and West Indian species are congeneric ; Pardalis from Florida 

 is, I think, described also from the West Indies, but I have not 

 been able to compare types. The difference in the neuration of 

 hind wings alone is a generic character quite remarkable and 

 constant, so far as I have examined the species. 



EUSTROTIA DiSTINCTA. n. S. 



Size of Apicosa. Distinctly marked with black and white. 

 Base of wing blackish to tremulous black t. a. line, behind which 

 is a following uprighe white shade band. Ground color obscure 

 grayish olivaceous . this obtains on median space outwardly, and 

 encloses the small pale reniform. T. p. line much exserted and 

 irregular. A black apical patch with a white shading between 

 it and t. p. line. Another on internal margin before the angle, 

 edging the t. p. line outwardly. Hind wings fuscous, with an 

 ante marginal shade, like Apicosa; beneath paler, with double 

 shades and dot. Fore wings pale along terminal margin beneath. 

 Above, the black apical patch is partially cut by the pale s. t. 

 line. One good specimen. Coll. B. Neumoegen, Esq. 



Prothymia Plana, n. s. 



Smaller than Coccineifascia and without the band. Fore 

 wings dark yellow with contrasting pinkish-red fringes. No 

 markings. Hind wings translucent stramineous. Beneath all 

 pale yellowish, as is the body. On primaries beneath the fringe 

 is discolorous. One specimen. Arizona. Coll. B. Neumoegen, 

 Esq. So simply marked as to be easily known. 



Neumoegenia Poetica. Grote. 



In describing this species I omitted to state that the costal 

 region of primaries above was broadly white. It might be as- 

 sumed from the rest of the description, as the ground color is 

 given as " white," and the species is so simply marked and strik- 

 ing, no confusion could occur from want of detailed remarks. 



EUSTROTIA Propera. Grote. 



A second specimen shows traces of the blackish subterminal 

 line, marked on costa, and the terminal space is centrally soiled 

 with blackish. The fringe is dusky. This minute form can be 

 confounded with no other ; it belongs to the Apicosa series. 



Genus PlagiomimicUS. 



Front with a large, deep, empt}' cup, extending beyond the 

 facial vestiture and thus completely exposed. In Polenta, the 

 globose clypeus is surmounted by a shallow excavation with a 

 slight central protuberance. In Basilodes there is merely a 

 wrinkled prominence, the rim of which is hardly raised ; this holds 

 for the second species, B. Chrysopis ; in which it is a little smaller. 

 In Stiria the prominence is somewhat cordate, with better defined 

 edge, and there is a button-like protuberance inferiorly where the 

 base is indented. This holds for Stiria Sulp/mrea, Neum., except 

 that the protuberance is pushed in a little without being central ; 

 the excavation itself is a little more circular and smaller. In the
