it approaches nearest to Dahurica, the wings being lather narrow, with 

 the outer margin oblique, and apex acute. If the veins were all pale, 

 it would somewhat resemble the yellow forms o^ achaia in color, but not 

 in shape. 



Euchaetes murina. cfQ" Kyes dark brown. Head and thorax clear stone- 

 color, with a pink shade in ihe suture between them. Palpi dusky, a few pink hairs 

 at their base. Abdomen above reddish, with a dorsal row of small black dots. Be- 

 neath stone color, as are the legs, the fore coxte of the latter shaded with pink. All 

 the wings pale stone color, above and below. Fringes and extreme costa paler. 

 Expanse of wings 1.25 inch. Hab. Tucson, Ariz. 

 Not uncommon at light in August. In form it is near eglc, but 

 smaller, and differs from it in having pale costa and red abdomen. 



Euchaetes Bolteri. 9- Palpi, eyes and antennae dull black. Thorax white 

 above, with a fine red line on the front of the prothorax. Thorax below slate color 

 with a red patch centrally. Legs dark gray; coxae of anterior pair red; base of the 

 femora white. Abdomen bright orange above, dull white beneath, with a white anal 

 tuft, a dorsal series of black dots as well as a lateral series. Primaries dull white, 

 slightly tinted on the outer half witli irregular markings of light stone-drab color. 

 These markings vary in depth of color in different specimens, and extent; in one 

 specimen they are so close that only fine white points of the ground color of the wing 

 show between them. Secondaries pale slate color. Beneath, all the wings are uni- 

 form pale stone-color. 



Expanse of wings 1.40 inch. Hab. Texas, A. Bolter. 



The above description was kindly furnished me by ,Mr. Bolter, 

 drawn up from the three females in his possession. The species is very 

 distinct, being close to e/egans, but differing in color of abdomen and 

 tint of wings. 



Halesidota scapularis. (j'. Eyes black. Head pale fawn color. Antenna- 

 stout, long, rufous. Prothorax dirty white, with brown median line. Patagia like 

 prothorax, brown in front. Thorax brown, with triangular white spot in front. Ab- 

 domen dark yellow ochre above, banded below with brown and pale fawn color. 

 Primaries dark brown with six irregular bands of white spots. The first basal and 

 narrow, the spots fused into an irregular curved band. The second row consists of a 

 large irregular spot below the median vein, and a long costal spot divided by the sub- 

 costal vein. The third row has a similar costal spot, a small one below the median 

 vein, and a large one above and a small one below the submedian vein. The fourth 

 row has five spots, the middle one very small. The fifth row is submarginal, and 

 consists of eight lunate spots decreasing in size towards the costa where they also be- 

 come more ovate! The sixth row is marginal, triangular, a small spot at the end of 

 each of the nervules. Secondaries very pale fawn-white, with four darker submarg- 

 inal spots, those near the apex largest. 9- Similar to (^, but the head brown, the 

 spots on the primaries larger and slightly more irregular, and but two spots on the 

 secondaries, the largest near the apex. Beneath, the secondaries show a dusky shade 

 at the middle of the costa, irregularly connected with the apical spot.
