Lycomorpha pukhra, Dyar, J. N. Y. Ent. Soc. vi. p. 34 (1898). 



Head aud abdomen black ; tegulse, patagia, and thorax above 

 crimson. Fore wing crimson, the inner margin usuallj' narrowly 

 black ; a terminal rather narrow black band extending as a narrow 

 fascia along costa to two-thirds from base. Hind wing crimson, 

 with terminal black baud varying in width and extending nearly to 

 base on inner area. 



Ab. 1. pidclira. Hind wing with the termen and cilia only black.

One specimen has veins 4, 5 of fore wing stalked. Prof. Dyar 

 writes to me that many of the specimens in the U.S. Museum have 

 veins 3, 5 of hind wing stalked; but possibly they have more than 

 one species under the name. Several species of this and the allied 

 genera, as well as certain Arcliadce and Zygcenidce, so closely re- 

 semble each other that they are hardly distinguishable except by 

 neuration. 



*1153. Lycomorpha fulgens. (Plate XVII. fig. 11.)
