Expanse ( $ and £ ), 1-65 to 1.70 inch. Length of body, 0.80 to 

 0.90 inch. 



Habitat.— Atlantic District. (Buffalo, N. Y. !) 



This species is closely allied to H. thy she, G. t& i?., from 

 which it may at once be separated by its smaller size and the 

 non-dentate inner margin of the terminal band of the prima- 

 ries in the male. We have elsewhere drawn attention to the 

 character afforded by the inner margin of the terminal band 

 in H. thysbe ; it is, however, in the males alone that it is 

 prominently dentate on the interspaces. There are several 

 other less striking characteristics which will at once separate 

 IT. buffaloensis from H. thysbe, on a comparison between speci- 

 mens of either sex. From H. gracilis, G. <£• i?., the new spe- 

 cies may be at once distinguished by the longer and narrower 

 primaries, with the discal cell crossed longitudinally by a bar 

 of scales ; by the different color of the legs and under thoracic 

 surface, and by the diaphanous space on the secondaries being 

 crossed, as in H. thysbe, by six nervules. 



Haeinorrhagia buffaloensis has been frequently reared from 

 the larva by collectors in Buffalo, N. Y. We figure a variety 

 of the female, in which the usually wholly vitreous fields of 

 the wings are sparsely and evenly clothed with scales. We 

 have observed a similar variation in specimens of H. thysbe.

$ . Size, large ; form, stout. Head, above, dark olive green. 

 Labial palpi, projected beyond the front, approximate at their tips ;

 lowish white. Legs, generally finely scaled : anterior pair out- 

 wardly clothed with whitish scales ; inwardly, the tegument is 

 almost naked, blackish and dusted with ferruginous atoms. Middle
