least, in the male (female unknown). I questioned whether 

 E. thermalis might be the female of frederici, but the tine 

 short pile on basal part of third abdominal segment in 

 thermalis is pale greyish ochreous, in frederici it is black. 

 The hind spurs of thermalis and cruets are strongly curved 

 at end, as in frederici. A second specimen of E. crucis 

 comes from San Juan Alleude, Mexico, Nov. 29 (G\ H. T. 

 Townsend). 



Leptergatis globulifera, Cockerell. 



The female, not before known, was taken by M. A. 

 Carriker at Aroa, Venezuela, Dec. 12, 1910. It is much 

 like L. armaia, Sin., but has redder antennae. From the 

 female alone, I should have regarded the insect as a local 

 race of urrnata.
