Arctiidae 



(2) Hemihyalea labecula Grote, Plate XIV, Fig. 7, $ . 

 (The Freckled Glassy-wing.) 



This insect is not uncommon in Colorado. It occurs in 

 early summer about Manitou, and among the mountains 

 generally. 



Genus OPHARUS Walker 



An extensive neotropical genus, represented within the limits 

 of the United States by but one species. 



(1) Opharus astur Cramer, Plate XIV, Fig. 5, $ . (The 

 Astur Moth.) 



Syn. albicans, Walker; maculicollis Walker; pustulata Packard. 



The insect is common in Mexico and South America, and 

 occasionally occurs in Arizona. 



Genus CALIDOTA Dyar 



A neotropical genus containing a dozen species or more, two 

 of which are found within our limits. We figure one of these; 

 the other, C. muricolor Dyar, has the wings mouse-gray, 

 semihyaline, the secondaries paler than the primaries. The head 

 is gray in front, yellowish above; the thorax is gray, the 

 collar edged inwardly with ochreous; the abdomen is reddish 

 buff, with a series of black dorsal spots and broad lateral bands 

 of the same color. The pectus and coxae are ochreous, the 

 legs gray. The type of the species came from Arizona. 



(1) Calidota strigosa Walker, Plate XVI, Fig. 24, $ . 

 (The Streaked Calidota.) 



Syn. cubensis Grote; laqueata Henry Edwards. 



This insect occurs in Florida, and is abundant in the 

 Antilles. Its life-history has been described by Dyar in the 

 Proceedings of the United States National Museum, for 1900. 

 p. 268. The food-plant is Gnettarda elliptica. 



Genus EUPSEUDOSOMA Grote 



Three species are attributed by Hampson to this genus, 

 one of which, the type of the genus, we figure. It is the 

 only species of the genus occurring within our territory. 



(1) Eupseudosoma involutum Sepp, Plate XIV, Fig. i,$. 

 (The Snowy Eupseudosoma.) 



Syn. nivea Herrich-Schaeffer; florzdum Grote; immaculata Graef.
