Under side. Usual bands, the lighter ones of primaries being largely suf- 
fused with orange, and the same color occupies nearly two-thirds of the sec- 
ondaries. 
Expanse of wings, 2.50 inch. j', 3.05 inch. P. 
Napa and Marin Counties, Cal. Vancouver Island. (Coll. Dr. Behr. H. 
Strecker. Hy. Edw.) 
This species very closely resembles both C. Ilia and C. innubens of the At- 
lantic States, but differs very materially from both in the pale color of the 
secondaries and by the more deeply toothed marginal band. The shading of 
the primaries very nearly approaches that of Jlia, but the lines are clearer, 
and more decidedly mottled with white. 
It will thus be seen how very smallis our present list of Catocale, compared 
with those of the Atlantic States, and yet, as the plants on which the cater- 
pillars feed, viz., oaks, willows and poplars, are common throughout the 
State, we might reasonably look for an abundant harvest of species. Perhaps 
more collectors in the field, and a determined and energetic search for them in 
their haunts, will yield us a larger number of these beautiful moths, which 
at present, not alone in species, but also in individuals, may be ranked among 
the greatest of our entomological rarities. The following are noticed in this 
paper, the names of those which I have described as new having been derived 
from the heroines of Shakespeare’s plays:
