The publications of the National Museum consist of two series: Proceedings and Bulletins. . The Proceedings, the first volume of which was issued in 1878. are intended primarily as a medium of publication for newly-acquired facts in biology, anthropology, and geology, descriptions of new forms of animals and plants acquired by the National Museum, discussions of nomenclature, ete. A volume is issued annually or oftener for distri- “~tion to libraries, while in view of the importance to science of the mpt publication of descriptions of new species, a limited edition of 1 paper is printed in pamphlet form in advance. che present volume is the twenty-fifth of the series. The Bulletin, publication of which was begun in 1875, is a series of more elaborate papers, issued separately and based for the most part upon collections in the National Museum. They are mono- graphic in scope, and are devoted principally to the discussion of large zoological groups, bibliographies of eminent naturalists. reports of expeditions, ete. A quarto formof the Bulletin, known as the * Special Bulletin,” has been adopted in a few instances in which a larger page was deemed indispensable. The Annual Report of the National Museum (being the second vol- ume of the Smithsonian Report) contains papers chiefly of an ethno- logical character, describing collections in the National Museum. Papers intended for publication by the National Museum are usually referred to an advisory committee, composed as follows: Frederick W. True (chairman), William H. Holmes. George P. Merrill, James EK. Benedict, Otis T. Mason, Leonhard Stejneger, Lester F. Ward, and Marcus Benjamin (editor). S. P. Lanetey, Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. IIL a ARLE OF CONDANTS.

By Henry ULKE. I. INTRODUCTION. The following list of the Coleoptera of the District of Columbia is the result of a diligent search extending over a period of nearly forty years. In the fifties, the city of Washington was still surrounded by many fine woods and lovely meadows, which promised the entomologist and botanist a rich harvest. In truth, almost every collecting excursion in those days furnished abundant new material and raised the interest and enthusiasm of the collector to a high pitch. With the beginning of our civil war, the woods on the Virginia side of the Potomac began to disappear, and not many years later the pleasant fields and woods north and northwest of the city were occu- pied by city extensions, avenues, and building lots, so that one hunt- ing ground after the other was captured by advancing civilization. Nevertheless the right bank of the Potomac, between the Aqueduct Bridge and Little Falls, remained a rich field for the collector until quite recently, when it, too, began to suffer from the inroads of the stone quarrymen and others. As a result of the destruction of forests and meadows, a number of beetles seem to have disappeared, which were formerly quite common, such as Boros unicolor, Doryphora juncta, and Laricobius erichson?, while other species were introduced with the extension of agriculture and horticulture. Among the introduced species, some have multiplied so fast that they may now fairly be considered pests, such as Phytonomus punctatus and Sitones hispidulus. A large por- tion of the District, however, still remains unexplored, and only recently the southeastern region, toward Marlboro, furnished botan- ists several species not previously enumerated in Lester F. Ward’s excellent List of the Flora of Washington and Vicinity. PROCEEDINGS U. S. NATIONAL Museum, VOL, XXV—No. 1275. Proc. N. M. vol. xxv—02 L 1 9 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. VOL. XXV. The northeastern region, in the neighborhood of Odenton, should also be studied more carefully, as, for example, the sand dunes there constitute the only places where the rare Cremastochilus leucostictus ras found. Notwithstanding the attendant difficulties and large extent of unex- plored territory to furnish a nearly complete list of the Coleoptera of the District of Columbia, I must acknowledge that success is in part due to the encouragement of my friend, E. A. Schwarz, who kindly lent his wide experience and assistance in preparing the annexed biological notes. The following important facts have been observed concerning the relation existing between the local geology, flora, and general fauna and the occurrence of the District beetles in special. It is a well-known fact that the distribution and varied habits of Coleoptera afford such striking features that the general physical characteristics of any locality can be determined from an average collection of the beetles of such region. The number of species found in the District of Columbia, or, more broadly, in an area within a radius of 20 miles of the Capitol, is not less than 3,000. This is a much larger number than has been recorded from local lists of any other equal area in the United States... It repre- sents about one-fourth of the total number of species now recorded from North America north of the Mexican boundary. Let us now examine the physical conditions which form the enyiron- ment of the Coleoptera here. Z The geology of the District presents the following features: Washington City is chiefly built upon thin beds of sedimentary sands, clays, or gravels of the Post-Jurassic age, covering the Archean crystalline rocks—chiefly gneiss and granite. Satisfactory exposures of these rocks are to be found only in the deep ravines cut by the Potomac and Rock Creek or their tributaries, since, at the surface of the Washington plateau, their character has been obscured or obliterated by extensive superficial decay and by cultivation. Toward the west the gneisses, which are for the most part granitoid in character and possess a north-south strike, become somewhat more foliated and schistose. In many places it appears that the granites and gneisses have been subjected to extensive metamorphism. Near Georgetown and Cabin John occur pronounced developments of a massive dark-green diorite, and in other localities are found bands of siliceous and chloritic schists. These, however, grade imperceptibly into the prevailing granite and gneiss, and probably represent the result of intense dynamic action. Limited occurrences of gabbro, ser- pentine, and steatite complete the list of eruptive rocks found in the District. Altogether they contain at least forty different mineral species. No. 1275. BEETLES OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA—ULKE. 5 The soil formed by the decomposition of the above sediments and rocks is so varied in character that it is able to support no less than 1,400 species and varieties of vascular plants. Now, as about half of all the beetles depend upon plants for their food, the greater the variety of food plants the larger we find the number of species of beetles. The geographical position and topographical features of the District of Columbia also largely account for its diversified insect fauna. The coastal plain deposits, concealing the crystalline rocks of the eastern and southern portions of the District, are formed into numer- ous terraces, so that Washington is surrounded by low hills on all sides, except where the Eastern Branch and southeastern shores of the Potomac flatten out into marshy grounds. As the District lies on the border of the crystalline plateau and the lower coastal formation and at the head of tide water on the great lowland plain, which extends from New York to Richmond, the local fauna has the composite character belonging to the upper austral, lower austral, and the transition zones, or, to be more exact. it has the facies of the Allegheny, Carolina, and austro-riparian regions, as classified by Dr. ©. Hart Merriam.' In a region so restricted and comparatively level, there are of course no such changes in the temperature as in mountainous countries, where we find forms of insects on the top of mountains very different from those below, the former being always of a more northern type. The appearance of northern and southern forms are here controlled by the change of seasons, so in early spring we may always expect more northern types, while in midsummer the southern ones predominate. There are other local causes which influence the character of our fauna. The Potomac River every spring carries down quantities of flood débris from the mountain districts, containing insects which properly belong to higher elevations, for example, 2hellops/s obcor- data, Pinodytes cryptophagoides, Carebara longula, Enehodes sericea, and several Carabide, Longicorns, and Elateride. Southern forms have been observed chiefly in the middle and eastern part of the District as along the Eastern Branch, where species were collected, such as" Casnonia ludoviciana, Cymindis elegans, Thalpius dorsalis, and several Chrysomelide. The great attraction of the electric lights for insects has also resulted in the discovery of certain kinds, whose occurrence here was not pre- viously known with certainty, such as Omophron labiatum, Clivina punetigera, Platynus picticornis, Rhantus calidus, Atenius fiqurator, Pleurophorus ventralis, and Donacia hypoleuca, which belong to the austroriparian fauna. 'The geographical Distribution of Animals and Plants in North America. Bull Nat. Geog. Soc., 1895, . 4 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. VOL. XXV. To convey a correct impression of the geographical distribution of the beetles, it is absolutely essential to obtain accurate lists of the Coleoptera ofthe different sections of this country. The first step in this direction was taken by Messrs. E. A. Schwarz and H. G. Hubbard, who prepared the Coleoptera of Michigan and Florida, and their exam- ple was followed by numerous other entomologists. Of special inter- est for comparison is Dr. John Hamilton’s Catalogue of the Coleop- tera of Southwestern Pennsylvania (1895). There are especially three localities in the immediate vicinity of Washington which have been very carefully explored by the ento- mologists: The meadows, rocks, and woods along both sides of the Potomac and including the river flats across Long Bridge; the valleys of the Rock Creek, and the banks of Eastern Branch. The richest collecting ground near Washington has been the rocky ledges and ravines along the south banks of the Potomac just above the Free Bridge. The Rock Creek region is also full of interest. The creek cutting its snake like course here through solid rocks, leaves deep ‘avines and winds its way among mossy sand banks and swampy meadows, presenting a variety of conditions that always assures the collector a rich harvest. In striking contrast to the above localities are the banks of the Eastern Branch, with their extensive marshes of wild rice. Here a great many species were found not occurring elsewhere in the District. Some representative forms of the austroriparian fauna are found all along the Atlantic coast from Florida to New Jersey, but the majority do not extend more northerly than the Chesapeake region, while certain northern species find their southern limit of distribution in this vicinity. The following are examples of austroriparian species which find here their northern limit: Omophron labiatum, Platynus striatopunctatus and picticornis, Anatrichis minuta, Celina angustata, Bryaxis belfrage:, Ino reclusa, Meristhus scobinula, Ischiodontus soleatus, Ozognathus floridanus, (dionychis indigoptera, Lactica tibialis, Mecynotarsus candidus, Aylophilus notatus, IHyporhagus punctulatus, Liopus crassulus, Au- leutes tachygonoides, Ceutorhynchus siculus, Oomorphidius levicollis, Cheetocelus setosus, and others. Of Alleghenian forms, which find here their southern limit, we have: Cicindela rugifrons, Lebia fuscata, [ps confluentus, Boros unicolor, Laricobius erichsoni, Rhinosimus viridizneus, Carebara longula, Linchodes sericea, Pterostichus corvinus, Platynus obsoletus, Acalyptus carpini, and others. The great bulk of our Coleoptera, however, belongs to the caro- linian fauna. No. 1275. BEETLES OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA—ULKE. 5 As this manuscript was prepared nearly four years ago, papers on North American Coleoptera that have been published since have not been taken into consideration. Some of the changes in the nomencla- ture established in these papers have been inserted, but many others could not be attended to. : Everyone familiar with the systematic study of North American Coleoptera is aware that in many genera of various families we have a larger or smaller number of undescribed species; the description of which must by all means be left for future monographs. Such species are omitted in this list; they are most numerous in the subfamily Aleocharine of the family Staphylinidee, in the Cioidee, Cryptopla- gidee, ete. A local faunal list acquires interest and importance only when compared with lists of adjacent regions. As to Coleoptera we have the list by the late Dr. John Hamilton’ on the Coleopetra of south- western Pennsylvania, and that of Dr. J. B. Smith on the insects of New Jersey (second edition, 1899.) Both of these lists refer to regions north of the District of Columbia. Southward we have no compre- hensive faunal lists of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. The list of Coleoptera of Florida, by Schwarz and Hubbard ® is also of importance for comparison with our District fauna. It is very gratifying to find that some of the younger enthusiastic students in the Division of Insects in the United States National Museum, and the Division of Entomology in the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture, such as H. 5S. Barber and F. C. Pratt, have taken up coleopterology and already give proof of their success in studying and collecting coleoptera. No doubt many additions will hereafter be made to the species enumerated in this paper. LIST OF SPECIES. CICINDELID 4s. CARA BID. 1. Tetracha virginica Linneeus. 14. Omophron labiatum Fabricius. 2.

