7. Anthoecia bina Guenee. 
Anthcecia hina Guenee. USToet. 11, 186, 
Anthodcm bina Walker, C. B. M., ISToct. p. 695. 
Anterior wings reddish brown varied with olivaceous yellow, the 
latter shade obtaining principally in the median space, the former at 
the base. Two white costal spots, more apparent in the 9 , indicate 
the commencement of the median lines which are very indistinct. Pos¬ 
terior wings black, costal margin slightly tinged with yellowish and 
two spots of the latter shade on the discal space; fringes yellow. Un¬ 
der side varied with black, light yellow and brownish red ; posterior 
wings showing the subterminal band distinct, half black, half red. 
Abdomen distinctly banded; palpi perceptibly longer than in the pre- 
ceeding species. 9 darker, more reddish than the S 
Hah. North America.'’ 
Unknown to me. Said to resemble Anthoecia tiiherculnm and to 
have in common with that species, a resemblance to certain Pyralids 
belonging to the genus Pi/ra.usta. 
UEOMETRINA H-S. 
Platsea californiaria H-S. Exot. p. 43 and 61, fig. 537. 
Alas anteriores cinereae-brunnem, discali lunula alba, margine costali 
depresso^ apice proloiigato. Lineae mediales dentatae, obscuriores, albae 
latae marginatae, confluentes in margine inferiore. Linea subtermina- 
lis lata, alba, duo-flexa. Alae inferiores sordide-albae; antennae bipec- 
tinatae; thorax et abdomen sordide-album ; tegulae albae. 9 . 
A specimen in the Coll. Ent. Soc. Philad., from Pike’s Peak^ differs 
from H-S. figure by the ground color of the anterior wings being of a 
uniform brownish grey showing also a white lunulated discal spot in¬ 
stead of the black dot with which H-S. represents it. It differs also 
by both median lines being largely bordered with white and by the 
presence of several white streaks in the median space. The median 
lines also do not approach so closely, nor is the posterior line so acutely 
toothed as in H-S. figure. These differences are perhaps sexual— 
H-S. fi gure is evidently % , while the specimen I have before me, 
though its condition does not admit of absolute certainty, I judge to 
be 9 . The description of Gorytode^ uncanaria Gruen. U.& P. Yol. II, 
p. 180 (1857) refers undoubtedly to this species (Yide Morris’ Cat.) 
but according to H-S. Exot. p. 61, the name I have retained above 
has priority, having been published in 1855.
