and abdomen green, latter whitish on last two segments and with a broad dorsal 

 creamy line tending to broaden slightly on central segments but with no red 

 bordering; wings green, sprinkled with whitish and with small but distinct dark 

 discal dots ; a faint, white, curved, slightly irregular antemedian line on both 

 wings ; a similar postmedian line, in general parallel to outer margin ; costa of 

 primaries narrowly white, outer margin of both wings with distinct red line, 

 scarcely broken by minute white dots on the veins ; fringes with a distinct yellow 

 tinge, unicolorous except at apex of primaries which is tinged with reddish. 

 Beneath whitish green with faint discal dots, red terminal line and fringes as 

 above, abdomen and legs whitish, fore tibiae tinged with red. Expanse $ 18 

 mm., 9 24 mm. 



Habitat: &, Stemper, Fla. (Aug.); 9, Fort Myers, Fla. (Apr. 16-23). 

 3 S , 1 9 . Types, Coll. Barnes. 



The short palpi, ochreous line on abdomen and red terminal line 

 with uncheckered fringes should distinguish this form ; the secondaries 

 have the outer margin gently rounded with no angle at vein 4 but a 

 rather sharp anal angle. The $ antennae are narrowly bipectinate 

 and the hind tibiae possess a hair pencil. 



Racheospila associaria sp. nov. 



9. Palpi rather long, upturned and projecting well beyond head, reddish; 

 front rubbed, apparently reddish; white fillet between antennae bordered poster- 

 iorly narrowly with reddish ; thorax and abdomen green, latter white on the sides 

 and with a broad creamy dorsal stripe ; wings green sprinkled with white and 

 with very faint dark discal dots ; faint white antemedian and postmedian lines 

 much as in preceding species, but the outer slightly more angled on secondaries ; 

 costa of primaries whitish ; red terminal line more distinctly interrupted by white 

 dots than in preceding species ; fringes rubbed but apparently white ; secondaries 

 with a rather distinct angle on outer margin at vein 4. Beneath pale whitish 

 green, immaculate except red terminal line and pale costa of primaries. Expanse 

 25 mm. 



Habitat: Ft. Myers, Fla. (Apr. 16-23). 1 9. Type, Coll. Barnes. 



The much longer palpi in 9 separate the species from the pre- 

 ceding with which it has great similarity ; the more angled secondaries 

 and fainter discal dots are also points of distinction. 



Eois davisi Grossbeck. (p. 90) (PI. XVIII. Fig. 5). 



The 9 specimen from Everglade (Apr.) mentioned in the de- 

 scription is in the Barnes Collection; it was returned to us labelled 

 'suavata Hulst ?' ; we have placed a Paratype label on it and figure it on 

 PI. XVIII, Fig. 5. The remaining types are probably in the Davis col- 

 lection, possibly under the label suavata', in the records for this latter 

 species given on p. 92 we imagine the last two should be omitted as 

 they undoubtedly refer to davisi.