During the course of various recent systematic researches in the bird collection of the United States National Museum, the following South American species and subspecies, apparently new, were inci- dentally brought to light. They for the most part belong to the Tyrannide and other mesomyodian families. In several instances the specimens had been for a long time in the United States National Museum collection, but either undetermined or misidentified. For privileges of investigation and publication, as well as for many accessory courtesies, the thanks of the author are due Mr. Ridgway, the curator of the division. In three cases where material from other museums forms the basis of description, indebtedness to the proper source is acknowledged. Family FORMICARITD. THAMNOPHILUS TEPHROGASTER, new species. Chars. sp.—Similar to Thamnophilus caerulescens in form and gen- eral color, but differs in having the abdomen and crissum pale slate gray instead of white, the lower tail-coverts barred with blackish. Description.—Type, adult male, No. 32846, U.S.N.M.; Bahia, Brazil. Pileum, nape, and middle of back black, the latter with large concealed spots of pure white; remainder of upper surface, the super- ciliary stripe, sides of head and neck slate color, the lores and auric- ulars mixed with blackish; tail black, broadly tipped with white, and with a bar, or lengthened spot, on the middle of the exterior web of each of the outer rectrices; wings fuscous, the secondaries margined externally with slate color, the primaries narrowly with white, the superior wing-coverts all black with broad white tips; lower surface slate gray, paler posteriorly, where obsoletely barred with grayish; crissum light slate gray, barred rather indistinctly with slaty blackish; lining of wing grayish white. Length of wing, 71 mm.; tail, 66 mm.; exposed culmen, 13.5 mm.; tarsus, 23 mm.; middle toe, 14 mm. This new Zhamnophilus has apparently hitherto been confounded PROCEEDINGS U. S. NATIONAL Museum, VoL. XXV—No. 1276. 59 60 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. VOL. XXV. with Thamnophilus caerulescens, from which, however, it is at least _ subspecifically distinet. All the specimens we have seen are from Brazil, and are quite uniform in characters, though some of them are more plainly barred on the lower tail-coverts than is the type; and while the present form may ultimately prove to be but the geo- graphical representative of 7. caerulescens in Brazil, there is at pres- ent no evidence of intergradation. From Thamnophilus naevius, with which it agrees in general appearance, it differs in decidedly shorter, weaker bill, somewhat paler abdomen, and broader bar on the median portion of the outermost rectrix. A female, apparently belonging to this new species, has a shorter bill than the same sex of T. naevius, 18 appreciably less rufescent above, with the tail, particularly on the middle feathers, more blackish; and in place of the dull, grayish ochraceous of naceius, is conspicuously rufous below, anteriorly shaded with olive. This form seems never to have received a name, since Thamnophilus cacrulescens Vieillot,! and Thamnophilus auratus of the same author,’ both based on Paraguay specimens, as well as Thamnophilus ventralis Sclater.’ all refer undoubtedly to the white-vented bird. It is barely possible that Zhamnophilus pileatus Swainson * is the immature male of the bird here described, but unless considerable allowance is to he made for error of description this seems not to be the case. Family FURNARIID®. SYNALLAXIS SPIXI NOTIUS, new subspecies. Chars. subsp.—Similar to Synallaris spiei spivi, but much more grayish above; sides, flanks, and crissum grayish, or but very slightly rufescent. Description.—Ty pe, adult male, No. 55783, U.S.N.M.; Conchitas, Buenos Ayres, Argentine Republic, November, 1868; William H. Hudson. Crown and forehead bright chestnut; rest of upper parts dark grayish brown, somewhat rufescent on the back; tail similar, but slightly darker; wings fuscous, margined externally with olive, the median and lesser coverts chestnut, the greater series edged with the same: sides of head and neck, including supraorbital region, deep brownish gray; center of chin and throat black with silvery gray tips to many of the feathers; remainder of lower surface down to the breast ‘brownish gray; abdomen pale brownish gray, the sides and erissum much darker and with a very slight tinge of rufous; lining of wing buff. Length of wing, 49 mm.; tail, 71 mm.;° exposed culmen, 14 mm.: tarsus, 19 mm.; middle toe, 13 mm. 1Nouv. Dict. d’Hist. Nat., III, 1816, p. 311. *Idem, p. 312. ’ Edinburgh New Philos.

NEW SOUTH AMERICAN BIRDS—OBE TRHOLSER,. 61 The type of Synallavis spixi came from Brazil, and it is on the strength of comparison with birds from that country that the present separation is made. A specimen from Paraguay seems to be some- what intermediate, though agreeing substantially with Brazilian birds. XENICOPSIS PERCNOPTERUS, new species. Chars. sp.—Allied to Xenicopsis olcagineus, but more rufescent throughout; upper surface somewhat darker, superciliary more deeply ochraceous; breast more strongly tinged with ochraceous: lining of wing darker. Description.—Type, adult male, No. 177706, U.S.N.M.: Alto da Serra, Brazil, August 8, 1899; J. Lima. Upper parts uniform reddish olive brown, a little paler on the rump and upper tail-coverts, the feathers with slightly darker margins, producing an obsolete squamate effect; wings like the back but more rufescent; tail plain chestnut; superciliary stripe deep ochraceous: lores ochraceous, mixed with olive brown; cheeks, sides of head and neck olive brown, inclining to blackish, with broad shaft streaks of buffy and white; chin and upper throat pale buff, the feathers all tipped with olive; remainder of lower surface olive brown, rather lighter than that of the upper parts, streaked broadly and sharply with buffy white and ochraceous, these markings narrow on flanks, sides, and crissum; lining of wing deep fulvou-; inner margins of remiges dull ochraceous. Length of wing, 79 mm.; tail, 73 mm.;' exposed culmen, 18 mm.; tarsus, 22 mm.: middle toe, 18.5 mm. In the character of the streaking below this new species agrees with both AeNICOPS!S oleagi nes and AXenicopsis acritus,? differing further from the latter in its decidedly more rufescent color both above and below, and in the strongly buffy instead of yellowish shade of the light areas on the breast and lower throat. There is no difficulty in distinguishing the present species from AENICOPSIS rufosuperciliatus, since the much more distinctly streaked, less rufescent lower surface, tae paler superciliary stripe, with the much darker, more olive upper parts, serve to separate it almost at a glance.

