132 NEW SPECiE.S, VARIETIES, &c. 



EUDKYAS WiLSONii, Grote, {Ciris W.) Proc. Enl. Soc. Phil. II, p. 65, t. 3, (1863). This beautiful specie.s has hitherto only 

 been known by two examples, one in Mus, Conip. Zool. at Cambridge and the other, from whieh the original description and figure 

 were made, in" Mus. Am. Ent. Soc. Phila. It difi'ers remarkably from the other species in having pectinated antenna;. 



Heliothis Lanul, n. sp. Expands lyV inches. Head and body white lightly tinged with sienna or rust brown al basal part 

 of thorax and tips of patagi.T?. Upper surface ; primaries white and notvery dark rust brown; the basal third is at and near base 

 brown, then while with scattered brown points, then comes a line which extends from costa to inner margin as in Rhmlosa, Eegia, etc., 

 but not as much bent as in these species ; this line is succeeded by the median space which is brown and encloses two conspicuous white spots, 

 the largest is in the discoidal cell, the otiier halfway between it and the inner margin; the largest of these white spots is joined exte- 

 riorly by a metallic lead coloured discal spot; the outer edge of the median space, which is very much produced opposite the discal 

 spot, is succeeded by a white line edged outwardly with brown, beyond this is again white, then an irregular jagged line of brown edged 

 outwardly with white; this is succeeded by the marginal band of brown with a row of minute black spots. Fringe white with brown 

 points at "tips of veins. Secondaries silky white with a very faint brownish snbmarginal band. Fringe long and white. Under sur- 

 face white with markings of primaries in a manner somewhat faintly repeated on costal and exterior parts. 



Heuothis Gloriosa, n. sp. Expands IJ inches. Head and body above white with pale olivaceous shades; beneath white. 

 Antennae and legs white. Upper surface; primaries dull purplish red and olivaceous, neither of these colours intense, marked some- 

 what after the manner of iJiim/osa and allies. The basal third of wing is purplish and is separated from the median space by a pure 

 white line which widens at the veins thus forming teeth ; the median space is olivaceous and encloses a purplish discal spot which 

 latter is prolonged outwardly to and beyond another white toothed line which separates the median from the outer space; the latter is 

 purplish interiorly and olivaceous marginally, the latter colour is more or less at the nervules encroached on by the purple. Fringe 

 light and dark olivaceons. Secondaries dirty white; a faint discal mark; marginal third of wing broadly shaded with brownish. 

 Fringe white with brown at veins. Under suriace ; primaries shining white ; fu.'cous discal spot; a pale crimson shade near apex; 

 a broad fuscous snbmarginal band. Fringe fuscous and white. Secondaries silky white, a very faint discal mark; a slight pale 

 crimson tint at apex ; fringe white with fuscous at nervules, which latter colour does not extend to the terminations thereof. By far 

 the largest, and with the exception of Regia the most beautiful of that group of whicli Eknilosa is the type. 



EuDRYAS Gloverii, Grote (i?usc(>rAopteru« G.U Larva. Length 1 J inches. Same form as Gra(a. Ground colour pale olive 

 green.* Head and legs red, former with some small black spots. First segment red above and also with a number of small black 

 spots. On the sides of all .save the first and last segments is a transverse rather narrow- velvet black bar which extends nearly to the 

 middle of the back near which it is widest, these bands do not connect dorsally, but the space between them in each segment except the 

 the tirst and two last is supplied with a short red transverse band ; on the next to last segment the black bands are only on the sides; 

 on the back are two parallel red transverse bands, on the first of which are eij^t and on the second four small black dots; the anal 

 segment has also some round black dots. On each segment, especially dorsally, are a number of very fine dotted black lines. From 

 head to anus extends a somewhat broad red band. Beneath on each of the fourth, fifth, tenth and eleventh segments is a transverse 

 line formed by an almost connected row of small brown spots. 



C.A.TOCALA Ulalume, n. sp. Size and sliape of C Rnbinsonii, Grote, and in position it might stand between that species and 

 G. Desperala, Guen. The lines run much as in the latter, but are not so plainly distinguishable owing to the whole wing being heavily 

 dusted with black points, thus obscuring the pale ground colour very much more than in Desperala ; in the latter there is a suffusion of 

 brown between the transverse po.sterior line and the snbmarginal line, as well as on other parts of the wing; nothing of this is notice- 

 able on the present species ; in many respects it resembles Lacrymosa, Guen., but is not as dark as that species nor as large ; under surface 

 nearlv as in C. Desperala, but with more tendency to suffusion in the black. Perhaps the best idea I can convey of Ulalume is by say- 

 ing that were the heavy dark brown shadings which accompany the transverse lines and are on other parts of the primaries of Desperala 

 away, and the whole surface peppered with black atoms, it would make a fair counterpart of the insect I am now hopelessly attempt- 

 ing to describe in some such way that the reader may be able to identify it. 



Mr. Boll also took Piiilampelus Linnei, G.-E.,t near San .Antonia; I formerly received the same species from Mr. Doll, who 

 captured it in east Florida.

ON SOME LEPIDOPTERA FROM THE REGIONS WEST OF HUDSON'S BAY, BETWEEN 



THE LATTER AND LAKE ATHABASCA. 



To Mr. Woldemar GefJ'cken of Stuttgart, Germany. I am indebted for a large number of Lepidoptera ftora those regions west of 

 the Hudson's Bay, known as New Xorth and New South Wales, mostly from the latter. This tract of country lies between o3° and 6.3° 

 N. L., and in common with most parts of British Columbia is a trackless wilderness, traversed only by the native Indians or hunters 

 and those in the interest of the fur trade, and it was only after several years of ceaseless efforts, accompanied by repeated disappointments 

 which would have thoroughly disheartened any one save a true lover of nature, that Mr. GeHi^ken at length succeeded in securing con- 

 nections that enabled him to receive from time to time large ninnbers of examples, though imfortunately not always in the best condition, 

 owing to the lack of proficiency of the collectors employed, who were mo.^tly Indian boys and girls. These species, as will be seen, are 

 in great measure the same as or forms of those found in N. W. Labrador, though some indigenous to the latter locality, sucJi as Colias 

 Nantes and Arg. Polaris, were not among the collections at various times received. 



Papilio Turnus, L. (^9- Examples small, somewhat more heavily marked with black than the United States and Canada 

 examples and agreeing nearly with the description of those from the Island of Anticosti (south of Labrador) near top of page 69 of this 

 work. Not uncommon. 



PiERis (Napi) var. Frigida, Scud, i^ doe.s not differ from those found in south west Labrador; i. e., with upper side immacu- 

 late white, and under side of secondaries and apices of primaries yellowish, with veins of secondaries accompanied with brown. Only 

 a few examples received. 



Colias Eurytheme, Bdl. (^. One example not differing in size or colour from those found in the United States. 



*This description is from an inflated example in which the colour may not have been as vivid as during life, 

 t Proc. Ent. Soc, PhiL V, p. 182, t. Ill, (1865).
