species, G. olivacea, there is a slight excavation below the apex, the 

 general shape of the wing being, however, the same. The ivings a7'e 

 transparent across the median space both in the upper and lower pair, 

 and the vestiture is finer and thinner throughout than in the allied 

 genus. 71ie abdomen is very long and slender, extending for half its 

 length beyond the inargin of the hi7id tvings, a7id furnished with a very 

 long anal tuft, proportionately much longer than that of Lasiocampa. 

 The palpi are shorter, the front narrozver, and the antennce more closely 

 approaching each other at the base. The clothing of the legs is thinner, 

 but the tarsi in Gloveria are covered with lo7ig Ji7ie hairs, while in 

 Lasiocat7ipa they have the appearance of being abnost naked. 



It will thus be seen that while approaching the European genus very 

 closely, Gloveria has special characters of its own, and the discovery 

 of a number of species of a genus so remarkable cannot be regarded 

 but as a matter of great entomological interest. The transformations 

 of the group will shortly be made known by Mr. W. Schaus, Jr., who 

 is endeavoring to raise more than one of the species hereafter men- 

 tioned. I have not deemed it advisable to reprint the description of 

 G. Arizonoisis 9 , as it will be readily found in its original publication, 

 and has also been quoted by Mr. Strecker. 



Gloveria Arizonensis Pack. $. — Bright coffee-brown, slightly 

 approaching the shade oi Bo/nbyx Oue/rus L. On primaries the color 

 is deepest at the base, on the edge of the dark shade being a clear 

 w^hite discal spot. Behind the middle is a grayish cloud, through which, 

 near the centre, runs an even line curving a little inward near costa. 

 In the pale shade the nervures are distinctly brown. This pale shade 

 terminates posteriorly in a deeply dentate brown line, behind which 

 the margin is brown. Some grayish scales are scattered over the whole 

 surface, which, when held obliquely with the light, has an exquisite 

 purplish sheen. Secondaries have a pale median band, which is on 

 both wings slightly transparent. Beneath, the markings are repeated 

 more distinctly, but there is no trace of the lines on the primaries, and 

 the pale shades are resolved more into the form of bands. Thorax, 

 abdomen and legs concolorous. 



Exp. wings 60 mm. Length of body 25 mm. Length of anal tuft 

 10 mm. 



Five examples, Arizona, J. Doll. Coll. B. Neumoegen. 



G. dentata n. sp. — 9 . Color of G. A)^izojie7isis, 9 , but smaller, 

 and totally different in its markings. The primaries are deep brownish 

 gray, darkest on the external margins, the nervures being very strongly 

 marked, the lines being also very well defined. Over two-thirds of 

 the wing is a whitish shade, most distinct in the median space, and 

 terminating at the sub-marginal edge in a row of acute, prolonged