Length of wing, 64 mm.; tail, 66 mm.; exposed culmen, 10 mm.; tarsus, 20.5 mm.; middle toe, 10.5 mm. The differences charaeterizing this new form are not such as may be graphically described, but they are nevertheless quite apparent on comparison of specimens. The rufescent hue pervading the upper parts is prevalent also on the sides of the breast and adjacent portion of the neck. invading as well to an appreciable extent the brownish suf- fusion of the breast. The two races appear to be alike in size. The type of Ochthoeca rufimarginata, Which has been examined in the American Museum of Natural History, came from Quito Valley, and represents apparently the bird found on the central and western Andes, while this new form, evidently but a subspecies, is its repre- sentative on the eastern slope of these mountains.

The single specimen of this bird differs so greatly from examples of Mecocerculus stictopterus that its distinctness seems to be certain.

While possibly a distinct species, this new form so resembles true Mecocerculus stictopterus from Ecuador as to appear the subspecific representative of that species in Peru. It is, however, determinable at sight by the very different color of the back. The size of both forms appears to be nearly or quite the same. RHYNCHOCYCLUS SCOTIUS, new species. Chars.

Chars. gen.—Similar to Orchilus Cabanis, but tail very much shorter—less than half of wing, and not decidedly longer than tarsus. Type, Zodirostrum ecaudatum @Orbigny and Lafresnaye. The species commonly known as Orchilus ecaudatus differs so much from the type of the genus in which it has been placed that its formal separation seems advisable. In addition to the structural characters above given may be added the very different pattern of coloration— unstreaked below, lacking the blackish auricular spot, and with a cinereous or blackish crown. The species are: »issotricous ccaudatus (VWOrbigny and Lafresnaye). opi ssotriCCUs atricapillus (Lawrence). HEMITRICCUS PAMMICTUS, new species.

Length of wing, 50 mm.; tail, 48 mm.; exposed culmen, 9 mm.; tarsus, 17.5 mm.; middle toe, 9 mm. The single specimen of this new species has been for a long time in the National Museum, and has been labeled Phylloscartes ventralis, but apparently is not even generically identical, as a comparison of speci- mens readily proves. In fact, it is much nearer /Zemitriceus diops than to any other species, though having rather a more narrow Dill, in this respect being somewhat intermediate between /Zemétriccus and Phylloscartes. In coloration it differs conspicuously from Phylloscartes ” ventralis in having the abdomen white instead of yellow, and in being venerally paler throughout. die weal ss . 1276.

Crown and occiput deep plumbeous with a slight brownish tinge; rest of upper surface bright olive green; tail fuscous, edged with olive green; wings fuscous, the lesser coverts margined with olive green, the median and greater coverts with greenish yellow, forming two wing bars, the secondaries similarly edged, the primaries more narrowly with the same color; lores and ill-defined superciliary stripe grayish white, mixed with slaty plumbeous; eye ring grayish white; subocular area mixed plumbeous and whitish; anterior auriculars dull sulphur yellow, this succeeded posteriorly by a black band; supra-auricular region with a dull white spot, contiguous to the end of superciliary stripe; sides of neck olive green like the back; entire lower surface deep greenish yellow, clearest posteriorly, much overlaid with olive green on the breast, duller and paler on the chin and upper throat; -axillars and under wing-coverts pale yellow; inner margins of wing- quills yellowish white. Wing, 57 mm.; tail, 52 mm.; exposed culmen, 8mm.; tarsus, 14.5 mm.; middle toe, 7.5 mm. The single specimen on which this new species is based was origi- nally identified as Pogonotriccus plumbeiceps, but it so greatly differs from that species, with the type of which it has been compared, that there is not the slightest doubt of its distinctness; and furthermore it seems not to agree with any described form. In general appearance it isa much brighter colored bird than P. plunberceps, this particu- larly conspicuous on the upper parts and about the head. There is much more blackish and slaty on the sides of the head; the more deeply yellowish wing margins are broader; the anterior ear-coverts are deep yellow; the crissum is darker yellow; the breast much more strongly shaded with olive. From /ogonotriccus zeledoni it differs in much the same respects, yet even more decidedly; and it may be dis- tinguished from 7. ea/mius by its larger size, slaty plumbeous crown and occiput, more yellowish edgings of the wings, slightly ashy chin and slaty mixture in the white of lores and superciliary stripe. _ This fine new species is with great pleasure dedicated to Dr. J. A. Allen, through whose kindness the privilege of publishing this descrip- tion is accorded, and to whom further the writer owes much for favors past and present. i Proc. N.

The most conspicuous character distinguishing the present form from true stbilator is the distinctly whitish rump.

Length of wing, 60 mm.; tail, 42 mm.; exposed culmen, 15.5 mm.; tarsus, 23 mm.; middle toe, 15.5 mm. The above-described species differs from Thryophilus longirostris of Brazil in its much shorter bill and tail, darker upper surface, more rufescent crown, conspicuous streaking of cheeks and auriculars, whitish breast and center of abdomen. It is only subspecifically dis- tinct from Thryophilus albipectus, although our material does not indicate intergradation. 7hryophilus albipectus bogotensis is evidently the bird identitied as 7hryophilus leucotis by Dr. Sharpe,’ but is cer- certainly not the Zhriothorus leucotis of Lafresnaye. In the original description of /eucotis” the cheeks are given as pure white, unmarked, which character, as well as the color of the upper parts, clearly is inapplicable to Dr. Sharpe’s bird from Venezuela or to the present one from Colombia; but dewcotis is apparently the bird now known as Thryophilus galbraithic Lawrence.* Dr. Sharpe synonymizes Thryo- thorus albipectus Cabanis* with his 7. deucotis,’ but that they are not identical is proved by a typical specimen in the National Museum collection. By the arrangement above indicated the South American species of the 7. leucotis group would stand as follows: Thryophilus leucotis (Lafresnaye) (= 7. galbraithii Auct.).—Panama.

Chars. subsp.—Similar to Lcterus pyrrhopterus pyrrhopterus, but humeral patch ferrugineous instead of chestnut. Description.—Type, adult male, No. 60595, U.S.N.M.; Cuyaba, Matto Grosso, Brazil; J. Natterer.—Entire plumage glossy black, with the exception of a bright ferrugineous wing patch involving all the superior coverts excepting the greater series. Length of wing (average of 4 specimens), 94.3 mm.; tail. 94.6 mm.; exposed culmen, 17 mm.; tarsus, 238.1 mm. The character upon which this new form rests—that is, the much paler color of the reddish brown humeral area—is, notwithstanding some individual variation, quite constant in all of the considerable number of specimens examined. Birds from the neighborhood of Chapada, Matto Grosso, Brazil, are of the same form, but those from Corumba, farther to the southward, are true pyrrhopterus. Bona- parte’s name Pendulinus periporphyrus' was based on the bird from Bolivia, which, as proved by specimens examined, is the same as that of Paraguay, the type locality of pyrrhopterus.” The present race is therefore undescribed. ICTERUS PYRRHOPTERUS ARGOPTILUS, new subspecies. Chars. subsp.—Like Icterus pyrrhopterus pyrrhopterus in color, but decidedly larger, this particularly evident in the bill and tail.

