Several examples. Texas. G. W. Belfrage. 



Limacodes parallela n. sji. 



Allietl to L. Y-lnversa Pack., but a very much smaller insect, smaller indeed 

 than L. rectiUnea. Ochreous, the upper wings darker than the lower. The orna- 

 mentation is similar to that of i. Y-inversa, but the second stripe of darker shade is 

 quite straight and runs parallel with the first band, throwing the oblique subapical 

 stripe which forms the short arm of the Y to a point considerably nearer the apex 

 than in the allied species. With the exception of the brown stripes the entire insect 

 is ochreous above and below.

Monoleuca obliqua n. sp. 



Size of M. sulphurea, paler in color, with the white mark on internal margin 

 quite oblique and directed from about 5 mm. from base of the wing immediately 

 towards the apex. It is slightly waved, and is clear white. Lower wings paler than 

 ihe upper.

Ichthyura luculenta n. sp. 



Closely allied to /. strigosa Gr. and at first it may be mistaken for it. It is 

 liovvever a little smaller, and of a paler gray color over the whole surface. The 

 thorax is wholly gray, wanting the usual brown longitudinal band, this being repre- 

 sented by a brown shade lietween the antennae. Abdomen, legs, palpi, and shaft of 

 the antennae silvery gray. The lines are more strongly bordered with while than in 

 any other of the species, the basal portion so much so as to leave the lines almost 

 obsolete. The first or basal line starts from a whitish blotch a little above the median 

 nerve, and is not dislocated as in other species. It is waved anteriorly, and bends 

 abruptly outwardly before reaching the internal margin. The second line is very 

 oblique, reaching the internal angle farther posteriorly than in /. strigosa. It is 

 bordered outwardly by a brown shade. The third line leaves the second on the sub- 

 median nervule, and is rather deeply notched before touching the internal margin. 

 The fourth line is almost straight in its direction, starting from the usual white da^h 

 on the costa, (which is, however, very indistinct) and is much waved ihroughcmt.- 

 There is a fawn colored shade behind its apical portion, but no trace of red scales. 

 The margin is white, and the fringe grayish brown, cut with white at the nervules. 

 The lower wings are smoky drab, palest along the abdominal margin, and with no 

 median band. Beneath smoky-drab, darkest along costa of the primaries, which 

 have a faintly defined paler band. Expanse of wings 28 mm. 2 \. Whitings.

 Ichthyura jocosa, n. sp. 



Wholly dark fawn drab, the lines all indistinct, tiie basal being quite obsolete for 

 its costal half. Second line nearly even in its course, reaching the internal margin 

 considerably before the internal angle. It is shaded behind with reddish brown. 

 Third line leaves the second very much below the median nerve and curves abruptly 

 as it touches the internal margin. I'ourth line visible on costa, then lost in a chest- 

 nut colored cloud, then very slightly sinuate towards the internal margin. There is
