tal two-thirds, reaching to near tips of anal appendages. Abdominal seg- 

 ments convex dorsally, ventrally less so ; pleural regions of segments one 

 to eight inclusive produced into conical tubercles, tipped with chitin, each 

 bearing a moderately long, evenly recurved seta. Tubercles limited dor- 

 sally by a longitudinal depression on either side of dorsum, beginning on 

 first segment and terminating on seventh. Ventrally the depressions are 

 less strongly developed. The lateral tubercles on first and second seg- 

 ments each bear a spiracle on their dorsal surface. Ninth segment with- 

 out tubercles, but support two caudal appendages, which are cylindro- 

 conical, each tipped with a long spine, which curves inwards and ventrally. 

 Anal segment terminates in two short contiguous, conical processes, each 

 tipped with chitin. Apical margin of pronotum at either side of middle 

 fifth bears a small chitinous tubercle, each supporting a long double 

 curved corneous spine, both together resembling the sides of a lyre. Pro- 

 notum fringed with a submarginal row of recurved chitinous setae. Dor- 

 sally the posterior borders of segments 5, 6, 7 and 8 fringed with a single 

 row of slender setae, which become advanced on segments 2 and 3, while 

 on the first segment they approach the centre. On metanotum the trans- 

 verse row is interrupted at middle, with a few irregularly placed setae on 

 either side of centre of disc. Central area of mesonotum bears a number 

 of fine erect delicate hairs. 



Described from the pupa of a V taken from beneath an old 

 water-trough in low, damp, marshy ground, at the Preside, 

 San Francisco, California. Collected January i, 1901. 



The pupa was about one-half inch below the surface of the 



ground, in a delicate earthy cell hollowed out in soft light 



loam. Many imagos were about at the time. The drawings 



accompanying this article show all of the characters mentioned 



in this description.

New Lepidoptera from Bolivia. 

 By A. G. Weeks, Jr. 



Hymenitis andreas sp. nov. — Head black, with four white specks on 

 "collar." Also a white speck at each eye and two others at junction of 

 each antennae. Thorax and abdomen above nearly black ; below nearly 

 white. Antennae black. Legs black, grayish underneath. Forewings 

 transparent, with a greenish blue lustre, as is prevalent in species of this 

 genus. The inner marginal area is black. The costa is black, and at end 

 of discoidal space the black extends downwards to a point at lower end 

 of discoidal space, this black triangle being nearly a quarter inch wide on 

 its costal edge. Outside of this is a band of white scales running from 

 costa downwards across end of discoidal space and terminating next to
