AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 303 



Central Texas. Very different in appearance from any other 

 Sterrhid, and a most beautiful insect. 



C ella var. ellafina u. var. 



I have specimens from San Antonio, Texas, where the brilliant 

 golden yellow is buff with a reddish tinge, with the lines more dis- 

 tinct, and the red below more decided, and to them I give this va- 

 rietal name. They have quite a distinct appearance.
