72 QROTE & ROBINSON. 



Phragmatobia aseiruilans, Wdlk., ip. 630. The two specimens (a. /;) 

 differ from P. rubricosa and P. fuliginosa, by their greater expanse 

 and differently shaped primaries. These are more produced at apices 

 below which the external margin is sinuate not rounded. We have 

 seen no specimens of this species in any collection in the United 

 States. 



Apantesis radians, Walk., p. 632= $ Arctia nais (Drury) Hiibn. 



The specimen (a, Georgia.) belongs to the common variety with the 

 secondaries roseate (described as Arctia decorata by Wr. Saunders), 

 but the hind wings are dwarfed (as occasionally happens) hence Mr. 

 Walker's expression ; " Hind wings rather broader than the fore wings 

 and hardly two-thirds of the length."

Spilosoma cwi^rMa, Walk., p. 669 (c)r=:9Spil. virginica, (Fab.) 

 Walk. Specimens a and 6 appear to belong to a species distinct from 

 S. virginica which should retain the name proposed by Mr. Walker. 

 Our notes on these two specimens are as follows : " S. congrua ( S ) pri- 

 maries white with sparse brown dots and an S-shaped subterniinal 

 brown line, all incomplete. Abdomen entirely white. Faint discal 

 marks on both wings, wanting in the female. Primaries ( 9 ) with 

 but one or two dots, almost immaculate. Secondaries immaculate in 

 either sex. Inwardly the fore coxae and femora are dark yellow with- 

 out the black spot of S. virginica. All the tarsi and the fore tibiae 

 are inwardly brown. The S has faint discal marks on both wings 

 wanting in $ . This species seems slighter than S. virginica and ap- 

 proaches Hyphantria cunea in the markings of the primaries but is 

 stouter than that species, the palpi and antennae as in Spilosoma." 



Cycnia dubia, Walk., p. 682, belongs to Phragraatobia, Steph. 

 Wings semitranslueent. Brown or mouse color. Veins on both wings 

 whitish above. Eyes margined narrowly with white. Legs shaded 

 with whitish outwardly. Abdomen (greasy in the specimen) with 

 three rows of brown spots.
