This and the following species arc quite different in color from 

 the only European species of the genus I have ( Virens, Linn.). 

 But their generic characters agree exactly Avith those of Luperina, 

 Led., and I have no hesitation in referring them there. 



L. Burgcssi can he distinguished by the white posterior wings, 

 and the hlaek dash connecting the median lines of the anterior 

 wings. The basal submedian line and the jagged subterminal are 

 also good characters. It has a superficial resemblance to Dryohota 

 fibtilnta, from which it can be separated by the absence of bristly 

 eye lashes, the untufted abdomen, and the white posterior wings. 



I take great pleasure in dedicating this new si)ecies to Mr. Edward 

 Burgess, Secretary of the Boston Society of Natural History, a 

 most careful student and naturalist. 



Luceria loctilata (nov. sp.). 



Expanse, 36 m. m. Length of body, 18 m. ni. 



Eyes naked, without bristly lashes. Male antennae setiform, the fringes 

 extremely fine. Thorax dark grayish or carneous brown, the vertex and front 

 almost black. Anterior wings dull carneous grayish brown, with the terminal 

 space and the wings adjoining the nervules, particularly in the median space, 

 dull black, with a slight purple reflection in certain lights. Interior line, sin- 

 gle, subobsolete, dentate, forming two broad teeth between the median and 

 submedian nervures, and the latter and the inner margin. The ordinary spots 

 give the only strongly marked characteristics of the wings ; the orbicular and 

 reniform are concolorous and contained in a shade of the ground color situa- 

 ted between the two blackish shade lines following the subcostal and median 

 nervures. The orbicular varies in shape ; it is sometimes round, again it is
