slightly purplish-tinged; interior and exterior lines blackish, diffuse, 

 indistinct; a dull ochraceous submarginal l)and; luuler side paler. Fore 

 wings somewhat rounded at the tips; costa straight, with pale points; exte- 

 rior border very slightly excavated in tront; tips pale cinereous. Hind wings 

 with tiie exterior border slightly angular in the middle. Length of the body 

 5J lines; of the wings 14 lines. Neiirly allied to M. llturata. East Florida." 



At the time I visited the British Museum, I regarded this as the type of 

 a species distinct from any of the others. It is ver) near the European 6'. 

 liturutn. 



Macaria ine.Uricata Walk., List Lep. Het. Br. Mus., x.\iii, 88f>, 1861. — 

 ''Female. Pale fawn-colour, luteous beneath. Head and fore border of tin;

 oblique hardly undulating brown line; a brown submarginal spot opposite 

 the middle of this line; discal point dark brown, most apparent on the under 

 side. Fore wings acute; exterior border straight, rather oblique. Hind 

 wings luteous ; exterior border convex. Length of the body 3 lines ; of 

 the wings 10 lines. East Florida " 



This seems to be a good species.
