never seen this form from any of the neighboring 

 states though it may occur there. The paratype is 

 in very poor condition and much patched, but the geni- 

 taha show it to be correctly placed. 



This completes the strictly broad, kite-shaped penis 

 forms of crocataria, but there is an intermediate 

 species from Florida which seems best referred 

 here, and I propose to describe as follows : 



Xanthotype rufaria sp. nov. Plate VIII. Vol. 2, 

 No. 6, Figures 1, 2, 3 and 6G. 



Primaries orange ochre with numerous reddish 

 brown strigae The usual basal band of spots, with 

 small round extra discal spot beyond. The extra 

 discal band is solid at inner margin to median vein 

 where it has a tendency to fork. The fringe is quite 

 reddish ochre and this seems one of the most constant 

 characters. The secondaries marked as usual with 

 numerous strigse and outer interrupted band. The 

 fringe is reddish ochre and the terminal dots seem 

 larger than on the fore wings. Beneath, as above 

 only there is a tendency to slightly lighter color on 

 all wings basally. 



The genitalia is most distinct from all the other 

 species ; the penis is broad, but not kite-shaped, re- 

 sembling more a long necked vase, with sharp scal- 

 loped sides near apex. The tip of the penis has a 

 deep scallop in the center with the highest points on 

 the sides, produced to sharp points. The harpe is of 

 unusual shape, bein somewhat like a duck's head up- 

 side down. The ceros is heavily spined and has a 

 flap at base with spines projecting at all angles, and 

 the lower costa is slightly scalloped. The shape of 

 the penis, with the peculiar harpe and flap to ceros 

 renders this species one of the most distinct of the 

 group.
