same color runs very near the external margin, twice bent. The very narrow 

 terminal space again crimson before the pale, yellowish fringes which are faint lv 

 interlined and similar on both wings. Beneath, the wings are crimson, with 

 the secondaries shaded with pale, as also the costal edge of primaries. Legs 

 and under surface of thorax yellow ; abdomen red beneath. JExpcmse, 20 mil. 



Texas, June 13th. Belfrage, No. 740. Colorado. 



This species is probably the Bhodophora volupia of Fitcli, whose 

 description is sufficiently conflicting to prevent certainty. It is not 

 a Bhodophora, and the above determination need not be changed in 

 case Fitch's species proves different. 



Toxocampa Victoiia, Grote, Bull. B. S. N. S., 2, 163, 1874. 



The only described species of the genus in North America. A considerable 

 number of specimens have been taken in Colorado by Mr. Neumoegen. The 

 reniform is variably distinct, and the specimens are generally separable into two 

 varieties. One in which the tone of the primaries is more ochery and the reni- 

 form is black, forming a velvety L behind, and broken into black dots out- 

 wardly ; the strigse on the wings less noticeable. The outer form is colored like 

 the type with the reniform brown. Both forms differ slightly from the type by 

 the sub-terminal shade being evenly inwardly oblique until opposite the cell, 

 without the slight sub-costal sinus. The resemblance is otherwise so great that 

 I am unprepared to admit the idea that the Colorado specimens belong to 

 another species.

Capture of Terias Nicippe on Long Island. 



On August 8th I took, at Glencove, L. I., two specimens of Terias Nieippe, 

 Cramer, one male and one female. My attention was drawn to them by my 

 friend Mr. James Price, who during the week previous had captured about a 

 dozen specimens. This is the third time that I have observed this Southern 

 species on Long Island. The specimens are fresh and well marked, and the 

 females have rather more black on the upper side of secondaries than the major- 

 ity from the Southern States. Fred Tepper.