But Dysithamnus olivaceus is apparently quite a distinct species, the male differing from that of 2. mentalis in being usually quite uniform plumbeous above, and though sometimes appreciably tinged with olive, principally on the rump, never olive green; the lower surface poste- rior to the throat is never clear yellow, but generally white medially, much shaded with slate gray laterally, and on flanks and crissum tinged with pale brownish, ochraceous, or yellowish. The same large series which Dr. Allen studied has been examined in the present connection; and a considerable number of additional specimens in the United States National Museum, principally from Colombia and Central America, have thrown light upon the questions involved. Two forms of D. olivaceus are readily recognizable, D. olivaceus olivaceus from Peru, Bolivia and western Brazil, and D). ol/vaceus semicinereus from Colom- bia and Central America. While it is true that there are absolutely no valid characters by which the males of these two forms can be separated, there is no difficulty at all in distinguishing the femd/es, for those of semicinereus are very much darker both above and below, specimens from Colombia (Bogota) being extreme in this particular, With regard to the proper names for these two forms there is, untor- tunately, some room for question. The point to be determined is the identity of Tschudi’s name o//naceus, which from plate and description might apply to either the Brazilian or Central American bird. The present separation of o//naceus and semicinercus is based on comparison of specimens from Matto Grosso, Brazil, which are considered to represent o/ivaceus, with examples from Bogota, the type locality of semicinereus; while none from Ecuador, Peru, or Bolivia have been available. Should Peruvian specimens prove o/7vaceus identical with semicinereus, the latter would, of course, become a synonym, and another subspecific name would be necessary for the bird of west- ern Brazil, which undoubtedly would be afinés Pelzeln.t Although strongly inclined to the belief that this will some day have to be done, we refrain from making such a change until absolute proof of the necessity be obtained.

The only other species with which it seems to have at all close affinity is 7Thamnophilus aspersiventer @Orbigny and Lafresnaye,’ from Yungas, Bolivia, but judging from the various descriptions of this latter, the female of Zhamnophilus ochrus is very much paler below, having a broad buffy white area on 1Synopsis Avium, I, 1837, p. 10; d’ Orbigny, Voyage Amer.

There are apparently no synonyms that apply to this new species, for Thamnophilus pileatus Swainson" is clearly not the same, if indeed at all with certainty identifiable; and Thamnophilus ventralis Sclater” is undoubtedly the Thamnophilus cerulescens of Vieillot.

BIRDS COLLECTED IN PARAGUA Y—OBERHOLSER. 133 Description.—Type, adult male, No. 173384, U.S.N.M.; Sapucay, Paraguay, June 14, 1900; William T. Foster. Upper surface almost uniform dull, dark olive green, many of the feathers with very narrow dusky margins producing a slight squamate effect; tail bright chestnut, unmarked; wings dark brown, the innermost secondaries, outer vanes of primaries and exposed surface of all the superior wing-coverts rufescent olive brown, the inner margins of all the quills deep ochraceous; lores and superciliary stripe rich ochraceous, the former mixed with olive, the latter somewhat paler posteriorly; sides of head and neck dull olive green, much streaked with yellowish and buffy white; chin and upper throat pale naples yellow, the feathers with ‘small terminal spots of olive; rest of lower surface dull olive green, streaked with yellowish white, greenish white, and pale ochraceous, most broadly along the median line, most narrowly on flanks and sides where restricted to fine shaft lines, all this streaking distinct, as in AXenicopsis oleagineus; erissam with a rufous tinge; lining of wing dark ochraceous. ‘‘ Iris brown.” Length of wing, 75 mm.; tail, 76mm. ; exposed culmen, 16 mm.; tarsus, 23 mm.; middle toe, 17 mm. This new species, of which but a single specimen is in the collection, is apparently most closely allied to Yenicopsis oleagineus (Sclater),' but compared with some of the original specimens of that species it differs as above stated. With 1. rufosuperciliatus (Latresnaye)” it ean scarcely be confused, being so very different in its dull olive green instead of rufescent olive brown, both above and below, and in the very much more sharply defined markings of the ventral surface. Reichenbach’s Cichlocolaptes ochroblepharus® and his Cichlocolaptes adspersus* belong undoubtedly under Yentcopsis rufosuperciliatus, so that the present bird appears never to have been described. The type of the genus Anabazenops is clearly S/tta fusca Vieillot (= Anabatoides fuscus Auct.) for which this name should be used, leaving, as Dr. Sharpe has indicated,’ Yenécops/s Cabanis and Heine for the group commonly known as Anabazenops.

This apparently new form is perhaps nearest Leptopogon amauro- cephalus amaurocephatlus, from which, however, it differs in its some- what larger size, less ochraceous wing-bands, and paler, much less brownish, less well-defined cap. Dr. Allen! is seemingly quite right in asserting the close relation- ship of Leptopogon amaurocephalus, L. a. pileatus, and L. a. tristis, and considering them simply as geographical forms of one wide- ‘anging species. Leptopogon a. pileatus may easily be distinguished from true amaurocephalus by its darker, more ochraceous lower surface, more yellowish green upper parts, and warmer brown pileum.

Dr. Sclater, however, describes this species as being without streaking on the lower surface,’ though he fails to note that this is not in correspondence with the original description. If the birds prove really to be representatives of two forms, the name for the nonstreaked species is probably Euscarthmus wuchereri Sclater and Salvin,’ the diagnosis of which seems to indicate such a difference from true 4. margaritace/venter.

Dr. Sclater considered! the Guiana bird to be the typical form; but Linnzeus’ description, in so far as it is possible to determine, was based on the bird from Brazil, being, moreover, so considered by Cabanis when he separated the race from Cayenne;” and consequently the latter is the one that should be called Huphonia violacea lichten- stein’, unless, indeed, Lichtenstein’s prior name be considered tenable,* in which case it would stand as Euphonia violacea minor.

Palpi reddish gray above, deep velvety brown at the sides. Abdomen washed with carmine red. Primaries with an irregular, diffuse, purplish shade along the submedian vein. Basal line vaguely indicated. Transverse anterior line narrow, single, yel- lowish, a little oblique outwardly to the middle, and then with a small angle a little oblique inwardly. Transverse posterior line forming an acute angle just below the costa, then evenly oblique to the hind margin; narrow, pale, margined on each side by darker red brown. Subterminal line narrow, yellowish, irregular, preceded by a few small, obscure dark spots, the terminal space a little paler than the rest of the wing. Fringes rust red. A vague dusky median shade line is marked below the cell. Orbicular moderate in size, a little irregular, annulate with yellow.

LHabitat.—Biscayne Bay, Florida (Mrs. Slosson). The species has the wing form of wntpuncta and its general build. The markings are all very narrow, thread-like, perfectly distinct, and yet not contrasting. In color and general appearance it is entirely unlike any of our described forms, though like some of the southern species, from which it seems to be also sufficiently distinct. The type and only specimen is a female, lacking antenn, but other- wise in good condition. I find that Guenée has used the name velwtina in this genus, and am under the necessity of making a change. I have made as small a one as possible. LEUCANIA UNIPUNCTA Haworth. Noctua unipuncta Haworrn, Lep. Britt., IT, 1810, p. 177. Leucania unipuncta Furst, in Harris Inj.

Transverse anterior line not traceable or indicated by venular points. A dark point indicates the claviform. Transverse posterior line well removed outwardly, punctiform, variably evident, sometimes scarcely traceable, sometimes geminate, never very prominent. Both ordinary spots are marked as lighter shadings, but are not outlined. Orbicular oval, decumbent. Reniform irregular, marked inferiorly by a white dot at the end of the median vein, which is dusky shaded. A blackish oblique shade line extends from the transverse posterior line on vein 5 to the outer margin at the apex. Fringes short, concolorous. Secondaries smoky brown, tending to become whitish or partly trans- lucent toward base; veins marked and discal lunule evident in the paler examples; fringes whitish or yellowish, somewhat contrasting. Beneath whitish, powdery, primaries with disk smoky and with a smoky costal spot toward apex. Secondaries with costal and outer margins powdery, darker, and with a small black discal lunule. Proc. N. M. vol. xxv—02 12 178 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. VOL. XXV. Expanse.—1.40 to 1.75 inches (35 to 44 mm). Habitat.—Canada to Florida, to Texas, to the Rocky Mountains; New Mexico; Fort Collins, Colorado; Cartwright, Manitoba. This is the most common of the species and the most widely dis- tributed. It extends into Mexico and South America, and in our own country is of economic importance. The larva is the Army worm, and the literature is extensive. In the third Report of the Entomo- logical Commission, above cited, the bibliography is fully given to its date. Since then it has been written about in almost every State in which it occurs. The structural characters of the species are elsewhere referred to, and it remains only to be said that the actual range of variation is not great—chiefly a matter of lighter or darker. The species occurs throughout the year, but becomes most abundant in September, when it often drives off every other species from sugar. LEUCANIA PSEUDARGYRIA Guenee.

