184 LEPIDOPTERA. 



Eudanius (Cogia) cutis Skinner, Ent. News, 5, 332, 1894. 



" This species is somewhat smaller than bathyllus, but in 

 color comes closer to ^noschus and hippahis. If the recent 

 subdivisions of the genus are accepted it would go in the 

 genus Cogia along with hippalus. It expands one and three- 

 eights inches (distance from middle of thorax to apex of 

 wing doubled). The superior wings have the same trans- 

 lucent white spots common to this section of Eudanius 

 There are three of these spots on the outer third of the 

 costa, and a small point below and toward the outer margin. 

 In the centre of the costa is a linear spot which runs parallel 

 to the costa ; below this and not in line, is another spot ; 

 the eighth and last spot is in the centre of the outer half of 

 the wing. In one specimen the discal spot is divided. The 

 inferiors are immaculate, and have a small tuft or pencil of 

 hairs arising from the base of the abdominal fold. Fringes 

 cinereous. Underside : Superiors with the same translucent 

 spots as above. Inferiors as in the other allied species. It 

 may readily be distinguished from the other species of Eu- 

 damus (except hippalus) by the tuft of hairs on the second- 

 aries. Differs from hippahis in not having the characteristic 

 white fringes of inferiors and is a much smaller species — 

 being only about one-half the size. 



Described from four males from Round Mountain, Blanco 

 County, Texas, Aug. 27, 1894. 



Types in collection of the Academy of Natural Sciences of 

 Philadelphia. 



Females have subsequently been received and are a little 

 larger than the males and lack the abdominal tuft which is a 

 male character." 



Eudamvis (Cogia) hippalus Edw., Papilio, 2, 27, 1882. 



'^ Male. — Expands 1.6 inch. Upperside glossy-brown; primaries 

 have at three-fourths the distance from base to apex, four minute, 

 whitish, semi-transparent spots on costal margin, three of them in per- 

 pendicular line, the fourth a little outside ; a similar spot in lower dis- 

 coidal interspace, a small rectangular spot in upper median a large 

 rhomboid in lower median interspace ; these three in an oblique line ; 

 a bar across cell just above the rhomboid, and above cell a dash nearly 

 parallel to costal edge ; fringes of primaries alternately fuscous and
