Callimorpha reversa. oV- Head and piotliovax ochre yellow. Palpi ochie 

 yellow, !)lack at the tips. Patagia white. Thorax white, with a broad central brown 

 stripe. Abdomen white, with traces of a narrow dor.-al stripe. Legs yellowish, coxae 

 (jf anterior pan- with a round black dot; outer edges of anterior and middle pair 

 dusky. Primaries silky white; inner margin, costa, and outer margin rather broadly 

 edged with dark brown, interrupted at the apex. A brown band crosses the wing 

 IVum the anal angle to the costa, about two-fifihs from the base; from the centre of 

 this band, a second brown band runs to the outer margin just below the apex, divid- 

 ing the wing into three piineipal white patches. The basal patch is triangular (some- 

 times divided by a narrow basal brown band). That on the outer margin is more or 

 less ovate, and is frequently divided near the apex by the brown nervules into three 

 sub-equal spots; and the costal patch is more or less clearly divided into three sub - 

 e<iual spots, by an expansion on the discal vein of the brown co.stal margin, and by 

 toothed enlargements of the brown markings, between the discal vein and apex. Sec- 

 ondaries clear white, immaculate. Beneath as above, but the markings are more ob- 

 scure, and the costa of all the wings is tinged with yellow ochre. 



Expanse of wings 1.50 to 1.90 inch! Hab. Canada, Saunders; New 

 ^'ork, Hy. Edwards; Kansas, Prof. Snow. 



This species has long been confounded with Leconlci, Harris and 

 Doubleday discu.ssed the question of their specific identity, and Canadian 

 Entomologists have long contended that two species were included un- 

 der the latter name, but so far as I know without pointing out the most 

 recognizable character, which is to be found in the main transverse band 

 of the primaries. In Lecontei, this starts from the inner margin and goes 

 to the ape.x, while in reversa, it starts from the outer margin and goes to 

 the anal angle, being exactly as in Clymene, Just as is often the case in 

 the latter species, the transverse band is sometimes partly absolete near 

 10 the costa, and this seems to be the chief variation. 



Arctia approximata. Q. Head and palpi black beneath, front and vertex 

 pale. Thorax ereain color; prothorax with two black spots, thorax with three black 

 stripes. Abdomen tyl above, with dorsal series of black spots; tip and underside 

 black. Legs black touched with cream color. Primaries velvety black, with all the 

 margins, the nerves and nervules, terminal W, terminal transverse band on which 

 the W rests, and longitudinal streak, dark cream color. The tenninal band is in- 

 complete, wanting the portion between the subcostal and median veins. A small 

 pale dot above the origin of the first median vein, is all that remains of the median 

 band. No basal or sub-basal bands. Secondaries clear red, yellowish round the 

 i)lack spots, which consist of the discal spot of the median row, all four of the sub- 

 marginal row, and the two apical spots of the marginal .series, which are fused to- 

 gether round the apex. No basals clouds. Beneath as above, but colors more 

 diffused. 



Expanse of wings 1,45 inch., length of body 0.52 inch. Hab. 

 Canada, Hy. Edwards. 



A small species close to SaiDidtrsii, of which it may be only a 

 variety. The pattern of the primaries resembles no other species. The 

 secondaries are like Saun</ersn znd in/ermei//a. Described from i Q,
