A new GLUPHISIA from the Pacific coast. 



By Harrison G. Dyar. 



Glnphisia qninqnelinea n. sp. c^. — Head and thorax dark gray without 

 marks. Abdomen and legs paler gray; fore wings even gray, not quite 

 as dark as thorax, black and whitish scales and hairs mixed, not anywhere 

 distinctly irrorate. A space at the base between median and internal 

 veins, for a short distance on both sides of the basal line, as well as the 

 lower half of median space is shaded with an obscure flesh-colored tint. 

 Basal line black, starting on costa 2 mm. from base, strongly inwardly 

 dentate on subcostal, thence proceeding straight towards internal margin, 

 slightly widened and marked with a few bluish metallic scales on subme- 

 dian fold, but ending at internal vein; transverse anterior line black, 

 rather broad, nearly straight from costa to internal margin, arcuated in- 

 wards a little across internal vem; median line blackish, rather obscure, 

 parallel with t. a. line slightly undulate and diffuse centrally; transverse 

 posterior line black, nearly straight from costa to internal margin, slightly 

 undulate and inwardly produced on submedian fold. It is slightly oblique 

 to the median line, starting from the costa at 2 mm. distance from it, and 

 nearly joining it at internal margin. The t. a. median and t. p. lines are 

 each marked with a few bluish metallic scales in the submedian interspace; 

 subterminal line black, broken by the gray veins, outwardh' arcuate from 

 costa to vein 5 and again from vein 5 to vein 2, then straight to anal an- 

 gle; fringe gray, faintly spotted with blackish. Secondaries pale gray, 

 whitish at base, shading into blackish at anal angle. Below uniform 

 whitish gray, darker on the costa of fore wings. Expanse 31 mm. 



Described from one male, Portland, Oreg. A table to separate 

 the American species of Glnphisia will appear later in " Psyche." 



A Local List of the Genus CATOCALA. 



By Geo. A. Ehrman, Pittsburg, Pa. 



The genus Catocala is well represented in western Pennsylvania 

 as the following list will show. I have taken all the species and 

 varieties quoted, during the last twelve years of my entomological 

 labors. Prof. John B. Smith has listed .seventy- eight species 

 apart from the varieties that are found in Boreal America. Of 

 his lisr I have takeii thirty-two species in Allegheny County, Pa., 

 not mentioning numberless variations.
