outer branch after touching the margin, turns again to the costa, which it reaches 

 about 3 inn), from the apex. The spots on the margin of secondaries are smallei 

 than in the j , ami the abdomen is wholly ro y red, except a blackish brown dorsal 

 line. Exp. wings, 34 mm. Length of body, 15 nun. 



From 6 examples, ^, Q, raised from larvae found near Denver. 

 Colorado, by Mr. 1). Bruce, to whom I dedicate this beautiful species. 

 The vestiture is very long, and the wings though gaily colored, are thinly 

 clothed with scales, giving the insect a slightly transparent look. It has 

 a remarkable resemblance to Phrogmaiobia, and but for the strongly pec- 

 tinated antenna' of the ,j\ 1 should not hesitate to place in that genus. 



Arctia Franconia, n. var. 



A form of A. figurata, Drury, in which the disc of the lower wings is bright 

 golden yellow. The primaries are rich black— a rather broad band of cream color 

 runs from the middle of base to near internal angle, where it forms the one side of the 

 W like mark, which is here very distinct. A small sublimate cream colored dash in 

 the cell. Internal margin narrowly cream color. Secondaries golden yellow on the 

 disc, with very broad black marginal band extending around the costa, indented on 

 its inner edge, and joined in middle of the costa to a large black discal spot. At ex- 

 treme base are two black dashes. The extreme abdominal margin is yellow, and 

 there are long dusky yellow hairs clothing this portion of the black band. Head in 

 front, tegulse, and sides of abdomen cream color. Palpi and antennas black, as arc- 

 also the disc of thorax and two spots on the collar. The coxa; are cream color, the 

 tarsi black. The underside has the markings repeated. 



Exp wings, 32 mm. Length ofb idy, 15 mm.

Arctia remissa, n. sp. (?) 



5. Closely resembling A. Yarrawi, Stretch, of which it may be a variety. In 

 the color and markings of the abdomen and legs it exactly agrees with Mr. Stretch's 

 '1 si option (Zyg. Bombyc. N. Amer., p. 221), the difference being as follow- ; the 

 markings of the primaries are buff, not lemon yellow, the secondaries are black only 

 at the base, and a little way along the abdominal margin, there is a black waved 

 central streak, and four submarginal black spots, the apical one very small. Next to 

 this i- a dentate line, then a large sublimate spot, and a linear one at the anal angle. 

 Beneath the wings are both wholly suffused witli orange red, the costa of primaries 

 and the whole surface of the secondaries being clearly of that color, the markings ot" 

 upper side being but faintly .seen. 



Exp. wings, 38 mm. A. Yarrowi is given as 1.75 ii ch. 



1 Ungoa Bay, Hudson B. territory, Lucien M. Turner. The 



remarkable difference in locality, Mr. Stretch's type having been taken in 

 Arizona, leads me to think that this may be a distinct species. The 

 specimen from which my description is made, had evidently been put into 

 its paper alive, as some eggs had been deposited. These were clear 

 while, and very glossy shining like satin, flattened on the side of attach- 

 ment. They had produced several larvae, all of which were killed. These
