rax yellow, an orange spot at the base of the antennae; tegulae and 

 collar with orange bands. Anterior wings bright light yellow, with 

 orange yellow markings ; all the veins are strongly marked with 

 orange yellow, and there are, likewise, several longitudinal lines of 

 the same color between them; the ordinary spots are absent; the 

 interior line and median shade are partially obsolete, and are princi- 

 pally represented by orange yellow shades on the costa; the latter 

 however, is seen below it, following parallel with, and a short dis- 

 tance before, the exterior line; the latter is orange yellow, very 

 distinct and even, it is strongly outwardly projected in the middle, 

 and there nearly reaches the outer margin, reducing the subterminal 

 and terminal spaces ; the subterminal line is almost obsolete, the only 

 trace of it is a slight shade near the apex ; an orange yellow line at 

 the base of the yellow fringe. Posterior wings lighter, glossy yellow, 

 the veins are faintly streaked with darker yellow. Beneath glossy 

 yellow, almost immaculate ; there are very faint traces of a common 

 median line, and there is a dark yellow line at the base of the con- 

 colorous fringe. 



Hab. Leavenworth, Kansas. From the collection of Mr. Herman 

 Strecker. 



This fine Chariclea is entirely different from all the known species 

 with which we have compared it in Mr. Strecker's collection. 



Anthoeeia arcifera Guen., Species General, Vol. n, p. 184. 



Anthoecia spraguei G. and R. Proc. Am. Ent. Soc. 



We have seen at various times a number of specimens of this rare 

 and pretty little species. From the examination of this material, as 

 well as that in our collection, we are satisfied that arcifera is simply 

 a female melanotic variety of the ordinary form spraguei. They are 

 the same in every particular except the color of the posterior wings ; 

 in the first they are entirely black, in the second their base is yellow. 

 The males all belong to the latter form, and we have seen at least one 

 female of it; arcifera is, on the contrary, always female. Anthoecia 

 brevis Grote, presents an analogous female variety, in which the pos- 

 terior wings are black, although the usual form has them yellow at 

 the base.
