streak; the fringes of hind wing' of Dcva are white, of Lunus yellow, 

 and the difference between under side of thorax and paljii is of a like 

 nature. 



Pamphila Bellus, n. sp. $ . — Exp. 1.2 inch. 



Upper side uniform dark brown, glossy; stigma on primaries dull 

 black, narrow, straight; fringes long, orange. 



Under side brown, over disk of primaries, to hind and inner margins; 

 the remainder of primaries and all of secondaries, except next inner 

 margin, where the brown ground appears, has a greenish black reflec- 

 tion, and under the glass is seen to be thickly covered with green scales; 

 fringes as above. 



Body dark brown; legs same; palj)i orange, the terminal joint black; 

 frontal hairs orange; collar and the hairs at base of antenna? same; an- 

 tennae black, luteous on under side; club dark red. 



From one $ taken in southern Arizona by Mr. Morrison, 1SS3, and 

 in Mr. Neumoegen's collection. Stands near Vestris, Bois., ^ Kiozvah, 

 Reak., = Osceola Lintn. ; and is distinguished by its orange fringes, 

 palpi, etc. 



Pamphila Cestus, n. sp. $ . — ^Exp. 1.5 inch. 



Upper side brown, densely covered with yellow-green scales, and on 

 secondaries yellow-green hairs; primaries have seven semi-transparent 

 spots, three sub-apical on costa, three in the median and sub-median 

 interspaces, forming an oblique row, the two upper ones large, and one 

 in cell, next arc, large, with a deep angular incision on either side. 

 Secondaries have a similar spot in cell, and a demi-band of four large 

 spots across outer half of wing, with a slight fifth spot concealed under 

 the long hairs; fringes largely fuscous on primaries, white next inner 

 angle, a little cinereous in middle of each interspace towards apex, of 

 secondaries white, with a few brown hairs at ends of nervules on upper 

 half of wing. Under side mottled greenish gray and brown, with a 

 purple tint; the spots repeated, enlarged; o^ secondaries the five spots 

 are confluent, and two in addition appear m the sub-costal interspace, 

 one near outer angle, one near base. 



From one $ taken by Mr. Morrison in southern Arizona. 



The species is conspicuously marked with spots, and is prettily varie- 

 gated on the under side, much resembling P. Pytlwn, Edw., in the 

 coloration. It stands near that species. 



Phyciodes Nycteis, var. Drusius. — I give this name to the West- 

 ern form of the species; distinguished by the excess of black on upper 

 side, and consequent restricted fulvous spaces. The fulvous is dull, 

 and the black ]:)ale. This is the Colorado and Arizona form of Nycteis. 



Phyciodes Harrisii, Scud. — I should place this species in Melitcsa, 

 Group II, next before Hoffmanni. The larva shows affinity with Me-
