  notes 
  on 
  

  

  surface 
  of 
  the 
  hind 
  wings, 
  and 
  to 
  a 
  less 
  extent 
  over 
  the 
  

   under 
  surface 
  of 
  the 
  primaries. 
  

  

  Prodenia 
  littoralis. 
  

   Common, 
  but 
  similar 
  to 
  the 
  usual 
  form. 
  

  

  Phlogopliora 
  ijericulosa 
  and 
  var. 
  hrunnea. 
  

  

  This 
  very 
  variable 
  North 
  American 
  insect 
  is 
  not 
  un- 
  

   common, 
  and 
  varies 
  in 
  like 
  manner 
  to 
  the 
  American 
  

   specimens 
  ; 
  there 
  are 
  two 
  of 
  the 
  dark 
  variety 
  hrunnea. 
  

  

  Phlogophora 
  Wollastoni, 
  n. 
  sp. 
  

  

  Primaries 
  brownisli 
  pink, 
  with 
  the 
  posterior 
  margin 
  darkly 
  and 
  

   broadly 
  edged, 
  the 
  apical 
  half 
  of 
  which 
  is 
  dusted 
  with 
  fine 
  lustrous 
  

   greyish 
  scales, 
  as 
  also 
  is 
  the 
  costa 
  from 
  the 
  upper 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  discal 
  

   cell. 
  The 
  orbicular 
  and 
  reniform 
  stigma 
  are 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  some- 
  

   what 
  greyish 
  colour 
  ; 
  in 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  posterior 
  half 
  of 
  the 
  

   latter 
  is 
  an 
  ochreous 
  patch 
  ; 
  from 
  the 
  lower 
  edge 
  of 
  this 
  stigma, 
  and, 
  

   as 
  it 
  were, 
  continuing 
  the 
  oblique 
  posterior 
  margin 
  thereof, 
  is 
  a 
  

   broadish 
  stripe 
  of 
  dark 
  reddish 
  grey 
  extending 
  to 
  the 
  inner 
  mar- 
  

   gin 
  ; 
  beyond 
  this 
  are 
  three 
  indistinct 
  spotted 
  fine 
  lines 
  of 
  grejdsh 
  

   shading, 
  the 
  first 
  of 
  which 
  is 
  only 
  visible 
  for 
  its 
  lower 
  half, 
  the 
  

   second 
  extends 
  obliquely 
  from 
  near 
  the 
  apex 
  to 
  the 
  inner 
  margin 
  ; 
  

   these 
  are 
  followed 
  by 
  a 
  paler 
  stripe 
  of 
  the 
  ground 
  coloiu", 
  which 
  has 
  

   a 
  double 
  border 
  of 
  reddish 
  brown 
  and 
  pale 
  ochreous, 
  which 
  ochreous 
  

   line 
  toiTches 
  the 
  lustrous 
  grey 
  marginal 
  edge. 
  iVbout 
  midway 
  

   between 
  the 
  base 
  and 
  the 
  orbicular 
  stigma 
  is 
  a 
  grey 
  transverse 
  line 
  

   extending 
  from 
  the 
  costa 
  to 
  the 
  inner 
  margin. 
  Fringes 
  brownish 
  

   pink, 
  with 
  a 
  pale 
  edging, 
  and 
  scalloped 
  as 
  usual, 
  but 
  not 
  hollowed 
  

   out 
  internally 
  by 
  the 
  anal 
  angle. 
  Secondaries 
  pinkish 
  gi'ey, 
  with 
  

   a 
  narrow 
  greyish 
  margin, 
  followed 
  by 
  a 
  broad 
  band 
  of 
  paler 
  pinkish 
  

   to 
  near 
  the 
  centre, 
  from 
  whence 
  the 
  colour 
  becomes 
  gi'eyer 
  to 
  the 
  

   inner 
  margin. 
  The 
  upper 
  margin 
  is 
  pale 
  ochreous 
  for 
  its 
  first 
  two- 
  

   thirds, 
  beyond 
  which 
  it 
  assumes 
  a 
  pinkish 
  hue. 
  Thorax 
  and 
  abdo- 
  

   men 
  as 
  primaries 
  and 
  secondaries 
  respectively. 
  Antennae 
  slightly 
  

   pubescent. 
  

  

  This 
  very 
  pretty 
  insect 
  approaches 
  nearest 
  io 
  perk 
  ulosa, 
  

   but 
  can 
  be 
  at 
  once 
  separated 
  by 
  its 
  very 
  uniform 
  pinkish 
  

   hue, 
  and 
  by 
  the 
  entire 
  absence 
  of 
  any 
  darker 
  central 
  

   area. 
  

  

  Only 
  one 
  fine 
  specimen 
  was 
  taken 
  at 
  S. 
  Antonio 
  de 
  

   Serra, 
  which 
  measures 
  nearlj^ 
  50 
  mm.
