Family ARCTIIDAE. 

 Zatrephes cardytera, new species. (Fig. 41, No. 2.) 



Head and thorax clay-colored, finely irrorate with red- 

 brown ; abdomen with a dull red patch in the middle. Fore wing 

 broad, with a prominent rounded angle on the outer margin at 

 veins 4-6. Clay-colored, irrorated with red specks toward the 

 base and olivaceous ones outwardly. A series of rounded hya- 

 line spots between the veins from vein 3 to the subcosta; the 

 three lower ones are confluent, the upper of the three shorter 

 than the others and just at its end is the fourth spot, between 

 veins 6-7 ; above the base of this last is a small spot. A brown 

 cloud occupies the space between the larger hyaline spots and the 

 margin. An olivaceous spot on the inner margin indicates an 

 inner transverse band, which is continued in the cell to costa ; an 

 olivaceous costal mark at the outer third. Fringe narrowly 

 white below the marginal protrusion. Hind wing ochraceous- 

 crimson except along the costal margin, where it is clay-colored. 

 Beneath clay-colored, the hyaline marks of the fore wing re- 

 peated. Expanse, 33 mm.

Zaevius calocore, new species. (Fig. 41, No. 3.)
