red along the upper and external margins, blackish towards the anal 
angle. Antennae brown on their upper surface, lighter underneath. 
Upper and under surface of thorax, tegulae and head rich reddish 
brown; palpi brown, terminal joint the darkest; tongue blackish, 
lighter at the base, as long as the thorax. Abdomen entirely yellow, 
not banded, shaded with reddish underneath. Expanse |—14 inches.

Tepper, Brooklyn, L. I. 
In single specimens (Coll. Ent. Soc. Philad.) the transverse posterior 
line is more arcaated superiorily than in the specimens I have figured 
and the discal lunule on the posterior wings is almost obliterated. 
This very distinct species unites, in the ornamentation of anterior 
and posterior wings, the 1st and 2nd groups of the three into which 
M. Guenee resolves the present genus. As these groups are artificial 
and founded apparently on no affinities of structure, I have not felt 
justified in retaining them. 
I have dedicated this species to my friend and brother Entomologist 
Henry S. Sprague, of the Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences.

“ Anterior wings reddish with the two median lines well defined, of 
a lighter color and broadly shaded exteriorily with olivaceous; the 
transverse anterior line strongly curved; the transverse posterior an- 
gulated opposite the discal space, curved below it. Median shade oli¬ 
vaceous, narrow, zigzag, crossing the reniform spot which is of the 
same color. Subterminal line hardly perceptible, preceded by a dark 
costal mark [in M. Guenee’s figure two blackish rounded superposed 
spots]. Posterior wings dark yellow showing a large black discal spot 
and basal streak and a terminal black band vaguely spotted with yellow 
about the centre. Under surface dark yellow; anterior pair showing 
a basal mark, a discal spot and band all black; posterior pair with the 
discal spot and band nearly obliterated; 9 ^ alike. 
“ Hah. North America.” 
Unknown to me. M. Guenee’s figure should render this species 
readily recognisable.
