SATURNIA GALBINA. 
105 
Secondaries, discal ocellus same as on primaries, but a little smaller; sub-marginal brown band narrowest 
in the middle. 
Under surface much as above, but the sub-marginal bands have a white, undulate line running through 
them from inner margin to costa. 
The female expands 2f inches, and was evidently the only sex known to Dr. Clemens, as his description, 
which I here append, applies to it and not the male. 
“Antennae luteous. Body and head rather dark brown. Fore wings yellowish-brown, with a rather faint, whitish angulated 
band at the base. On the discal nervure is a round, black ocellus having a central subvitreous streak containing a yellow circle, and 
towards the base of the wing a slender blue crescent. A whitish band crosses the middle of the nervules, with a faint wavy one between 
it and the hind margin. In the apical interspace is a black spot, with a crimson streak to the tip of the wing. The marginal portion 
of the wing is whitish and is tinged in the terminal edge with pale yellowish-brown. Hind wings similar in color and ornamentation 
to the fore wings, the ocelli being somewhat smaller. On the under surface, which is similar in hue to the upper, the faint wavy bands 
of the fore and hind wings are very distinct. 
“ Texas. Collection of Capt. Pope.” 
Though in the above, which is all the author says, there is nothing to indicate which sex was described, nor is the important item 
of size mentioned, still I have no doubt that this is the species alluded to. 
I received six examples, live one 9 > from south-western Texas, on the border of the Bio Grande, but most of them before 
coming into my possession had suffered to such an extent, from the ravages of mites or other insect depredators, as to be utterly worth- 
less. In the Museum of the Department of Agriculture, at Washington, are also examples which, I believe, are from the same locality. 
This species is exceedingly rare, the examples cited being, as far as I am aware, the only ones extant in any collection. As far 
as my knowledge extends, this is the only true Saturnia, Schranck, known to occur in the western hemisphere ; and, though of a somewhat 
slighter form, closely resembles the common European species, especially Spini, Schitf. 
HEP I ALUS THULE. Nov Sp 
(PLATE XII, FIG. 69 .) 
Female. Expands 3 inches. 
Upper surface yellowish-white. Primaries, costa from base to two-thirds its length reddish-brown, 
within which colour, about equidistant from each other, are three PI shaped yellowish-white marks; the brown 
colour of costa extends into the discal space, at its base there enclosing two small silver spots, the one nearest 
the costa being the largest ; directly beyond the outer extremity of the discal space, the brownish colour also 
extends the same distance, likewise enclosing two closely-connected silver spots; two sub-marginal bands com- 
posed of rather small, reddish-brown spots, the innermost extending from near inner angle to costa near the apex, 
the other not reaching to the costa, but connected with the first at the last sub-costal nervule ; half way be- 
tween the innermost sub-marginal band and the brownish costal space is a brown line extending from costa 
inwards as far as where the sub-marginal bands connect; a marginal row of small brown spots; on inner 
margin, near the termination of the sub-median nervure, is a small brown spot. 
Secondaries tinged with reddish on the costa, and very slightly so on cillise of exterior and abdominal 
margins ; otherwise immaculate. 
Under surface same colour as above, with the markings faintly repeated. 
From a single female sent me from Montreal, Canada, by my excellent entomological friend, Mr. F. B. 
Caulfield, who stated that it was captured in a park in that city. 
It is the only example of this grand insect I have ever seen or heard of, and is so far probably unique. 
NOTES ON VARIOUS SPECIES AND VARIETIES. 
Lyc.ena Begia, Boisduval, Lep. C'al., p. 46 (1869), is Lycizna Sonurensis, Felder, Beise Nov., Lep. II, p. 281, T. 35, f. 3, 4 (1865). 
Lyc/kna Bhjea, Boisduval, Lep. Cal., p. 51 (1869), is a synonym of Lyccena Catalina, Beakirt, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc. Phila., 
p. 244 (1866). 
Catocala Levettei, Grote, in advance sheets of Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. (under date of September, 1874), is identical with 
C. Judith, p. 96, T. XI, f. 5, in this work (printed August, 1874). 
Catocala Anna, Grote, 1. c., is Catocala Amestris, 1. c. 
Catocala Adoptina, Grote, 1. c., is Catocala Delilah, 1. c. 
Gorgopis Qudriguttatus, Grote, Proc. Ent. Soc. Phila., Vol. Ill, p. 73, T. I, f. 6 (1864), appears to be, and I am of the opinion 
undoubtedly is, the same as Harris’ species, Argenteo-maculatus, Cat. Ins. Mass., p. 72 (1835), to which species, Grote says in his descrip- 
tion of the former, it is allied, and he further adds, “ the disposition of the median bands on the anterior wings is somewhat different, 
and they are not so largely tinged with ochraceous, the two white spots are much smaller and the apex apparently not so falcate, while 
the coloration of abdomen, metathorax and posterior wings, readily distinguishes the present from Harris’ species.”
