front, the third elongate and comparatively stout. The hind wings are 

 rounded, not white in the disc, but wholly brown, shaded transversely, dis- 

 tantly recalling the genera allied to Homoptera. 



Eiibolina impnrtialis, n. s. 



The terminal palpal joints are a little longer than usual, subspatulate. 

 Rather stout bodied. Median lines brown, of the usual shape, but lunulate, 

 not even. Median space whitish, shaded lightly with blackish on costa. The 

 narrow median shade line is irregular and continued, thread-like, dentate. A 

 minute point for the orbicular. Reniform upright, narrow, black-ringed. 

 The subterminal line is preceded by a blackish shading. Terminal space shaded 

 with pale brown inferiorly. Terminal festooned line evident. Hind wings 

 wholly brownish fuscous with faint indications of outer parallel rivulous 

 shade lines. Beneath the hind wings are whitish, with minute dot and outer 

 narrow lunulate fuscous line ; a subterminal line indicated before the margin. 

 Fore wings with the costa whitish, else pale testaceous, with discal mark ; 

 traces of a median arcuate line on costa, and a subterminal shade line faintly 

 continuous. Body white beneath.

Stictoptera divaricata, Grote. 



A fresh Texan specimevi is more purely 1)lackisli, tlie thoracic 

 crests and lateral abdominal hairs remaining ferruginous, than Mr. 

 Grote's type from Wisconsin. The fore wings are white flecked on 

 the disc and on internal margin about the t. p. line. The apical 

 white lunule inaugurating the subterminal line is distinct. The 

 under side is as in the type. Dec. 3d (Belfrage). 



Catocala Belfragiana, n. s. 



Palpi brown, third article short, antennae simple. The thorax hoary gray. 

 The abdomen pale brownish yellow, beneath the thorax and abdomen grayish. 

 The primaries concolorous with the thorax. On the costa are indications of 

 the lines, else obliterate. The outer half of the wing is a few shades darker 

 than the inner half, having somewhat of a silky lustre. Fringes concolorous. 

 Beneath the wing is of a pale lemon yellow ; a median black band is con- 

 stricted at the inner margin. The terminal band is black, broad, anteriorly 

 concave, nearly approaching the median band on the costa. 



The secondaries are of a deep yellow ; the terminal band is blackish, broad, 

 constricted before the angle, and forming a nearly disconnected spot. The
