outwardly with yellow and carneous. The posteriors are whitish, 

 with scattered black atoms. A very distinct discal dot and an angu- 

 lated median line. 



Hab. Massachusetts. 



A male from my collection captured July 16, 1874. A female from 

 the collection of Mr. F. C. Bowditeb, kindly lent me for determina- 

 tion. The markings in this species are very simple but evident, so 

 that its identification will be easy. 



Glsea sericea nov. sp. 



Expanse 39 mm. Length of body 1 7 mm. 



Thorax and palpi as usual in this genus. The eyes naked, with 

 hairy lashes. The abdomen much flattened, and distinctly edged 

 with red laterally and anally. The anterior wings are rounded at 

 their apices, thus differing from apiata Grote ; in color they are of a 

 uniform silky brown on a cinereous ground. The lines and spots dis- 

 tinct. The half-line present; to it is attached a concolorous, clavi- 

 form, white-edged spot. This spot seems to be nearly always present 

 in this genus, although not mentioned in Mr. Grote's descriptions. I 

 have noticed it in inulta, apiata and viatica. All the nervules are 

 prominently light and contrasting. The lower portion of the basal 

 and median spaces is diffused with dull blackish, as in apiata. The 

 interior line is very oblique, even, and accompanied by a light shade 

 line. The ordinary spots are large, concolorous, and with pale 

 annuli. Reniform spot attenuate below, and not constricted out- 

 wardly. The median shade is diffused and blackish, passing between 

 the spots. The exterior line is shaped as in apiata, followed by a 

 light line. The subterminal line light, preceded by a dark shade. A 

 series of faint black dots at the base of the concolorous fringe. The 

 posterior wings are uniform fuscous, with a faint discal dot. The 

 fringe light, tinged with carneous. Beneath, the costa and exterior 

 margin of the anterior wings are carneous; the rest of the wing dark 

 gray. The posterior wings are lighter, uniformly diffused with car- 

 neous. Both wings possess discal dots and a broad, common, blackish 

 median line. 



Hab. Boston, Mass. From my collection. 



This species is allied to apiata, but the spots are pale instead of 

 encircled with red ; the apices of the anterior wings are rounded, and 

 the ground color is quite different.
