1873.] 23 [Packard. 



margin of the fore wing is almost wholly black, with a short vein of 

 whitish green spots. 



Melanippe Kodiakata n. sp. 19. 



A little smaller than, but closely allied to, M. concordata Walk. from 

 New England. Body and wings blackish, body whitish beneath. 

 Fore wings blackish on basal half, with greyish scales, and a zigzag 

 line just before the black discal mark. Just beyond the discal dot a 

 broad whitish band, wider on costal than on inner edge, diffuse 

 externally; on the inside scalloped, and slightly excavated on the 

 median vein, but not so much so as in M. concordata. Beyond this 

 band are two obscure pale wavy lines, the outer ending on the costa, 

 close to the apex (these are wanting in M. concordata} . Edge of 

 wing with a narrower black line ; fringe paler than in the other spe- 

 cies, checkered with black. Hind wings with a broad white band, 

 obscure on the hind edge, and angulated outwards just below the 

 middle of the wing. Beneath both wings white, with wide black 

 borders, but white at base, with a basal blackish shade; an outer 

 blackish band enclosing the darker large distinct oval discal dot, and 

 below this angulated outwards. Hind wings white, with a broad 

 black border, and a narrow dark line just beyond the distinct black 

 discal dot, which is much smaller than that on primaries. Legs 

 blackish, ringed with white. 



Length of body .37, of fore wing .52 inch. Kodiakls., Alaska 

 (Edwards). 



A smaller species than M. concordata Walk., from Hudson's Bay 

 and New England; it differs in the white band on the primaries 

 being much straighter on the inner edge, as it is much less excavated, 

 and in having two greyish lines beyond, while the hind wings have a 

 broad white band, where in M. concordata they are entirely black. 



Cleora umbrosaria n. sp. l d". 



Body and wings ash colored, or pepper and salt; vertex of head 

 pale ash. Fore wings crossed by two scalloped lines, the scallops 

 rounded, not pointed; the basal line straight from the costa to the 

 median vein, thence curved inwards to the inner edge of the wing ; 

 outer line begins on the outer quarter of costa, and follows a nearly 

 straight course to outer third of inner edge, there being no great 

 curve above the third median venule, as in C. pulchraria Minot and 

 pellucidaria Pack. , of the Eastern States. Discal dot black. Hind 

 wings in my single specimen without any line; the wing is speckled 

 with dark gray on the outer third. Beneath, the wings are uniform
