A. edwardsi n. sp. (PI. VIII, Figs. 9, 10). 



For the species passing under the name of ccstus we apparently 

 need a name and we would propose calling it edwardsi. The color of 

 the upperside is deep black brown, primaries sprinkled with yellow 

 scales basally and along the costa and secondaries clothed in basal 

 half with long yellowish hairs and also dusted with yellow ; primaries 

 with a large hyaline white quadrate spot in the cell, somewhat con- 

 tracted in the middle; three small spots below the costa near apex, 

 arranged in an oblique row ; three similar spots beyond the stigma 

 parallel to outer margin, the lowest is small and triangular, the mid- 

 dle one very large and quadrate, the upper one smaller and quadrate 

 or round ; stigma faint, narrow, black, extending obliquely from the 

 base of vein 3 to vein 1 ; fringes white, slightly checkered. Second- 

 aries with a small white spot in the cell and a slightly bent submarginal 

 row of three white spots, the upper one largest and apparently com- 

 posed of two confluent spots. Beneath, primaries as above, shaded 

 apically with blue-gray scaling, the lowest spot of the outer row al- 

 most obscured by a whitish cloud, the others as distinct as on the 

 upper side; secondaries heavily suffused with blue gray, almost uni- 

 colorous, with a curved basal row of three whitish spots and a com- 

 plete outer row, parallel to the outer margin of which the spots cor- 

 responding to those of the upper side are largest. Expanse 30-35 mm. 

 5 similar to $ but rather larger.

This species is figured by Wright as ccstus (1. c. PI. XXXII, 

 Fig. 482).

This species is placed by Dyar in the genus Lcrodea Scud, char- 

 acterized by lack of stigma in $ ; as the $ 's show a narrow, distinct 

 but rather broken stigma we should be inclined to place the species in 

 Atrytonopsis G. & S. along with hianna Scud.

This species has evidently been confused with fitsca G. & R. by 

 Dyar. It was described (Tr. Am. Ent. Soc. I, 288) from 1 $ 2 9 

 from the vicinity of New Orleans. These three specimens are pres-
