(23) Theda dyiie Edwards, Plate LXXXVII, Fig. 4, d" 

 (Clytie). 



The upper side of this pretty little insect is well delineated 

 in our figure. On the lower side the wings are white, with the 

 usual marginal and transverse markings quite small and faint. 

 Expanse .90 inch. The species occurs in Texas, Arizona, and 

 northern Mexico. 



GENUS FENISECA GROTE (THE HARVESTER) 



Small, bright orange-yellow on the upper side, the costal and 

 outer margin of the fore wings and the basal half of the hind 

 wings dark brown. On the under side more or less mottled 

 with gray and brown, the markings of the upper side reappear- 

 ing. Egg sub-globular, much wider than high, marked with a 

 multitude of fine and indistinct raised ridges disposed in the 

 form of polygonal cells. Caterpillar slug-shaped, covered with 

 bristling spines, upon which it gathers the scales of the mealy 

 bugs upon which it feeds. Chrysalis brown in color, showing 

 a remarkable likeness to the face of a monkey, a phenomenon 

 which also appears in the case of its allies of the genus Spalgis 

 found in Africa and Asia, as the writer has pointed out. 



Only one species of the genus is known.
