PSEUDOHAZIS. By Dr. M. Draudt. 
ncvadensis. H. lievadensis Stretch. ( = californica Wright, artemis Pack.) (120 c) is very similar to the preceding 
species, especially latifascia, but more densely scaled than the latter and easily discernible by the thorax being 
covered with yellowish-white hair; the white median area of both wings very broad, the discal spot of the 
hindwing of a triangular shape without a white central streak. California, Rocky Mts. to the Pacific Coast. 
Larva sea-green or yellowish with black thorns and red-brown head and feet. It lives on willows and poplar-trees. 
juno. H. juno Pack. (= yavapai Pack.) (120 e) is much more densely scaled, black, with a white median 
band divided by the black veins on the forewing and a small white discal spot; interior margin of tegulae and 
anal tuft of abdomen brick-red. Arizona and North Mexico. Larva velvety black, densely dotted yellowish- 
white, with orange transverse bands and an undulated yellowish-white lateral stripe. 
irotei. H. grotei G. <b R. (= diana Pack.) (120 e) is very similar to juno, but the median band of the forewing 
is mostly reduced to 3 white spots inclusive of the discal spot. Hindwing mostly only with one or two small 
apical spots, in the $ more with a narrow white median band. Texas and Colorado. 
neumoegen i. H. neunioegeni H. Edw. is a rare species with silvery white forewings with 2 black dentate transverse 
lines and reddish-orange discal sjwts edged with black, a similar one in the cell at the antemedian line. Arizona, 
California. Abdomen above with orange-red hair, antennae orange-brown. For this species and the following 
burnsi Grote established the subgenus Argyranges. 
bumsi. H. burnsi Wats. (120 e) is a beautiful species very closely allied to neumoegeni, larger, snow-white with 
2 black transverse bands, the exterior one being notched, with a black discal ring, the small orange antemedian 
spot is always absent, hindwing with a black discal spot or ring and a black transverse line behind it, which 
is thickened at the costal margin. Abdomen with black rings, basally reddish; without the orange-red hair 
paradoxa. of neumoegeni. Mesothorax in front, palpi and forelegs pink, antennae deep dark brown. paradoxa Wats. 
exhibits a less black abdomen; the colour of the wings is light reddish-yellow, not white, at the apex smoked 
lilac brown, more intensely marked, the costal margin between the two black bands lighter, the margin darkened 
ilmae. also on the hindwing. - - ab. ilmae Wats, is yellowish-white on the body and wings, the black transverse bands 
are broader and connected along the costal margin; described from a — ab. nigrovenosa Wats, shows the 
veins of the forewing strewn with black scales; described from a $. — ab. conjuncta Wats, exhibits the black

transverse bands connected by a black line at the inner margin, and black veins between the postmedian band 
and the discal spot. California. 
31. Genus: Pseudoliazis Gr. & R. 
Separated from the preceding genus by the more elongated wings, the more produced apex of the 
forewing, larger more butterfly-like hindwings, and the somewhat slimmer body. In the other structure almost 
the same. The dd antennae are longer pectinated, those of the $$ shorter pectinated. In the scheme of 
markings, the species are quite similar to those of the genus Hemileuca, they are most variable and fly in the 
forenoon in the sunshine, in a very lively and swift flight similar to that of the Argynnis- species flying with 
them. In the shape and colouring of the wings they also recall the Indo-Australian Geometrid genus Dysphania. 
Type: P. eglanterina Bsdv. 
cglanterina. P. eglanterina Bsdv. (= eglanteriae H. S., normalis Dyar) (120 f) is an extremely variable species 
always recognisable by an orange longitudinal patch between the veins 4 and 5 behind the discal spot. The 
nomenclatural type is bone-coloured above, warming into orange towards the margin and suffused with pink, 
hindwing orange, with thick black transverse bands, on the forewing 2, on the hindwing one, and with large 
shastaensis. black discal spots, that of the hindwing with a white central streak. - shastaensis Behr. is a form more intensely 
marked black, from the higher mountains; the whole ground is also blackened, so that extreme specimens 
denudata. merely show a submarginal row of yellow or pink spots, and even those may be absent. — In denudata Neum. 
(= boisduvalii Obth., harrisi Obth.) (120 f) the normal marking is very feebly marked blackish-grey like a shadow, 
nuttalli. or entirely extinct. The type originates from California.— nuttalli Stkr. (= uniformis Ckll.), described according 
to a A from Colorado at an altitude of 11 000 ft., is light yellowish oclrreous above and beneath, with somewhat 
darker hindwings, the same markings as eglanterina, though without the yellow longitudinal patch behind the 
arizonensis. discal spot. arizonensis Stkr. has whitish-reddish flesh-coloured wings; from Arizona. The larva of eglanterina 
is dull black with finely branched chestnut-brown firtree-like thorns, it lives on Frangula californica 
and roses. The larva of shastaensis has black thorns and lilac subdorsal, lateral and sidnstigmatal longitudinal 
lines which may also disappear. It lives on Ceanothus, Arctostaphylos, also on cherries, gregariously until 
the last stage. It does not pupate in the soil. 
her a . P. hera Harris ( = pica Wkr.) (120 f). Light yellow, marked almost exactly like H. neumoegeni or 
burnsi, but with black wedges at the margin. Likewise most variable. Colorado, Utah, Nevada, New Mexico. 
marcata. — marcata Neum. (120 f), from Oregon, is distinguished by a pure white ground-colour, the absence of the 
black wedge-shaped vein-ends on the hindwing, finer black transverse lines, and the absence of the black
