forming two cells Phyllodesminae.

Gloveria Packard. 

 1872 Pack., Rept. Peab. Acad, iv, p. 89. 



Synopsis of North American Species (females only). 

 Gray; subterminal line distinct. 



Subterminal line sharply and regularly dentate arizonensis. 



Subterminal line undulate, irregular dolores. 



Brown-gray; subterminal line obscure gargamelle. 



D. dolores n. sp. 9 • — Similar to D. arizonensis, but the transverse lines 

 are more obscure, and the subterminal line is roundedly undulate, not 

 dentate, the outer angles of the dentations of arizonensis being lost in 

 this form. In the interspace between veins 3 and 4 there is a larger pro- 

 jection of the line than elsewhere. Male unknown. Habitat, Arizona. 



Mr. Edwards, in describing dentaia (Papilio iv, 107), has re- 

 described the species already characterized by Dr. Packard as 

 arizonefisis, and has left this form without a name. Though 

 closely allied to arizonensis, it has the aspect of a species rather 

 than that of a variety. 



Of these three species, the male of one only is known to us, 

 namely that of D. gargamelle Strecker. It differs markedly from 

 the 9 , and will be found described by Mr. Edwards as ' ' Gloveria 

 arizonensis S" (Papilio iv, 107) as well as in Dr. Strecker's 

 paper (Proc Acad. Nat. Sci. Phil. 1884, p. 286).
