 about 3 mm. from the apex. The spots on the miiryin of secondaries are smaller 

 than in the (;5\ and the abdomen is wholly roy red, except a blackish brown dorsal 

 line. Exp. wings, 34 mm. Length ot body, 15 mm. 



From 6 examples, ^, Q, faised from larviv found near Denver, 

 Colorado, b}- Mr. D. Bruce, to whom I dedicate this beautiful s])ecies. 

 The vestiture is very long, and the wings though gaily colored, are thinly 

 clothed with scales, giving the insect a slightly transparent look. It has 

 a remarkable resemblance to Phragmaiobia, and but for the strongly pec- 

 tinated antennae of the (^ , I shouUl not hesitate to place in that genus. 



Arctia Franconia, n. var. 



A form oi A . ftgnrata, Drvuy, in which the di>c of the lower wings is bright 

 golden yellow. The primaries are rich black — a rather broad band of cream tolor 

 rnns from the middle of b.ase to near internal angle, where it forms the one side of the 

 W like mark, which is here very distinct. A small sublunate cream colored dash in 

 the cell. Internal margin narrowly cream color. Secondaries golden yellow on the 

 disc, with very broad black marginal band ex'tending around the costa, indented on 

 its inner edge, and joined in middle of the costa to a large black discal spot. At ex- 

 treme base are two black dashes. The extreme abdominal margin is yellow, and 

 there are long dusky yellow hairs clothing this portion of the black band. Head in 

 front, tegulre, and sides of abdome^ cream color. Palpi and antennas black, as are 

 also the disc of thorax and two spots on the collar. The coxi\; are cream color, the 

 tarsi black. The underside has the markings repeated. 

 Ex]-) w.'ngs, 32 nini. Length of bi)(ly, 15 mm.

Arctia remissa, n. sp. (?) 



O. Closely resembling //. F/7r/-^rt'/, Stretch, of which it may be a variety. In 

 th3 color and markings of the abdomen and legs it exactly agrees with Mr. Stretch's 

 description (Zyg. Bombyc. N. Amer., p. 221), the diflerence' being as follows ; the 

 markings of the primaries are buff, not lemon yellow, the secondaries are black only 

 at the base, and a little way along the abdominal margin, there is a black waved 

 central streak, and (our submarginal black spots, the apical one very small. Next to 

 this is a dentate line, then a large sublunate spot, and a linear one at the anal angle. 

 B;;neath the wings are both wholly suffused witli orange red, the costa of primaries 

 and the whole surface of the secondaries being clearly of that color, the markings ot 

 upper side being but faintly seen. 



Exp. wings, 38 mm. A. Ynrrowi is given as 1.75 ii c'l.
