BULLETIN OF THE BROOKLYN ENT. SOC. 55 



Cat. Californica, W. H. Edw. 



I am inclined to believe that the forms allied to this species want 

 careful revision, and that I am myself responsible for some errors 

 in referring examples to this species which may have belonged 

 to another ; but I hope very soon to have in my possession all 

 the types of the western forms, and will then correct these mis- 

 takes. 



Cat. Walshii, Edw. 



The specimens from Colorado have the primaries of a much lighter 

 and more olivaceous shade than those from Kansas, Texas, and New 

 Mexico, the latter having a blacker tint.* I can, however, discover no 

 other difference. 



Cat. Unijuga, Walk. 



A very small and strongly marked example of this species was 

 sent to me by Prof. Lintner, of Albany, who raised it from a larva 

 found by him near that city. Its expanse of wing is only 2*30 inch, 

 the average size of C. Unijuga being about 3 inches. The gray of 

 the primaries is lighter than usual, and the crimson of the seconda- 

 ries very bright and vivid. 



Cat. Meskei, Grote. 



Whether this form will ultimately prove to be a variety of C. 

 Unijuga, I am unable to tell, but it may always be distinguished by 

 the narrow median band of secondaries terminating in a hook. The 

 type is at present in my possession, and I have seen three other ex- 

 amples, exactly agreeing with it in these characters, so that C. Mes- 

 kei will hold its own as a good variety, if not a species. 



Cat. Beaniana, Grote. 



The type of this is also in my possession, kindly loaned me by 

 Mr. Grote. It is nearer to C. Unijuga than to any other form, and 

 does not in my mind approach C. Briseis, to which Mr. Hulst in his 

 recent catalogue refers it. 



Cat. Rosalinda, n. sp., Hy. Edw. 



A beautiful species taken near Albany by Dr. James S. Bailey, 

 and closely resembling C. Meskei, but differing from it by its smaller 

 size, heavier lines on the primaries, and by having the median band 

 of secondaries of nearly equal width throughout, and wanting the 

 hooked termination so prominent in C. Meskei. If the latter should
