 tions to Science has been greatly delayed, and as I wish to distribute 

 this catalogue, so long withheld, I have giyen a biief description of the 

 new species mentioned, referring the reader to the yolume of Contribu- 

 tions, mention ed in the Introduction, foi further descriptions and fig- 

 ures.

 lim,s v. floridans, but differs in having narrower black bandings be-

 Types, male and female in my collection.
