Expanse, 26 to 27 mm. =1.48 to 1.52 inches. 



Habitat. — Brownsville, Texas, -Iiiue 11 (Townsend); San Diego, 

 Texas, Jnue 12 (Scbwarz); Corpus Christi, Texas (Dr. Barnes). 



Three females, two of them from the U. S. National Museum. None 

 of the examples are perfect, but on all of them the characters are well 

 recognizable. The markings are not well written and the only notable 

 feature is the dark shading of the primaries just beyond the reniform, 

 which in one example extends almost to the apex.

97. SYNEDOIDA SUBTERMINA, new species. 



Ground color pale luteous, varying to grayish. Head and thorax 

 immaculate. Palpi with second joiut black at base. Antenna with a 

 rosy flush outwardly. Primaries with costa a little reddish, vestiture 

 smooth and even. Basal line single, black, broken on the cell, con- 

 trasting. Transverse anterior line marked by a black or blackish cos- 

 tal spot, and beyond that reduced to scattered black powderings. 

 Transverse anterior line geminate on the costa, smoky, traceable as a 

 very narrow thread over the cell and then lost. Subterminal line dis- 

 tinct, broad, yellow, a little sinuate, marked by preceding black points 

 and scales. A dusky oblique shade from vein 6 to the apex, A series 

 of more or less obvious terminal dots on the veins. Orbicular wanting. 

 Eeniform blackish, upright, narrow, inner margin straight, outer a 

 little incurved, forming the most prominent feature of the wing. Sec- 

 ondaries whitish at base, darkening to a blackish outer border, the 

 fringes smoky. Beneath pale, reddish ijowdery, all wings with a discal 

 spot. 



Expanse, 35 to 37 mm. = 1.40 to 1.48 inches. 



Habitat. — San Diego County, California. 



Two females in good condition, one of them with a grayish bloom 

 over the luteous ground. The species somewhat resembles Twnio- 

 campa at first sight, and is most nearly allied to the Twniocampa vegeta 

 of Morrison, which is the Cissusa spadix of Cramer. The obvious sub- 

 terminal line, contrasting reniform, and otherwise lost maculation will 

 serve to distinguish this species.

ANTIBLEMMA Hubncr. 



Two species referred to this genus are in our lists: inexacta Walker= 

 canalis Grote, which ranges from New York into the West Indies, and 

 guttula Henry Edwards, so far only recorded from Georgia. The two 

 species are similar, guttula having a very large bluish reniform which 

 gives it at first glance a strikingly different appearance from inexacta; 

 yet the resemblance in other directions is close. Among the specimens 

 that I have been placing with inexacta, I find a series of four examples, 

 male and female, which are uniformly smaller, much darker in ground
