This must be smaller than relicina, and differs so entirely from Mr. Morrison's 

 description, that it cannot be supposed the same. 



Heliophila Haryeyi Orote. March 25 ; April 27. 



An interesting variety occurred, in which the costal region is shaded with 

 blackish. 



Heliopliila adjuta Orote. March 3 ; No. 480. 



Both sexes. The female (and not the male) is described by Mr. Grote. The 

 male wants the fuscous shading on the hind wings. The double lines on the 

 collar and the yellow color (like pollens) distinguish this larger species. lu the 

 male the costa is marked at the inception of the t. p. line. 



Heliophila li^ata Orote. March and November. A large number of speci- 

 mens collected. 



Heliopliila phragmitidicola Ouenee. March, and one specimen May 5. 



Heliopliila subpunctata n. s. 



Q . — Much like adonea.hnt differing by the pellucid secondaries which show 

 but a narrow terminal fuscous shading and the more blackish primaries. T. p. 

 line black dotted, subcontinuous superiorly. White dot on the median vein 

 distinct. In appearance there is, perhaps, an unusual similarity of the fore 

 wings to unipuncta. Beneath, the obsolete line is incepted by an unusually 

 strongly marked black spot. Collar and thorax obscure, the former faintly 

 lined. Costal region paler than the rest of the wing, streaked with pale along 

 the veins. A median diffuse blackish shade, spreading from the median vein.

5 . — Size and facies of Pseudortliosia variabilis. Legs unarmed. Eyes naked 

 with lashes. Abdomen untufted. Fore wings dirty ocherous, powdered with 

 dusty scales. Ornamentation faint; blackish spots on costa indicate the incep-
