 proximate, a tinge of black about the base of each , occiput slightly tinged

 the base of the wing; the pro-thoracic pleurae are sparsely punctured and 

 near the anterior coxae are striated. Abdomen dark rufous shading into 

 black at the tip, the second segment bearing a few scattered hairs at the 

 side. Wings hyaline, nervures distinct, but without smoky margins, ra-

THREE NEW SPECIES OF PAMPHILA. 



By Dr. Henry Skinner, Phila., Pa. 



Some weeks ago while on a visit to Reading, Pa., and looking 

 over the Hesperidae in the wonderful collection of Lepidoptera 

 belonging to Dr. H. Strecker, I found these three new species, 

 and was kindly allowed to take them home with me for study and 

 description: 



Pamphila streckeri n. sp. rf . — Expanse 1.25 inches. This is a yellow 

 fulvous species with a narrow dark brown border to all wings. Pri- 

 maries : yellow-fulvous, except the dark border, which is about one- 

 eighth of an inch in width. The stigma is a long, narrow, black line, ex- 

 tending from median nervure to submedian nervure, crossing obliquely 

 two nerve spaces; at the end of cell there is a distinct, black, V-shaped 

 mark, composed of two lines with the point toward tip of wing. Secon- 

 daries: these are yellow-fulvous, with a dark border similar to primaries, 

 except that on primaries there is no fuscous on costa, except at tip, 

 whereas in secondaries the dark border extends all around and widens 

 toward base of wings. The border on exterior margm of secondaries is 

 narrower than on primaries, and the yellow-fulvous of central are;, of 

 wing runs into it in marked indentations, there being four well-defined 

 teeth. Fringes to all wings yellow-fulvous. Underside: primaries same 

 as above, excepting that there is the usual dark basal mark; The border is 

 same width as above, but lighter in color, and the yellow veins run 

 through it giving the fuscous a dentate appearance; and the yellow-fulvous
