Described from 4 ¢ specimens (2 unknown) bred, July 20, 1872, at

52. (2) Hlasmus nigripes, n. sp. 
Male.—Length, i.58™™ ; wing expanse, 2.91™; greatest width of fore wing, 0.27™™, 
Differs from #. varius in size and relative width of fore wing. The scutellar spot is 
small and narrow, and is not of so vivid an orange color as in #. varius. The front 
cox are black, femora and tibize earthy yellow, with many black hairs, which on 
the femora obscure the real color; tarsi dusky; middle and hind cox, femora, tibiz 
and tarsi nearly black.

53. (3) Hlasmus albicoxa, n. sp. 
Male.—Length, 2.00™™ (?); wing expanse, 4.28"™; oreatest width of fore wing, 
0.48™™, The specimen from which this description is drawn has lost its abdomen, but 
the other characters are sufficiently marked to found a species. It differs from the 
preceding species in the following points: The front is coarsely and sparsely pune- 
tured, but the punctures are more evenly distributed than in &. varius, extending 
down upon the face. The scutellar spot is broad and includes the tip of the mesoscu- 
tellum as well as the metascutellum. The leg coloration is as follows: Front coxe 
nearly pure white, slightly tinged with brownish just at base ; femora yellowish- white, 
with a longitudinal streak of brown on the dorsal outer side; tibia tinged with 
brown, tarsi dusky; proximal half of dorsal surface of middle and hind coxe shiny 
black, rest white; femora yellowish-white, with a longitudinal blackish streak; tibiz 
whitish, with fine brown longitudinal lines; tarsi nearly black. 
Described from 1 ¢ (2 unknown) found in jar with eggs of Limenitis 
dissippus Godt., at Kirkwood, Mo., 1871 (?). [C. V. R. Coll. 
54. (4) Blasmus pullatus, n. sp. 
Male.—Length, 1.39™™; wing expanse, 3.49™™; greatest width of fore wing, 0.46@™, 
Entire surface of body shining black in color, except the antennal pits and the im-

55. (5) Hlasmus tischerie, n. sp.
