Morrison.] 122 [June 16, 



subterminal line faint, but preceded just below the costa by several 

 conspicuous, partially united, black cuneiform markings; a series of 

 dots at the base of the concolorous fringe. Posterior wings white at 

 the base, with a diffuse, broad, blackish border. Beneath the anterior 

 wings are blackish gray, with discal dots and a double exterior line; 

 the posterior wings are lighter gray, with small distinct discal dots, 

 a well marked median line and a large black spot at the costal angle. 

 Second joint of the palpi black and contrasting. 



Hab. New Jersey. Received from Mr. W. V. Andrews, of Brook- 

 lyn, N. Y. 



This species has the size, markings, palpal and abdominal struc- 

 ture and general appearance of the larger and stouter species of 

 Caradrina, as C. alsines and C. taraxaci ; it differs from them, how- 

 ever, in the villosity of the thorax and front, which in our species is 

 mingled with scales, and therefore coarser. Perhaps this is ground 

 enough for a generic separation, and if so, it can be made when other 

 and better specimens have been discovered. At present the species 

 appears to be very rare. 



Cucullia lima nov. sp. 



Expanse, 46 mm. Length of body, 21 mm. 



The entire upper and under surface of the wings, the thorax, head, 

 front, palpi and abdomen, of this lovely species, are glancing silvery 

 white, as in the longitudinal space on the anterior wings of the 

 Siberian Cucullia argentina Fabr. 



The only traces to be seen of any other color appear as follows: 

 on the inner margin of the anterior wings there are two small, dis- 

 tinct, black spots about seven millimeters apart; on the middle of the 

 wings, a little further up, there are two similar but smaller dots, one 

 above the junction of the median vein and fourth median veinlet; 

 there is also another black spot on the costa at the base. The femora 

 and tibias are white, but the tarsi are darker, and become nearly 

 black at their termination. The usual hood is to be seen, but not 

 quite so prominent as in many species. 



Hab. Banks of the Yellowstone River, Dakota. 



This superb species is from the collection of Mr. Herman Strecker. 



Chariclea pretiosa nov. sp. 



Expanse, 30 mm. Length of body, 13 mm. 



Eyes naked. The anterior tibiae in this specimen are absent, so 

 that we can not observe whether they are armed or not. Front with 

 a projecting tubercle, as in Chariclea delphinii Linn. Head and tho-
