2. Fore wings purple = carteri, Wlsm. 



B. Fore wings 3-spotted = Icetissima, Z. 



C. Fore wings with two spots and a streak.

" Alls anterioribus brunneis ; posterioribus supra fuscescentibus, 

 subtus puniceis, ciliis circa apicem fuscis, ceteris puniceis ; abdomine 

 coccineo, macula baseos dorsali segmentoque anali fuscis ((J ?). 



" Var. 6, ut a, sed colore flavissimo pro puniceo coccineoque (? . 



" Quae hie sub Eretmocera enumero quatuor nomina, utrum ad 

 species diversas vere pertineant an varietates solum unius speciei 

 denotent, persuasum mihi non est. Insectis his eadem omnibus 

 structura, nee differunt fere nisi pictura. Quum vero E. IcetissimcB 

 specimina quatuor inter se simillime maculata, saltern in alis, 

 comparem, consultius esse opinatus sum, in picturae differentia 



■•• fuscipennis, Z., is now restricted to the red form (var. a) ; the 

 yellow form (var. b) = derogatella, "Wlk.
