2 $ . Colorado. 



Type. Coll. Hy. Edwards. 



Lycomorpha constans. Hy. Edw. n. sp. 



Smaller than L. pJiohis. Primaries bright orange, with nar- 

 row marginal border of black, widest at the apex. Secondaries 

 black, with narrow costal margin of orange. Antennje black. 

 Thorax black on the disc, the outer margin "orange. Abdomen 

 black. Tibiae whitish. Tarsi black. 



Exp. wings 0.70. 



Prescott, Ariz. W. Howard. 



Type, Coll. Hy. Edwards. 



At once distinguishable from L. phohis by the narrow margin 

 of the primaries and the almost wholly black secondaries. 



Lycomorpha desertus. Hy. Edw., n. sp. 



^ . Closely resembling L. pholus, but with the black margin 

 of the primaries narrower, though not so narrow as in the preced- 

 ing sp. It is broadest on the apex, and its inner edge is oblique 

 as in L. pholus, while in L. constans it is rounded inwardly. The 

 black margin of secondaries is also narrower than in L. pholn, 

 and does not curve upwards to the base along the anal margin as 

 in that species. The larger portion of the wing is thus orange. 

 Abdomen, antenna and tarsi black. Palpi and base of tibiae 

 orange. 



Exp. wings. 0.75 inch. 



?. Much larger than the $, with the primaries otange, 

 a broad, black transverse band crossing them near the base and 

 another from costa to the termination of the internal margin, 

 thus leaving the apex orange. Secondaries as in the $ . Thorax 

 and abdomen orange, above and below. Tibiae and tarsi orange. 

 Antennae blackish, paler at their base. 



Exp. wings. 1.25 inch. 



Underside, the same as the upper, in both sexes. 



I S. I ?. Tucson, Arizona. W. S. Edwards. 



Types. Coll. Hy. Edwards. 



The examples of this singular species reached me in copula- 

 tion, or they would have suggested different species, if not dis- 

 tinct genera. They, as well as the previous species, seem to ex- 

 hibit the richness of the insect fauna of the little known region 

 from whence they come. 



NOTES ON THE LARVAE OF SOME MOTHS. 



By G. H. French, Carbondale, III, 



Arctia decorata, Saund. 



On page 182 of the 7th Illinois State Entomologist's report, 

 I gave a brief description of the larva of this moth under the 

 name oi Arctia Phalerata, Harr. I had reared several specimens.
