consider it specifically distinct. Compared with latipes the interior 

 line does not terminate on the inner margin in a black spot ; there 

 is no additional spot beneath the reniform ; the median lines are not 

 parallel, and are accompanied by lighter shade lines. The four spec- 

 imens taken exhibit no variation among themselves.

It will be noticed that M. Guenee gives two descriptions of this 

 species, referring in both cases to figures 443 and 444 of Hubner's 

 " Zutraege." We think it probable that he intended only one species, 

 although in one instance the name is spelled fascicularis. The spe- 

 cies is very widely distributed, occurring in Brazil, Central America, 

 Mexico, and the Antilles, as well as Texas, and everywhere appears 

 to be common. We have seen specimens ourselves from Guatemala 

 and Mexico. The Texan specimens are very variable ; in several of 

 them the basal space is black instead of gray, and the subterminal 

 line also varies in distinctness. Grote and Robinson's figure rep- 

 resents the typical form from that locality. 



14. Syneda deducta nov. sp. 

 Expanse 30 mm. Length of body 1 6 mm. 



Palpi long, thin, and falcate, forming a peak above the head ; the 

 third joint is not visibly separated from the second. Thorax and 

 abdomen untufted, smooth and concolorous. Ground color of the 

 anterior wings gray ; in the basal space a broad black band, obsolete 

 at the costa an d bounded outwardly by the interior line ; the exterior 

 line limits the anterior gray portion of the wings ; it is black, de- 

 pressed opposite the cell, then forming an outward, rounded projec- 

 tion, below which it is strongly drawn in ; it then extends in a gentle- 

 outward curve to the inner margin ; this latter portion of the line 

 is preceded by an olivaceous brown shade, which reaches the reni- 

 form spot ; the latter is black-encircled, filled by a bluish shade, 

 which extends along the costa and descends beyond the exterior line 

 as a bluish line ; beyond the reniform the extradiscal spot (contained 

 in the lobe of the exterior line) is light gray and contrasting ; the 

 subterminal space is dark, marked only by the bluish line before 

 mentioned ; the subterminal line is irregular and well defined, fol- 

 lowed by a narrow yellow-brown shade ; terminal space gray. Pos- 

 terior wings gray, with a black terminal border, attenuate towards 

 the anal angle. This border contains a large, central, yellow lunule; 

 fringe white. Beneath white. On the anterior wings an oblique,
