Euelidia dyari n. sp. 



This is a new name to designate the species which Dr. Dyar mis- 

 took for intercalaris Grt., when, in 1898, he determined that there 

 were two allied species. Mr. Grote's description is peculiarly indefi- 

 nite and applies with almost equal force to two forms with practi- 

 cally the same pattern of maculation. I had never seen the two 

 together and may have put the same name on both at different times. 



Apparently Dr. Dyar accepted the specimen labelled intercalaris 

 in the U. S. National Museum as the true species, and described as 

 diagonalis the form differing from it. Prof. F. H. Snow recently 

 sent me, among other material for determination, a specimen of the 

 supposed intercalaris, and, as he collected the material for the origi- 

 nal species, I returned the example unnamed, with the request that 

 he compare it with his type material. This he did, and was good 

 enough to send me one of the two typical specimens from the 

 Museum of the University of Kansas. This proves to be diagona 

 lis Dyar, which is therefore a synonym of intercalaris Grt., and 

 leaves an unnamed form. Dijari is that form of Euelidia in which 

 a broad pale band curves upward from the hind angle to connect 

 with the equally pale reniform. Intercalaris is that form in which 

 the bar from the hind angle is oblique and reaches the median vein 

 well beyond the reniform. The synonymy stands: 



E. intercalaris Grt. 

 diagonalis Dyar.

Isogona reniformis a. sp. — Ground color a very pale gray, with a yel- 

 lowish admixture, tending to ashen. Head and collar rusty yellow-brown. Tho- 

 racic disc like primaries. Primaries with all the veins pale through the dark 

 markings of the wing; reniform and most of the s. t. space contrasting deep 

 bronze-brown. Basal line indicated by scattered blackish scales. T. a. line sin- 

 gle, deep brown, broken, marked by a triangular spot on costa, variably evident 

 below that. T. p. line, single, brown, linear, broadly broken on each vein, rather 

 squarely exserted over the cell and a little incurved below. S. t. line of the 

 ground color, narrow, well marked, irregularly sinuate, dislocated on veins 5 and 

 6, emphasized by a preceding dark shade and a much narrower following one. 

 A series of black terminal lunules, and a yellow line at base of fringes. Orbicu- 

 lar a deep brown round dot or spot of variable size, and it may be altogether 

 wanting. Reniform large, brown, with a little curve, narrowly bordered with 

 pale scales. Secondaries ranging from yellowish to smoky, the outer margin a 

 little darker, a discal lunule obvious in some specimens. Beneath, very pale 

 yellowish ; primaries with a discal cloud. Expands .80-. 92 inches = 20-23 mm.
