62 SYNOPTIC TABLES OF LEPIDOPTERA. December 1882. ] 
area; both wings crossed beyond disk by a common band of separated 
spots; primaries have five spots in cell, separated by black lines, and sev- ~ 
eral spots at end of area below cell; secondaries have the basal area 
nearly all fulvous, leaving a broad black belt between this and the extra 
discal band; in the cell a subovate black spot with fulvous stripe in mid- 
dle. Under side of primaries has margin bordered by a band of conflu- 
ent crenate spots, and before this is row of small fulvous spots which have 
black central points. Expanse .g5 inch. ; 
Female similar to one of the forms of ‘‘AZ, Palla,” color dull brown, 
the two outer rows of spots on hind wings and all of those on fore wings 
dull yellow, more or less suffused with red; the discal row on hind wings 
yellow-buff. Beneath, fore wings have a vellowish discal band and spots 
in cell; spots silvered asin male. San Antonio, Texas. 
27 M.Perse, W.H.idw. Shape of 17.Dymas. Upper side yellow 
fulvous with black lines; both margins broadly bordered black, on which 
are submarginal fulvous spots, small and irregular in shape on primaries, 
sub-cresent on secondaries; anterior to these a common series of sub-quad- 
rate spots, and another similar, elongated, the two separated by a black 
line on primaries and partially on secondaries; thence to bases of wings — 
fulvous with black recticulations: fringes black, white at tips of the ner- 
vules. Under side of primaries fu'vous, the black markings repeated in- 
distinctly; costal edge white, along hind margin a narrow buff belt, and — 
next a series of yellow-white crescent spots. Secondaries have a similar 
edging to margin, and a series of spots, sometimes small and rounded, 
orange, on a whitish ground, sometimes wholly orange; above these a 
narrow buff belt, a black line anda white band,- bisected with black next 
costal margin; thence to base orange, with a white spot edged black in cell, 
a cross band of four white spots, an orange band, a white band on should- 
er, the tip of the shoulder buff, 
Body above fuscous, the abdomen on sides fulvous, beneath both ab- 
domen and thorax yellow white; legs fulvous, the femora white on under 
side; palpi fulvous, white at base; antennz black, annulated white; club 
black, ferruginous at tip, white beneath. 
Female similar to male, the fulvous more diffused. Under side as in 
male. Expanse of male 1.1 inch, of female 1.3 inch. Arizona. 
The following genus very closely resembles A/e/itea and differs from 
it so far as we can see only in the less produced apex of primaries and 
the somewhat more even costal and internal margin of the same wing; the 
costa having also a very distinct shoulder near the base of the wing,
