ine. The angulations are even sharper than in Hypocliraria ; 

 while in Duaria they are softened. 



Endropia Vinulentaria, G. & R., Ann. N. Y. Lye. Hist., 

 PI. 15 A, fig. 5. ?. 



The type of this was not returned by Dr. Packard, as far as I am 

 aware. It is figured by him on Plate 12, fig. 14 of his Monograph. 

 It cannot be confounded with its ally E. vinosaria on account of 

 the simple extra discal line, the dove color or " chocolate-brown" 

 of the wings within the outer median line, and the unbroken 

 purplish terminal field of hind wings. The original figure is 

 colored. There is no doubt of this very pretty species, which is in 

 most collections. 



Byssodes Cerussaria, n. S. 



Mouse-gray ; concolorous. At base of fore wings an ochre 

 line edged without by black and gilded scales. A sub-basal band 

 angulate on sub-costal vein, ochre, edged with black and gilded 

 scales. A similar band at middle of wing, first narrowly black 

 and gilded inwardly, then ochre, then narrowly white. Outwardly 

 the mesial band shows a gilded edge at costa. Hind wings with 

 a continuation of the mesial band, an ochre stripe edged on both 

 sides finely with black and gilded scales ; beyond again ochrey. 

 A subterminal bluish metallic narrow band. On interspace be- 

 tween veins 3 and 4 a small red spot edged with silvery and then 

 black scales without ; a larger spot on the interspace above. Be- 

 neath paler, without marks; a shaded mesial band indicated.

 Allied to Drury's Geouietra Argentata from Jamaica. 



This species differs from any described by Guenee in this 

 tropical and beautiful genus. With CaiitetJiia Grotei, Scepsis 

 Edwardsii, Ltioprosop?(s Fuil/is and severalbutterfiies, it shows the 

 relationship of the South Floridian fauna with that of Cuba and 

 the West Indies. Is it not possible that there has been a former 

 connection between the Peninsula and the Islands? 



NOTES ON LEPIDOPTERA. 



AlypIA dipsaci, G. &^ R. — As this species has not occurred, so far as 

 I know, to any collector since Mr. Lorquin supplied the types to Boisduval many 

 years ago, it may be of interest to record the receipt from Dr. Behrof one very 

 perfect male taken recently at Salinas, in Monterey county, California, which 

 corresponds identically with the description of G. «S: R. — R. H. Stretch. 



Xylina Cinerea.— In his note on this species (p. 63), Prof. Fernald has 

 apparently misapprehended the spirit and object of my remarks (p. 43), which 

 were designed to refute the charge that the species was known to science at the 

 time of the description rather than to question its identity with aniennata. The 

 fact that subsequent comparison with Walker's atitennata showed cinerea to be 

 that species (a decision which could not have been reached from the description 

 of antennata which Mr. Grote admits " is far from satisfactory") does not affect 

 the case. Yet I referred, to the possible doubt implied in the Brooklyn list be-
