  lows 
  : 
  costal 
  region 
  blackish 
  ; 
  apical 
  portion 
  broadly 
  bord- 
  

   ered 
  with, 
  black, 
  continued 
  along 
  the 
  margin 
  to 
  vein 
  2, 
  divid- 
  

   ing 
  at 
  vein 
  3 
  where 
  it 
  runs 
  inward, 
  occupying 
  somewhat 
  the 
  

   place 
  of 
  the 
  median 
  band 
  in 
  Catocala, 
  bending 
  downward 
  to 
  

   the 
  internal 
  angle, 
  whence 
  it 
  runs 
  along 
  the 
  internal 
  margin 
  to 
  

   the 
  base 
  ; 
  within 
  this, 
  resting 
  on 
  the 
  submedian, 
  a 
  broad 
  black 
  

   ray 
  not 
  reaching 
  the 
  band 
  ; 
  a 
  large 
  black 
  cellular 
  spot, 
  con- 
  

   nected 
  in 
  its 
  upper 
  half 
  with 
  the 
  black 
  of 
  the 
  base 
  and 
  costal 
  

   region, 
  but 
  disconnected 
  from 
  the 
  submedian 
  ray. 
  Beneath, 
  

   the 
  black 
  border 
  and 
  its 
  inner 
  continuation 
  are 
  better 
  defined 
  

   and 
  narrower 
  ; 
  the 
  cellular 
  spot 
  is 
  contracted 
  to 
  a 
  narrow 
  

   elongated 
  subquadrangular 
  black 
  spot 
  between 
  veins 
  2 
  and 
  8; 
  

   the 
  submedian 
  ray 
  is 
  wanting 
  ; 
  costal 
  region 
  of 
  both 
  wings 
  

   dotted 
  with 
  black. 
  The 
  under 
  surface 
  of 
  the 
  primaries 
  is 
  

   yellow, 
  with 
  a 
  broad 
  black 
  straight 
  band 
  extending 
  from 
  below 
  

   the 
  costa 
  to 
  the 
  submedian 
  interspace, 
  and 
  another 
  -of 
  the 
  

   same 
  length 
  and 
  of 
  nearly 
  twice 
  the 
  breadth, 
  lying 
  in 
  the 
  

   outer 
  third 
  of 
  the 
  wing, 
  slightly 
  indented 
  on 
  vein 
  5 
  ; 
  apex 
  and 
  

   margin 
  beyond 
  this 
  band, 
  fuscous 
  ; 
  costa 
  slightly 
  striated 
  

   with 
  black. 
  

  

  This 
  species 
  resembles 
  H. 
  filicornis 
  Guenee, 
  from 
  Honduras, 
  

   from 
  which 
  it 
  is 
  separable 
  by 
  its 
  larger 
  size, 
  its 
  non- 
  striated 
  

   primaries, 
  etc. 
  In 
  its 
  antennal 
  structure, 
  it 
  is 
  similar 
  to 
  H. 
  

   Pierreti 
  Gfuenee, 
  from 
  Hayti. 
  

  

  Expanse 
  of 
  wings,

  of 
  abdomen, 
  .95 
  in. 
  

  

  From 
  1 
  ? 
  , 
  taken 
  at 
  sugar 
  at 
  Center 
  on 
  Oct. 
  15. 
  1877. 
  In 
  the 
  

   Collection 
  of 
  Mr. 
  W. 
  W. 
  Hill. 
  

  

  Soon 
  after 
  the 
  capture 
  of 
  the 
  above, 
  Mr. 
  von 
  Meske 
  received 
  

   from 
  Texas, 
  and 
  has 
  now 
  in 
  his 
  Collection 
  an 
  example, 
  which, 
  

   notwithstanding 
  some 
  differences, 
  should 
  in 
  all 
  probability 
  

   be 
  referred 
  to 
  the 
  above 
  species. 
  It 
  was 
  taken 
  at 
  Bastrop, 
  

   Tex., 
  (X. 
  Lat. 
  30), 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Heiligbrodt, 
  on 
  Sept. 
  2d, 
  in 
  per- 
  

   fect 
  condition. 
  It 
  is 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  sex 
  with 
  the 
  Center 
  specimen 
  

   — 
  a 
  fact 
  deserving 
  special 
  mention, 
  since 
  all 
  the 
  descriptions 
  

   of 
  G-uenee 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  sex 
  is 
  indicated 
  (seven 
  species), 
  were 
  

   drawn 
  from 
  $ 
  's. 
  

  

  Both 
  the 
  rjeniform 
  spot 
  and 
  the 
  transverse 
  lines 
  are 
  present 
  

   in 
  it: 
  the 
  former 
  is 
  conspicuously 
  outlined 
  in 
  black, 
  of 
  an 
  oval 
  

   form, 
  inclosing 
  an 
  oval 
  ring 
  of 
  pale 
  scales, 
  of 
  which 
  the 
  half 
  

   toward 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  wing 
  is 
  more 
  distinct. 
  Transverse 
  lines 
  

   single, 
  brown, 
  toothed 
  : 
  the 
  anterior 
  line 
  moderately 
  toothed, 
  

   its 
  general 
  course 
  nearly 
  'direct 
  across 
  the 
  wing, 
  except 
  as
