subapical spots white and the remainder yellow ; in the female the five 

 spots on the wing are in two series, the two upper being nearer the 

 exterior margin, and the three lower are nearer the base ; in other 

 words, they do not form a continuous line as in the male. This spe- 

 cies has been confounded in collections with cofaqui Strecker, which 

 was described from a female. The male of cofaqui is marked practi- 

 cally like the female, but the male has the long hair on the inferiors as 

 in streckeri. This long hair is also conspicuous in streckeri at the base 

 of the superiors below. This fine species is described from two males 

 in my own collection ; one is from Texas and the other probably from 

 Arizona, the exact locality not being known in either case, and a pair 

 in the collection of Dr. Herman Strecker of Reading, Pa. One of 

 these is from Texas and was collected by the late Jacob Boll and the 

 other from the San Juan reconnaissance, made under the charge of 

 Lieut. Ruffner, Colorado, in 1877." 



Habitat. — Arizona ; Texas ; Colorado.

Meg-atliymus ursus Poling, Ent. News, 13, 4, 1902, pi. 4. 



"9. Expanse 3^ inches. Primaries above brown with three sub- 

 costal yellowish-white spots and a band of five large orange spots ex- 

 tending from these to near the internal margin ; a spot of the same 

 color near the end of the cell. On the primaries beneath these mark- 

 ings are repeated. Secondaries above immaculate, fringes white. 

 Beneath, there are two white spots on the costa and four small white 

 spots in a line below the central area of the wing." 



Habitat. — Pima County, Arizona. The author of the spe- 

 cies expresses the opinion that this is the female of neumoe- 

 geni. I have not seen the species. It may be readily 

 known from the excellent colored figure in Entomological 

 News. It looks to me like a large female of streckeri. 



Meg-athymus smitliii Druce, Biol. Cent. -Am. Het., 2, 320, 1896, 

 pi. 69, f 5 cf . 

 " Male. — Primaries and secondaries dark brown ; the primaries with 

 a small spot at the end of the cell, three spots beyond it on the costal 

 margin near the apex, and a submarginal row of small spots extend- 

 ing almost to the anal angle, the cell pale yellow, fringe alternately 

 pale yellow and brown ; secondaries with a submarginal row of rather 

 indistinct yellow spots extending from near the apex to the anal 

 angle, the fringe white ; the underside of the primaries brown, with 

 the spots as above, but larger and whiter, that of the secondaries
