CACCECIA. 9 



Type ? (fig. 5) : Georgia, from Mr. Milne's collection. Var. ^ (fig. 6) : May 19, 1871, 

 near San Francisco. 



I should have been inclined to follow Prof. Zeller in placing this species in the genus 

 Lo^otcenia, on account of the apex not being produced as in most species of Caccecia ; but it 

 cannot be said to have only a weak costal fold^ " sehr schwachem Umschlage und zuriick- 

 gestrichener Behaarung an demselben,'' which is considered by Heinemann (p. 31) to be 

 characteristic of Lo^otcunia, the fold in this species being very decided. 



The species also occurred about Mendocino in the middle of June, and as far north as 

 Mount Shasta in August. One specimen emerged on the 31st of June from a pupa found a 

 few days previously between united \e&-ves oi jEsculus californica (Nutt,), the Californian 

 horse-chestnut. 



It is widely distributed — Missouri, Ohio, Massachusetts, New York, and Texas being 

 given as localities for it by Zeller and Robinson. 



There are now five males and one female in the collection, besides the two named above.

Palpi projecting nearly the length of the head beyond it, together with the head reddish 

 ochreous, the short apical joint exposed : antennae dull reddish ochreous, pubescent in the 

 male. Fore wings — with appressed costal fold at the base in the male ; the costa rounded 

 towards the base; apex rounded; apical margin convex — bright reddish chestnut, with 

 shining pinkish ochreous bands and mottlings ; a wide basal patch, its external margin out- 

 wardly angulated at the middle, consists of three parallel shining pinkish ochreous fasciae 

 widening in equal gradations from the base ; a rather narrow oblique fascia of the same 

 colour, from the middle of the costa running to the anal angle, is divided about the middle 

 into three separate branches, all reaching the dorsal margin, the first only being narrowly 

 interrupted below the middle (in some varieties these three branches become detached and 

 form separate spots) ; one or more pinkish ochreous streaks cross the apical portion of the 

 wing from the costa to the apical margin : cilia pinkish ochreous. Hind wings brown, with 

 pale ochreous cilia. Type 2 . Expanse of wings 23 millims.

In the above description I have departed from the usual custom in taking the darker 

 shade to be the ground-colour. 



The other North- American specimens, placed by Walker in the genus Cacoecia are as 

 follows : — 



Cacoecia fervidana, Walk., = Lozotania rileyana, Grote. 

 (name preoccupied).
