NOTES ON THE SPECIES OF AUTOMERIS FROM 



BOREAL AMERICA, WITH DESCRIPTIONS 



OF TWO NEW RACES 



The recent addition of specimens of A. io race color ad ensis, Ckll., 

 necessitated the rearrangement of the case containing A. io. When 

 this arrangement was completed two undescribed Geographical Races 

 of A. io were found. These will be described in sequence, but it is 

 thought best to place our ideas of the Automeris species and forms in 

 the present paper. Only that part of the bibliography which may 

 prove of interest is given.
