9. Similar to @ without basal tufts to antennae and costa of primaries; 
veins of primaries slightly outlined beyond cell in ochreous. Expanse 18 mm. 
Hasitat. Chocoloskee, Fla. (¢), Marco, Fla. (Apr. 16-23) (9). 1 4, 
1 Q. Types, Coll. Barnes. 
The species apparently belongs close to Hampson’s Section IV 
(Pramadea) of this genus. Vein 7 of primaries is not as strongly 
curved nor so approached to vein 8 as is usual, the species being 
intermediate between Sylepta and Lygropia in this respect. 
NACOLEIA HAMPSONI sp. nov. (PI. IV, Fig. 2). 
Palpi white beneath, fuscous above suffused with ochreous; fore legs 
banded with black, front fuscous, thorax largely yellow-brown, shaded with 
fuscous, abdomen yellow, fuscous towards anal extremity; primaries brownish 
yellow with broad terminal black-brown border narrowing towards tornus, a 
median band of similar color, expanding to form a large square patch on 
costal half of wing with central yellow spot; costa from base to median band 
black-brown, base of wing very slightly blackish; fringes dusky with yellow 
patch at anal angle; secondaries similar in color to primaries with black-brown 
border narrowing towards anal angle and a slightly irregular antemedial band 
of varied width; fringes yellow, smoky towards apex. Beneath, paler yellow 
than above with markings repeated except that the medial band of primaries 
is confined to the square costal patch and that of secondaries is lacking, a 
small discal spot being present. Expanse 19 mm.

Sir Geo. Hampson, to whom we sent a specimen writes us that 
the species is unknown to him; we take pleasure therefore in naming 
the species after him. 
LOXOSTEGE ALBICEREALIS FLORIDALIS subsp. nov. (PI. II, Fig. 3). 
Ground color of primaries with less of a bluish tinge than in typical 
albicerealis; costal yellow portion not so bright and more heavily shaded with 
chocolate brown outwardly; whitish patch at base of veins 2 and 3 distinct; 
dark basal portion of fringe cut with pale ochreous very distinct. Expanse 
27 mm. 
Hasitat. Everglade, Fla. (Apr. 26-30). 4¢, 4 @. Type, Coll. Barnes. 
The larvae were quite common on a shrub with small narrow, 
very fleshy leaves, called by the natives “Florida Cranberry”; they 
bear considerable resemblance to those of Tholeria reversalis. As all 
our specimens are very constant in coloration we consider a varietal 
name advisable.