Ground color grayish luteous, tending to reddish. Head sometimes rusty brown in front and occasionally the inferior half of the collar is also rusty; but usually it is concolorous. ‘The little tuft behind the collar is sometimes rusty, but more usually concolorous. Primaries very finely speckled with smoky, blackish, or reddish. Transverse anterior line often reduced to black points on the veins or black lunules in the interspaces; when best defined the venular dots are obvious and the outcurves in the interspaces are wide. ‘Transverse posterior line is usually a very even series of venular dots, almost rigidly parallel with the outer margin; sometimes the line is geminate and an inner line of dots parallels that already mentioned; but this inner line is rarely complete and tends to become irregular. There is a series of small terminal dots in the interspaces. The ordinary spots are both obvious, paler than the rest of the wing, not outlined. Orbicular round or nearly so, varying in size. Reniform moderate or rather small, vague kidney shaped with a small black dot at the end of the cell. The terminal area is slightly darker in most examples. Second- aries from pale smoky to black, the fringes lighter, else nearly uni- form. Beneath obscure smoky, yellowish, the primaries darker on the disk, with a blackish costal spot from which a punctiform line sometimes crosses the wing. Secondaries paler, sometimes immacu- late, sometimes with a discal dot, and sometimes with a series of venu- lar dots forming an exterior line. NO, 1283.

Habitat.—Canada, July and August; New Hampshire, July; New Jersey, April, May, June, July; New York, May to August; Cleve- land, Ohio, in June; Glenwood Springs, Colorado, in April. As awhole this common species occurs east of the Rocky Mountains and does not seem to extend into the Southern States. The sexual structures have been sufficiently noted elsewhere. The males are uni- formly larger than the females and sometimes the disproportion is very striking. Besides this variation in size there is a difference in color, the tend- ency being to a reddish tint. The distinctly red form Mr. Grote named callida, and comparing it with Guenée’s obusta in the British Museum, I concluded that the two were identical. The species was described as from America, and Walker credits it to the United States, from Doubleday. Mr. Grote, in 1882, referred it somewhat doubt- fully as a synonym of pseudargyria, and I saw no reason to differ with him. Now Sir George Hampson declares that Guenée’s species is from Tasmania; hence should not be associated with the American form. I therefore restore Mr. Grote’s term cal/ida to indicate the red form of pseudargyria. LEUCANIA PILIPALPIS Grote. Heliophila pilipalpis Grote, Proc. Bost. Soc. Nat. Hist., X VIII, 1875, p. 415. ‘*A male specimen having the facies and ornamentation of pseudargyria Guen., but without the exaggerated tufting of abdomen and tibize. Stout, with hairy eyes and smooth front, and with a curious fan-shaped tuft of spreading hair arising from the upper surface of the second joint of the unusually prominent palpi. Head, thorax, and anterior wings concolorous, fawn gray, like pale specimens of its ally. Fore- wings sparsely speckled with black. Median lines fragmentary, composed of black marks; transverse anterior line outwardly oblique, subobsolete. Cell shaded with black. Orbicular spot wanting. Reniform, narrow, pale, S-shaped, intersecting inferiorly the black discal shade. Transverse posterior line formed of double dots, connected as in pseudargyria, but the line is more oblique and inwardly removed. Fringes pinkish, as is the internal margin, the latter showing an accumulation of the black irrorations. Hind wings whitish, with a smoky clouding outwardly above vein 2. Beneath whitish, without markings, with the fringes on fore wings pink, and the black transverse line visible on costa.”’ Lixpanse.—1.72 inches (43 mm.). Labitat.—Appalachicola, Florida (Thaxter). Since seeing the original type of this species I have seen only one other example of this species, a female, which, through the courtesy of Mr. Schaus, is now before me. It is in poor condition, but undoubtedly this species. Compared with the description of the male, the transverse anterior line is less obvious and the reniform is not S-shaped. Otherwise the agreement is close. The palpi in the female are unusually long and slender for a member of this genus, are closely clothed, and without special modification. 180 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. VOL. XXV.

Collar with three lighter and three smoky lines alternating. The patagiz are much powdered with blackish. Primaries with a dark smoky or blackish shade over the median vein, relieving a white dot at its end and extending beyond it nearly to the transverse posterior line. In the costal region the veins are whitish, the interspaces streaked with blackish. Along the inner margin is a paler, more yellowish area in which the streakings are lighter. The terminal area is dark, limited above by a somewhat yellowish oblique subapical shade. Transverse posterior line puncti- form, complete. Secondaries white, somewhat translucent, veins and outer border smoky. Beneath, primaries smoky with a reddish tinge; a black spot on costa toward apex from which a smoky line may extend across the wing. Secondaries whitish, with the costal and outer margins more or less obviously reddish gray, powdery. Expanse.—1.35 to 1.52 inches (34 to 38 mm.). Habitat.—Agricultural College, Mississippi, in October; Harris County and elsewhere in Texas in March; New Mexico, near its south- ern border. This seems to be locally common in Texas; but it was many years before I had an example in my collection. At present 1 have eleven specimens, representing both sexes, and except for size and for a little lighter or a little darker general effect there is no variation. The structural features and other distinctive characters are else- where referred to. Complicata Strecker was described from a rather small New Mexi- can specimen before the species had turned up in large numbers in Texas. LEUCANIA LUTEOPALLENS, new species.

Habitat. —Canada to Florida; Elizabeth, New Jersey, May and June; Anglesea, New Jersey, in April; Archer, Florida, in March. Twenty or more examples are before me from almost every North and Middle Atlantic State, but only on a few are there dates of capture. The sexual and other distinctive characters have been already pointed out, and the range of variation is not great. There is a little difference in depth of ground color, in the relative distinctness of the strigation, and in the amount of black on the disk of the secondaries: otherwise the specimens run very even. It is probable that the species extends to the Mississippi Valley, and perhaps to the elevated plains beyond. Type.—No. 6244, U.S.N.M. LEUCANIA MINORATA Smith. Leucania minorata SmitH, Trans. Am. Ent. Soc., XXI, 1894, p. 75, pl. v, fig. 11. Ground color grayish luteous, head and collar sometimes obscurely darker, immaculate. Primaries quite obviously strigate, the veins paler, the interspaces with one or two or three decidedly darker strigee in the interspaces. There is always an obvious though not contrasting shade beneath the median vein, usually a smoky, curved shade on the inner margin near base, and quite frequently a decidedly blackish line between veins 5 and 6. A black dot at the end of the discal vein. Two black dots represent the remnants of the transverse posterior line. There is a series of minute black terminal dots, which may be obsolete. Secondaries with disk smoky, the margins whitish. Beneath, prima- ries with a larger or smaller part of the disk smoky, a more obviously blackish shading at the end of the cell. Sometimes with an indicated punctiform outer line. Secondaries white with a small black discal dot. Expanse.—1.20 to 1.35 inches (30 to 34 mm. ). Habitat.—San Francisco, California; Corvallis, Oregon, May 20, June 12, August 24, September 17; Cortield and Livingston, Vancou- ver, throughout July to August 12; Calgary, Alberta, June 24 to July 30. Eighteen examples are under examination. The term minorata is a misnomer, if this species is to be compared with /utcopallens, but I considered it nearer to ovygale in the original description. As a matter of fact, it stands between oxygale and the European pa//ens, being really the American representative of the latter species. The range of variation, except in size, is small. It is a matter of little more contrast on the primaries between the lighter and darker streakings; a little more or a little less blackish on the secondaries. 182 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. VOL. XXV. On the under side the range of variation is greate1, no two examples being quite alike in the amount of black on primaries. In this point also the species agrees well with pad/ens rather than luteopallens. LEUCANIA OXYGALE Grote. Heliophila oxygale Grotr, Can. Ent., XIII, 1881, p. 14. Leucania oxygale Smrrx, Bull. 44, U. S. Nat. Mus., 1893, p. 185. Ground color a very pale creamy, overlaid with gray, giving the impression of a pale luteous gray or dirty pale clay yellow. Head and thorax immaculate. Primaries with the veins paler and the usual dark strigations in the interspaces, but so little contrasting that the wings seem almost immaculate. The median vein is only a little paler and the dot at the end of the cell is very small or altogether wanting. So the transverse posterior line consists at most of two black venular points, and may be altogether wanting. Secondaries either uniformly smoky, or the margins may be paler and the veins darker; always with a large area of the disk blackish. Beneath, white, more or less black powdered or with smoky suffusion. The primaries may be blackish, except at the margins, and they may be black shaded only over the discal area at the end of the cell. Secondaries usually with only a light powdering of blackish scales, a small black discal dot, and a narrow, yellowish-tinted marginal area; rarely a large part of the discal area is blackish. Expanse.—1.25 to 1.40 inches (31 to 35 mm.). Habitat.—Alameda County, California, in June (Koebele); Los An- geles, California, May 15 (Smith); Palo Alto, California, April 30, Middle California (Barnes); Sierra Nevada, California (Hy. Edwards); Beulah, New Mexico, July 14, 18 (Cockerell); Salt Lake Utah (Hy. Edwards); Denver and Glenwood Springs, July 1 to 7, Colorado (Barnes). Fourteen examples are under examination. It is the least con- trasting of the species in this group, and the least variable in conse- quence. The black dots on the primary are never very strongly marked, but any one or all of them may be absent. Some specimens have quite a clear creamy-yellow tint, but the majority has a dirty gray addition that duils the color. While the range in size brings this species only a little above minorata, yet, as a matter of fact, most of the specimens exceed 1.30 inches and nearly or quite reach 1.35 inches, while in mnorata the smaller number reach 1.30 inches, and very few indeed exceed it. LEUCANIA RUBRIPALLENS, new species. Ground color dull reddish luteous. Head and thorax immaculate.

