Callimorpha reversa. Head and prothorax ochre yellow. Palpiochre 



yellow, I. hick at the tips. Patagia white. Thorax white, with a 1 road central brown 

 stripe. Abdomen wine, with traces of a narrow dorsal stripe. Legs yellowish, coxa> 

 of, anterior pair with a round black dot; outer edges of anterior and middl 

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

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

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

 th I ami. a second brown band runs to the outer margin just below the apex, divid 

 ing the wing into three pi ineipal white patches. The basal patch is triangular (some 

 times divided by a narrow basal brown band). '1 hat 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 

 equal -pots, by an expansion on the discal vein of the bn wn costa] margin, and by 

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

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

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



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

 York, Hy. Edwards; Kansas, Prof. Snow. 



This species has long been confounded with Leconki. Harris and 

 Doubleday discussed 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 

 ol the primaries. In Leconki, this starts from the inner margin and goes 

 to the apex, 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 

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



Arctia approximata. 9- Head and palpi black beneath, front and vertex 

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

 stripes. Abdomen red 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 \V rests, and longitudinal streak, dark cream color. The terminal 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 

 Mack spots, winch 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 145 inch., length of body 0.52 inch. Hab. 

 Canada, Hy. Edwards. 



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

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

 secondaries are like Saundersii 'and intermedia. Described from 1 Q,
