 many ways does this larva more nearly resemble the adult than that 

 of any species whose history is at hand. 



Three new Cochliopods. 



By A. R. Grote. 



Monoleuca Sulfurea, n- s. $ . Eesembles semifascia (G. & li., 

 Am. Lep., Xo. 4, fig. G2), but the forewings have the single upright 

 abbreviated band narrower, straighter, and light sulphur yellow. The 

 band is dentate exteriorly. The entire moth is reddish brown, the 

 forewings brighter and deeper colored. Expanse 27 mil. Enterprise, 

 Fla., May 28, Mr. Schwarz. 



Limacodes fleXUOSa, n- s. This species is light yellowish oeher, 

 smaller and paler than y-inversa, the lines rounded, not straight, 

 joining before costa; the middle oblique line wanting and the outer 

 line faintly continued to internal margin, running inwardly on sub- 

 median interspace after its outwardly oblique course on the median 

 nervules. The insect is concolorous and expands 20 mil. Xew York.

Limacodes caesonia, w- s. Allied to Jlexuosa ; the color is deeper, 

 more brownish ocherous. The lines are obsolete but the space in- 

 cluded by them is filled with a contrasting fuscous shade, leaving a 

 patch of the color of the wing in the middle, and recalling the 

 ornamentation of the Dog's head butterfly. The darker tint reaches 

 nearly to the costa ; the space occupied is that included between the 

 lines of ^ffexuosa, but in ccesonia the inner margin of the space is 

 more straightly oblique than the inner line in Jlexuosa. The insect 

 is concolorous, darker than its ally and seems a little smaller. New 

 York. Expanse 18 mil. 



Limacodes latomia, Harvey, from Texas, must be closely allied to 

 L. rectilinea G. & R. ; it seems larger with paler secondaries. Grote & 

 Robinson's specimens were from So. Carolina, Zimmermann, their 

 type is in the Berlin Museum. The species are probably identical. 

 Stretch figures rectilinea also from Texas, plate 8, fig. 13, and his 

 species is probably latomia. 



A new Tetralopha. 



By A. R. Grote. 



Tetralopha diluculella, n- s..^ $ ? • Differs from all the described 

 species of this genus — meliiella, rohustella, melanogrammos — by the 

 black basal field of the primaries, the larger wings and encreased