Secondaries yellowish in tinge, ranging to a transparent smoky, the disk being always a little darker. Beneath much paler than above; primaries with the disk variably blackish, ranging from a little shading over the cell to nearly the entire surface. Secondaries more or less powdery along the costa, and a little on the outer margin, with a small discal dot on a majority of the specimens before me. ; Lxpanse.—1.25 to 1.40 inches (31 to 35 mm.). FHlabitat.—Sierra Nevada, California (Hy. Edwards); Salt Lake, Utah (Hy. Edwards); Utah in July (Poling); Denver, Colorado, June 10 (Oslar); Glenwood Springs, Colorado, June 24, July 10, 16, and August 24 (Barnes). Eleven examples are before me, and they vary little except in the depth of the red tinge and in the amount of black on the secondaries. On the underside there is the usual range of variation as to area covered by black shadings and powderings, but nothing else. The average size of the specimens is 1.30 inches, three examples— females—exceeding that materially, while only two fall much below it. Type.—No. 6246, U.S.N.M. LEUCANIA PERTRACTA Morrison.

I have already recorded my convictions as to this species; but give the above copy of the original description, since, after all, the insect may be American, though not, I am convinced, a native of Pennsyl- vania. It is obviously a member of this group and quite out of the range of variation for /uteopallens. The primaries are like rubripallens, but the white secondaries and underside bar it. If the same form does ever again turn up, there will be no difficulty in recognizing it. LEUCANIA RUBRIPENNIS Grote and Robinson. Leucania rubripennis Grove and Rosryson, Trans. Am. Ent.

Below the median vein, which is paler and may be white, the carmine fills half the submedian interspace to vein 2, and all the space between veins 2 and 3. Veins 3 and 4 are pale, and the space between them is usually more or less completely pale; but it may be entirely reddish. Above vein 4a carmine shade begins at the end. of the cell as a point and broadens out so as to reach the outer margin below the apex. No black points or dots on any of the specimens before me. Secondaries white, sometimes with the margins a little soiled. Beneath white, primaries with a pinkish or yellowish shade. Head witha rusty yellow shading in front and sometimes with a rusty line above the antenne. Collar of the palest ground color inferiorly, rusty above and on the disk behind the collar. The front of the breast is also rusty or reddish. Expanse.—1.34 to 1.50 inches (34 to 38 mm.). fTabitat.—Texas in August; Kansas City, Missouri, in August (Hall). Six examples are under examination, and I have seen others. The species must be locally and seasonally common, for Belfrage seemed to have taken it in numbers; but since his time very few examples have found their way into collections. In 1898 Mr. F. J. Hall, by taking the species near Kansas City, Missouri, extended its known distribution materially; but I have no data as to how frequently it is captured there. There is little observed variation, and the insect is altogether so well marked that no difficulty will be found in identifying it. LEUCANIA ALBILINEA Hiibner.

Median vein white or at least pale, the light shade continued on veins 3and 4 to the margin; not unusually the interspace between these veins is paler than the area above or below. A brown shading below = ele No, 1283, REVISION OF SOME NOCTUID MOTHS—SMITH. 185 the median vein extends at least to its end and usually to the outer margin; often the vein is inferiorly edged with black. A black nar- row line extends from base into the submedian interspace and forms a loop near the middle of the wing, suggesting a claviform. Above vein 4 there is a triangular dusky area which, on the outer margin, reaches almost to the apex. The terminal space may be leaden gray or concolorous, or there may be a series of black marks indicating the subterminal line. There may be a small or a large black discal dot or none atall. It may break up into two of equal or unequal size or even into three, and these indicate the reniform. Fringes usually darker, with a pale line at base. Secondaries smoky brown or black- ish, even or only a little paler at the base; fringes white. Beneath, powdery gray over dirty white, the secondaries paler; the dark shad- ing variable, forming no obvious markings. Expanse. —1.12 to 1.82 inches (28 to 33 mm.). Habitat.—Anglesea, New Jersey, June 10, September 3; Cleveland, Ohio, May 5, 9 (Kearfott); Glenwood Springs, Colorado, June 5 (Barnes); southern Arizona (Barnes). The above are specific localities referring to the fourteen examples now before me. It is probable that the species occurs throughout the Eastern United States and extends into Canada. It is not impossible that the south Arizona example may represent a good species. The single specimen is only enough to create a dowbt. The majority of specimens expand about 1.20 inches. I have carefully compared Hiibner’s figure and have matched it per- fectly in the series before me. I have little doubt that it is this species really, though the type was said to come from Buenos Ayres. Hiib- ner’s description does not help much; he says it is a noctua genuina and Heliophila pallida. To Leucania l-album it is rather similar, but has an entirely unique middle marking besides other variations. On the other hand there isno doubt but that Mr. Grote intended the form here treated when he described his harvey?. The description fits it perfectly and fits no other. The range of variation has been partially indicated in the descrip- tion; it is not really great and yet there is enough to make quite a little difference in appearance. In the one extreme there are no black streaking and no discal dots; in the other there is black everywhere, below the cell, even in the cell; the discal spot breaks up and in every interspace along the subterminal line is a black mark or streak. The species has a large economic bibliography which is not here referred to. The larva is known as the wheat-head army worm. LEUCANIA OBSCURIOR, new species. Resembles a/bilinea in general type of maculation, but is somewhat darker on the whole, with less contrast, the ornamentation much more even. The median vein is white, the shading below it does not usually 186 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. VOL. XXV. differ very greatly from that along the inner margin; but on the other hand there is a shading above the vein, continuous with the trigonate shading above vein 4. In only one example is a discal dot observa- ble. Secondaries white at base with a smoky tinge outwardly. Beneath whitish, with a distinct yellow tinge over the costal region. Expanse.—1.20 inches (30 mm.). Habitat.—Cartwright, Manitoba (Heath). Two males and two females only, all very much alike and all more or less imperfect. The material is scant to authorize a new species in this group; but the combination of dark primaries, like those in albilinea with pale secondaries, leads to the belief that with more material additional points of difference will be brought out. Mean- while it is at least a well-marked local form. Type.—No. 6246, U.S.N.M. LEUCANIA DIFFUSA Walker. Leucania diffusa WALKER, C. B., Mus., Het. IX, 1856, p. 94.—Druce, Biol. Cent.

