PSYCHE. 



375 



8. >S. leugalea, sp. nov. £ . Very near 5. 

 constricta, Butl., from which it may be dis- 

 tinguished by its smaller size, and the more 

 pointed apices of the primaries, which are 

 tipped with white. Otherwise it corresponds 

 very nearly to Mr. Butler's species, with the 

 type of which I have compared it. Expanse, 

 25 mm. 



9. 5. elasson, sp. nov. £. The outer 

 margin of the primaries is strongly convex, 

 and the apex is rounded. The basal half of 

 the wing is vitreous. The outer half is black 

 with a subapical series of three large, simple, 

 oval, vitreous spots, the lower one merely 

 separated from the hyaline space enclosed 

 within the cell by the discocellular nervule. 

 The costa and the inner margin are narrowly 

 bordered with black, and the apex is tipped 

 with white. The secondaries have no black 

 border upon the inner margin, but are 

 bordered upon the outer margin with black, 

 broadly at the outer angle and then more 

 narrowly, until the region of the submedian 

 nerve where the black border is produced 

 inwardly at its termination in a strong den- 

 ticulation. The body and other appendages 

 besides the wings are dark brown, almost 

 black, except the tips of the antennae, the 

 front, the patagiae, the inner margins of the 

 femora, the tibiae, the first tarsal joint, the 

 lower edge of the abdomen, and two bands 

 about the abdomen, which are all white. 

 Expanse, 21 mm. 



10. 5. elachista, sp. nov. $ . The prim- 

 aries are marked as those of 5. elasson. The 

 secondaries are solidly black except near the 

 outer angle where there is a round trans- 

 lucent spot, and on the inner margin, where 

 there is a similar spot. The antennae are 

 black. The collar, the thorax, and the abdo- 

 men upon the upper side are black. The 

 front, the inner margins of the coxae and the 

 tibiae, the under side of the abdomen, except 

 the last four segments, and two annular 

 bands surrounding the abdomen, one just 



after the thorax, and the other on the fifth 

 segment from its extremity, are all white. 



$. The female only differs from the male 

 in being larger in size, and having the prim- 

 aries more rounded at the apex. Expanse, 

 $ 18 mm ; $ 20 mm. 



11. S. miserabilis, sp. nov. £. Marked 

 in all respects as 5. elasson, except that the 

 secondaries have the entire margin sur- 

 rounded with a narrow black band, and the 

 primaries are not tipped with white at the 

 apex, as in that species, and the subapical 

 spot is divided into two by the first subcostal 

 nervule. Expanse, 23 mm. 



12. 5. fu?icticincta, sp. nov. $. The 

 wings are marked as in the preceding species, 

 having the uppermost spot of the subapical 

 series divided into two, and the lowermost 

 spot of the three simply separated from the 

 hyaline space of the cell by the discocellular 

 nervule. The abdomen has the segments 

 except the last four edged with white upon 

 the under surface. Upon the fifth and sixth 

 segments, reckoning from the extremity of 

 the body, there are small lateral white spots, 

 and upon the segment next to the thorax 

 there are two similar spots, one on each side, 

 and a third one above upon the middle line 

 of the abdomen. The anal extremity is 

 tipped with orange hairs. Expanse, 25 mm. 



13. 6 1 . leimacis, sp. nov. £. The wings 

 are narrow and produced, and the hyaline 

 spaces which are arranged as in the preced- 

 ing species are compressed and linear. The 

 last spot of the subapical series is separated 

 from the hyaline space in the cell by a mod- 

 erately broad band of black scales. The 

 color of the wings is bluish hyaline with 

 black markings. The apex of the primary is 

 not tipped with white. The antennae are 

 white at the ends, as is also the front. The 

 pectus is pale yellow, and so also the lower 

 side of the abdomen. The patagiae, the 

 inner edge of the coxae and tibiae, the sides.
