NEW SPECIES, VARIETIES, Ac. 
Eudryas Wilsonii, Grote, ( Ciris W.) Proc. Ent. Soc. Phil. II, p. 65, t. 3, (1863). This beautiful species has hitherto only 
been known by two examples, one in Mus. Comp. Zool. at Cambridge and the other, from which the original description and figure 
were made, in Mus. Am. Ent. Soc. Phila. It differs remarkably from the other species in having pectinated antennae. 
Heliothis Lanul, n. sp. Expands 1 T \ inches. Head and body white lightly tinged with sienna or rust brown at basal part 
of thorax and tips of patagiae. Upper surface ; primaries white and not very dark rust brown; the basal third is at and near base 
brown, then white with scattered brown points, then comes a line which extends from costa to inner margin as in Rivulosa, Regia, etc., 
but not as much bent as in these species ; this line is succeeded by the median space which is brown and encloses two conspicuous white spots, 
the largest is in the discoidal cell, the other half way between it and the inner margin ; the largest of these white spots is joined exte- 
riorly by a metallic lead coloured discal spot ; the outer edge of the median space, which is very much produced opposite the discal 
spot, is succeeded by a white line edged outwardly with brown, beyond this is again white, then an irregular jagged line of brown edged 
outwardly with white; this is succeeded by the marginal band of brown with a row of minute black spots. Fringe white with brown 
points at tips of veins. Secondaries silky white with a very faint brownish submarginal band. Fringe long and white. Under sur- 
face white with markings of primaries in a manner somewhat faintly repeated on costal and exterior parts. 
Heeiothis Gloriosa, n. sp. Expands If inches. Head and body above white with pale olivaceous shades; beneath white. 
Antennae and legs white. Upper surface; primaries dull purplish red and olivaceous, neither of these colours intense, marked some- 
what after the manner of Rivulosa and allies. The basal third of wing is purplish and is separated from the median space by a pure 
white line which widens at the veins thus forming teeth ; the median space is olivaceous and encloses a purplish discal spot which 
latter is prolonged outwardly to and beyond another white toothed line which separates the median from the outer space ; the latter is 
purplish interiorly and olivaceous marginally, the latter colour is more or less at the nervules encroached on by the purple. Fringe 
light and dark olivaceous. Secondaries dirty white; a faint discal mark; marginal third of wing broadly shaded with brownish. 
Fringe white with brown at veins. Undersurface; primaries shining white ; fuscous discal spot; a pale crimson shade near apex; 
a broad fuscous submarginal band. Fringe fuscous and white. Secondaries silky white, a very faint discal mark; a slight pale 
crimson tint at apex; fringe white with fuscous at nervules, which latter colour does not extend to the terminations thereof. By far 
the largest, and with the exception of Regia the most beautiful of that group of which Rivulosa is the type. 
Eudryas Gloverii, Grot e (Euscirrhopterus G.). Larva. Length R inches. Same form as Grata. Ground colour pale olive 
green.* Head and legs red, former with some small black spots. First segment red above and also with a number of small black 
spots. On the sides of all save the first and last segments is a transverse rather narrow velvet black bar which extends nearly to the 
middle of the back near which it is widest, these bands do not connect dorsally, but the space between them in each segment except the 
the first and two last is supplied with a short red transverse band ; on the next to last segment the black bands are only on the sides; 
on the back are two parallel red transverse bands, on the first of which are eight and on the second four small black dots; the anal 
segment has also some round black dots. On each segment, especially dorsally, are a number of very fine dotted black lines. From 
head to anus extends a somewhat broad red band. Beneath on each of the fourth, fifth, tenth and eleventh segments is a transverse 
line formed by an almost connected row of small brown spots. 
Catooaea Ulalume, n. sp. Size and shape of C. Robin&onii, Grote, and in position it might stand between that species and 
C. Desperata, Guen. The lines run much as in the latter, but are not so plainly distinguishable owing to the whole wing being heavily 
dusted with black points, thus obscuring the pale ground colour very much more than in Desperata; in the latter there is a suffusion of 
brown between the transverse posterior line and the submarginal line, as well as on other parts of the wing; nothing of this is notice- 
able on the present species ; in many respects it resembles Lacrymosa, Guen., but is not as dark as that species nor as large ; under surface 
nearly as in 0. Desperata, but with more tendency to suffusion in the black. Perhaps the best idea I can convey of Ulalume is by say- 
ing that were the heavy dark brown shadings which accompany the transverse lines and are on other parts of the primaries of Desperata 
away, and the whole surface peppered with black atoms, it would make a fair counterpart of the insect. I am now hopelessly attempt- 
ing to describe in some such wav that the reader may be able to identify it. 
Mr. Boll also took Philampelus Ljnwei, G.-B.,f near San Antonia; I formerly received the same species from Mr. Doll, who 
captured it in east Florida.

ON SOME LEPIDOPTERA FROM TPIE REGIONS WEST OF HUDSON’S BAA", BETWEEN 
THE LATTER AND LAKE ATHABASCA. 
To Mr. Woldemar Geflcken of Stuttgart, Germany, I am indebted for a large number of Lepidoptera from those regions west of 
the Hudson’s Bay, known as New North and New South Wales, mostly from the latter. This tract of country lies between 53° and 63° 
N. L., and in common with most parts of British Columbia is a trackless wilderness, traversed only by the native Indians or hunters 
and those in the interest of the fur trade, and it was only after several years of ceaseless efforts, accompanied by repeated disappointments 
which would have thoroughly disheartened any one save a true lover of nature, that Mr. Geffcken at length succeeded in securing con- 
nections that enabled him to receive from time to time large numbers of examples, though unfortunately not always in the best condition, 
owing to the lack of proficiency of the collectors employed, who were moatly Indian boys and girls. These species, as will be seen, are 
in great measure the same as or forms of those found in N. W. Labrador, though some indigenous to the latter locality, such as Colias 
Nastes and Arg. Polaris, were not among the collections at various times received. 
Papilio Ttjrnus, L. cJ 1 9- Examples small, somewhat more heavily marked with black than the United States and Canada 
examples and agreeing nearly with the description of those from the Island of Anticosti (south of Labrador) near top of page 69 of this 
work. Not uncommon. 
Pieris ( Napi ) var. Frigida, Scud. U does not differ from those found in south west Labrador ; i. e., with upper side immacu- 
late white, and under side of secondaries and apices of primaries yellowish, with veins of secondaries accompanied with brown. Only 
a few examples received. 
Colias Eurytheme, Bdl. <T- O ne example not differing in size or colour from those found in the United States. 
* This description is from an inflated example in which the colour may not have been as vivid as during life.