B., Mus., Het., IX, 1856, p. 114.—Smriru, Bull. 44, U.S. Nat. Mus., 1896, p. 186, pr. syn. Ground color a very pale luteous, tending to whitish. Head with a more or less obvious rusty tinge. Pale portion of collar with a brown or blackish transverse line, the tip rusty over a black line. Patagiz with a white line on disk and on the thorax a white line behind the collar. Primaries as a whole have the region along the inner margin broadly pale; in the male the costal region is usually as light; in the female it is gray with a pinkish tinge. A loop-like claviform is more or less completely indicated in every specimen, and is attached to a narrow black basal streak. The white median vein is usually black margined beneath, and below this is a gray or brown shading. A black discal spot is present in all the specimens, and often there are two. The terminal space is usually gray or brown, and the usual tri- angular shading above vein 4 is well marked, though not so broad as in albilinea. The fringes are of the pale ground and usually have a still paler line at base. Secondaries white, becoming smoky at the outer margin, varying in this particular. Beneath white, more or less powdery; primaries with the costa broadly yellowish or creamy, the disk tending to blackish. Expanse.—1.15 to 1.38 inches (29 to 35 mm.).

Specimens from all save the first and last of the above-cited localities are at hand, with a few others that have State labelsonly. The range extends, therefore, from the boreal area to the Tropics, though prob- ably not to the real tropical fauna. In the comments on a/bilinea I referred to the fact that a large economic literature exists for that species. It is not improbable that in great part the species now under consideration is really intended, hence citations must be cautiously made. It is also highly desirable that systematic breeding be done to discover the range of variation and what, if any, differences are discoverable in the larva. L. moderata Walker, was described from ‘* locality unknown;” but the type in the British Museum seemed to me American and like d¢/ffusa,; so the reference was made. The range of variation is very like that in a/bclinea, but not so great in contrast. In every respect the insect looks and is paler. When once the attempt is made to separate out, there is no difficulty in arranging the series. LEUCANIA LIMITATA, new species. Very pale creamy yellow. Head a little rusty in front. Collar gray rather than white inferiorly, limited by a white, surmounted by a black line. Primaries without costal darker shading. Median vein white, margined above by a smoky brown line which beyond the cell enlarges into the usual trigonate shading. Below the median vein is a narrow yellow brown shade, the vein itself black edged near the end, A small black basal streak with a very narrow loop-like claviform. Terminal space a little darker. Secondaries white, smmaculate. Beneath white or a very little yellowish, the costal region a little darker. Lixpanse.—1.32 inches (33 mm.). Habitat.—TYexas, in June (Hulst coll.). Onlya single male in fair condition. Itis unfortunate that no greater material of this species should be available to bring out more clearly what differences exist. LEUCANIA TETERA, new species. Ground color a pale creamy yellow. Head dull luteous. The white portion of collar crossed by a narrow luteous line; no defining line between the pale lower and darker upper portion. Thorax dull luteous. On the primaries the costal region becomes shaded with pink toward the apex. A small black discal dot. The usual dusky shade above vein 4, but interrupted by two white, black-edged dotlets in the interspaces, marking the subterminal line. Median vein concolorous 188 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. VOL. XXV. until near its tip, then whitish and opening into the 3-4 interspace. Below the median vein is a dusky shading, blackish at base and end of median vein, gray and reddish luteous beyond and below. The clavi- form barely traceable. Terminal space leaden gray except at apex. Subterminal line marked by black scales or by paler, black-margined points. A small black discal dot. Fringes white, with a yellow line _ at base and two narrow blackish interlines. Secondaries white, pearly, semitransparent. Beneath, primaries pale creamy, tending to pinkish along the costa; secondaries pearly white, tending to creamy along the costa. Expanse.—1.16 to 1.28 inches (29 to 32 mm.). Habitat. —Wilgus, Cochise County, and southern Arizona (Barnes). Three male examples, two of them in fair condition. They are very much alike and there is no doubt as to the distinctness of the species. The genitalic differences have been already referred to, as have the superficial color characters. The anterior femur has larger tufts than usual in this group and the fore tibia is also well tufted. On the middle and hind legs the tuftings, while well developed, are not especially prominent. Type.—No. 6247, U.S.N.M. LEUCANIA NEPTIS, new species. Ground color a dull, lifeless, very pale yellow; the dark shading on the primaries are an equally lifeless yellow or smoky brown. Head tending to rusty brown. Thorax dull luteous; a white line separating the pale from the dark portion of the collar. Primaries with all save internal and median veins dusky; breaking up what in other species is the clear sweep of the paler shade to the apex. The usual trigonate shade above vein 4. The dusky shade below the median shade merges gradually into the paler ground. A small black basal dash; but in few instances can the claviform be traced. Terminal space dusky. Discal dot absent or reduced to a mere point. Fringes whitish with two dusky interlines. Secondaries white with a faint yellowish tint. Beneath very pale yellowish; primaries deeper tinted and more yellowish along the costal region. Expanse.—1.20 to 1.40 inches (30 to 35 mm). Habitat.—Colorado (Neumoegen); Fort Collins, Colorado, August 13 (Kearfott). Nine examples are before me, eight of them from badly papered specimens. One perfect example from the Neumoegen collection. There is an undescribable lifeless shade to all these examples, giving no contrast, no defined impression—all one dull sameness. The leg tuftings in the male are better developed than in other species of the group save ¢etera. In neptis the anterior leg is not materially more prominent than the others. NO. 1288.

