almost obsolete. Behind t. p. line is a rather broad brown shade, 

 darkest towards the costa. Secondaries silvery white, shaded with 

 dusky on the margins. Under side of the primaries with dusky shades, 

 particularly at the margins. Secondaries silvery white, with darker 

 shades; a sub- median band being common to both wings. Thorax and 

 abdomen fawn color, the latter palest. i c? .

Perigea dilecta, n. sp. — Fawn color, with a very decided reddish 

 tinge. Basal and t. a. lines obsolete, or at least very imperfectly indi- 

 cated; t. p. very strongly marked in rich brown, indistinct for its ex- 

 ternal half, but branching at the middle of the wing in dark thick 

 streak towards the costa, and above the reniform, which is thus left 

 unenclosed posteriorly. The reniform is drab, much paler than the 

 ground color, and below it is a minute white dot. Sub-marginal line 

 indicated only on costa by a small triangular patch of brown, and a 

 row of very small intranervular black dots. Secondaries dusky, 

 deepest at the margins. Under side wholly dusky, paler at the base, 

 discal spots well defined, and a faint darker band common to both 

 wings. I S .

Tamila arefacta, n. sp. — Primaries cream-white, the bands of a 

 pale shade of brown; basal shade not reaching the costa; central 

 and sub-marginal shades broadly waved, the former with a broken 

 band of rich dark brown in strong contrast with the rest of the wing; 

 a few dark brown scales at both terminations of the sub-marginal 

 shade. Secondaries reddish buff, with indistinct trace of double me- 

 dian band. Beneath wholly deep buff, the primaries with a reddish 

 tinge, the discal mark being quite prominent. Thorax and abdomen 

 concolorous. i S .

Florida. Coll. B. Neumoegen. 



A very beautiful and peculiar species, allied both to T. nnndina and 

 T. tertia, but decidedly distinct from either. 



Anthoecia petulans, n. sp. — Primaries bright buff, the lines and 

 bands more deeply orange; basal space darkest. T. a. line slightly 

 dentate on sub-costal vein, thence oblique to internal margin; t. p. line 

 as in many species of this genus, arcuate, bent inwardly at the middle, 

 thence touching internal margin exactly opposite the starting point on 

 the costa. Median space shaded with orange, with small paler discal 

 dot. Marginal space and fringe pale buff. Secondaries pale orange, 

 with black shading at the base, a small discal dot, and a moderate mar-