Soc., V, 1875, p. 115. Leucania ligata StRECKER, Rept. Chief Eng., 1878-79, V, 1879, p. 1862. This slender species has pure white secondaries and fringes in the female, while in the opposite sex these are slightly soiled. Forewings whitish ocher gray, faintly purple tinged, with the veins obsoletely white marked and accompanied by longitudinal blackish shades. Median nervure covered by a whitish streak, culminating in a white spot relieving a single inferior black dot and accompanied by a black shading which continues diffusedly to external margin, and leaves a clear ochery space above it on the cell, reaching beyond the dotted transverse line. Transverse posterior line indicated by a series of black venular points. Very minute marginal black points; fringes a little paler than the wing. Thorax and head like primaries. Beneath, without discal dots or common lines; a terminal dotted line on both Wings; primaries and costal region of secondaries somewhat rosy gray, else the secondaries are whitish, subpellucid. Under surface of body and legs of a slightly rosy gray. Collar faintly lined. Fixpanse.—1.10 to 1.22 inches (27.5 to 30.5 mm.). fHabitat.—Texas, March to November; Florida in March; Colorado, July 31. Twelve examples are before me, mostly from Texas; Shovel Moun- tain and Harris County being the only specific localities. The above is practically Mr. Grote’s description, not in quotation marks, because not literally transcribed. In general, there is a decided reddish gray tinge, a coarse black powdering, an obvious dotted transverse posterior line, and a longi- tudinal dark streak which extends over the white marked median vein from base, beyond it to the transverse posterior line or even the outer margin. The secondaries are rarely immaculate, but may be so in either sex; nor, on the other hand, is the smoky outer margin very extensive in any case seen by me. The species does not seem to be rare in Texas and tends to lose the reddish or purplish tinge. LEUCANIA FLABILIS Grote. Hleliophila flabilis Grorr, Can. Ent., XIII, 1881, p. 15. Leucania flabilis Smira, Bull. 44, U. S. Nat. Mus., 1893, p. 189. Very pale ochery or straw color, shaded with fuscous. The pale longitudinal shades extend along the cell over the interspaces between veins 5 and 6, nearly to the margin. A short pale shade on the inter- space above and extending nearer the margin. From the base a wide 190 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. VOL. XXV. submedial shade extends outwardly to the margin. A black dot marks the reniform at median vein; an extra-mesial row of dots on the ner- vules, not prominent. The veins are indistinctly paler. The darkest portion of the wing is along the median vein, and a fine black streak runs along the interspace between veins + and 5. Hind wings whitish, vaguely soiled with fuscous exteriorly. Thorax concolorous with primaries; no lines on the collar. Beneath without marks. This species recalls in maculation lapidaria, but is more diffusely shaded, the spots of the outer line more numergus, the hind wings darker, the body more slender. Expanse.—1.32 inches (33 mm.). Habitat.—Long Island, near the seashore, in May. The species was taken by Mr. Fred. Tepper who had a cotype, and this is the only example of flabi/is known to me in any American col- lection. It is probable that the insect is very local and that may account for its absence in cabinets. I have already stated that I can see no difference between Ugata and flabilis except that the latter lacks the purplish shading. But the Tepper specimen has a purplish tinge, and I have a Texas example that has as little. An expanse of 33 mm. is too great for the cotype and too great for any /igata known to me. The description is essentially that originally given by Mr. Grote. LEUCANIA RIMOSA Grote. Heliophila rimosa Grove, Can. Ent., XIV, 1882, p. 216. Leucania rimosa SmrrH, Bull. 44, U. 8. Nat. Mus., 1898, p. 189. Fore wings hoary gray, something like ligata in color; irrorate with dark speckles and with a faint warm shade, reminding one a little of unipuncta in these respects. Allied to commoides; no lines or spots visible except that there is continuous series of excessively minute sub- terminal dots, and the median vein is faintly marked with white and edged with black; the white color accentuated at base of third and fourth median nervules. Hind wings pale gray, whitish, veins soiled. Beneath a blackish shade marks the inception of the subterminal line on costa, and the median vein is shaded at base of nervules. Hind wings with costa darker; no lines or spots. Face and pectus a little smoky; fore tibiz pale outwardly. Thorax gray; abdomen paler. Expanse.—1.36 inches (84 mm.). Habitat.—Kittery Point, Maine. No one has taken this species save Dr. Thaxter, so far as Tam aware, and the original type is with him. A second specimen which he kindly sent me is smaller—only 31 mm.—and the longitudinal shading through the center of the wing is quite obvious though not conspicuous. I can not find anything to suggest commocdes. NO. 1283. REVISION .OF SOME NOCTUID MOTHS—SMITH. 191 LEUCANIA DIA Grote. Heliophila dia Grorr, Can. Ent., X1, 1879, p. 29; Ill. Essay, 1882, p. 56, pl. mu, fig. 19. Leucania dia Smirn, Bull. 44, U. 8S. Nat. Mus., 1893, p. 187. Ground color a pale reddish gray. Head and fore breast smoky tinged. Collar with a somewhat darker line across the middle. Thorax concolorous. Primaries without strong contrasts. Veins white-marked or at least paler, the costal region gray or whitish. Interspaceal rays not prominent or contrasting. Transverse posterior line punctiform. A series of very small terminal, interspaceal dots which may be wanting. A narrow pale line at the base of the fringes. Secondaries dirty whitish, almost uniform, veins a little darker. Beneath, primaries pale reddish gray, costal region whitish to a dusky blotch about one-fourth from apex. Secondaries whitish, powdery, a little darker and more powdery over the costal area. Eixpanse.—1.16 to 1.24 inches (29 to 31 mm.). Habitat. —California; Oregon. Three males and one female are before me. One of these agrees perfectly with Mr. Grote’s description. The second is more reddish and a little larger and agrees better with the picture in the ‘‘Tllus- trated Essay.” The others, from ‘‘ Middle California,” are somewhat darker and have the interspaceal streaking much better marked. The character emphasized by Mr. Grote in his description, i. e., the absence of a dusky shading along the median vein, loses force here, because, while it is by no means prominent, there is undoubtedly a smoky line on each side of the vein. The triangular dusky shading in the terminal area of the wing is also well indicated here. The heavily clothed quadrate thorax, as against the short, obtuse wings, gives the insect a peculiarly stumpy appearance. LEUCANIA MEGADIA, new species. Ground color a dirty reddish gray, tending to smoky. Head varies to rusty or smoky, as does the forebreast. Collar with a blackish central line. Thorax concolorous. Primaries with veins white, inter- spaceal streaks obvious and tending to become black beyond the trans- verse posterior line. The latter is punctiform and well marked. Median vein margined by smoky shadings above and below, forming a more conspicuous white dot at its end and usually emphasized there by black scales. A distinct black or blackish basal streak in the sub- median interspace. The costal region is usually paler gray. In the terminal area of the wings the dusky shadings are so disposed as to form a more or less obvious dark area over the internal angle and a trigonate shading below the apex. Secondaries smoky yellowish, nearly uniform. Beneath, primaries smoky reddish gray, disk darker 192 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. VOL, XXV. and at outer fourth a variably marked dusky costal spot; secondaries paler, the costal region black powdered. f Expanse.—1.12 to 1.36 inches (28 to 34 mm.). Habitat.—Calgary, Alberta, June 15 to July 20; Oregon (Koebele); Pullman, Washington, May 25 (Piper); Nevada County, California (Koebele); Yellowstone Park, Wyoming, July 10; Denver, Colorado, June 30; Chiricahua Mountains, Arizona, July 4 (?). This species has the body less robust and the wings broader than in dia, hence it looks decidedly larger, an appearance which was not borne out on actual measurement in all cases. The average runs only 1 or 2 millimeters larger. Sixteen examples, varying in distinctness; the Calgary specimens are probably all from Mr. Dod, the Yellowstone example is from Dr. Barnes. One example from Calgary is almost as even in color as da, but has the black basal streak obvious. This latter feature will serve to distinguish the two small species in the group without difficulty. There is a decided tendency to a red shading and one specimen is as red as any 7nsueta I have ever seen, the costa in this case being almost white. The single example from the Chiricahua Mountains isa female and in such condition that the reference is not positively made. Type.—No. 6249, U.S.N.M. LEUCANIA HETERODOXA Smith. Leucania heterodoxa Smiru, Trans. Am. Ent. Soc., X XI, 1894, p. 75, pl. v, fig. 7. Ground color a dirty luteous gray with a varying reddish tinge. The head may be either a little lighter or a little darker than the ground color. The tuftings of the front legs in the male are conspic- uously darker. Collar with a dusky or black median line either relieved by paler lines above and below, or with a second, less con- spicuous line just below tip. Disk of thorax and patagize powdery, the latter tending to a marginal line. Primaries obviously and often conspicuously streaked in the interspaces; the veins white or whitish. Median vein white, forming a white spot at its end, margined by a darker shading. The costal region is paler, sometimes a little con- trasting, until just before the apex. The transverse posterior line is a series of black venular dots, evenly curved and nearly parallel with the outer margin. The dark shading in the wing are above the anal angle and from the transverse posterior line on vein 2 or 3, obliquely to the apex. In some examples there is a costal shade before the apex and in some cases the apex is dusky. There is aseries of small termi- nal black dots. The fringes are dusky and have a pale line at base. Secondaries smoky or fuscous, fringes paler. Beneath powdery, vary- ing in tint. Primaries are from reddish gray to smoky and have a blackish costal spot toward apex.

A long series of examples is before me from all save the last two mentioned of the above localities. It establishes the species and illus- trates its range of variation, which is narrow. There is a very slight tendency to a reddish tinge, but nothing to cause confusion with énsueta, from which this species is also well separated by the absence of a black basal streak. In some examples the indications of such a streak may be made out by close scrutiny, but I have never found a case wnere there was enough to give any reason for hesitation. Aside from this it is a mere matter of lighter or darker, or more or less contrast, and this seems to depend somewhat on the age of the specimen. The sexual and other structural characters have been elsewhere defined. LEUCANIA INSUETA Guenée. Leucania insueta GuENEE, Spec. Gen., Noct., I, 1852, p. 81.—Watker, C.

This is a common species, hence my material is not especially good There are twenty or more specimens, but not well distributed as to locality and few of them ‘dated. It is probable that the species occurs throughout the Eastern United States, but may not extend far southward. The range of variation is much like that given for /eterodowra and is chiefly a matter of contrast. In some examples the base is quite a clear yellow and on this a deep rich red makes a striking specimen. In others everything is dull, or there isa grayish tinge. This is the only species in which an obvious outer line is usual on the under side. Mr. Strecker’s type is the usual Colorado form, in which the con- trasts are not quite so great. Yet he would hardly have made the error had he not placed it at once with commo/des as the closest ally. From that species it is, of course, easily distinguished. 194 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. VOL. XXV. | = == >= a LEUCANIA EXTINCTA Guenée. Leucania extincta GuENEE, Spec.

As to the latter, he may be right; the description being of a South American species did not require me to identify it. As to msucta he is surely in error, for I compared the examples in the Brit- ish Museum, and, in addition, the description does not fit at all. Guenée, who in all the other descriptions mentions the pointed apex of primaries and the very oblique hind angle, expressly states for ensucta that they are less sharp than in completa, with which he com- pares it. In addition, mention is made of the black basal streak, obvi- ous in /nsueta and absolutely wanting in ext/ncta. With a good example at hand it is simply impossible to mistake the species from its wing form and the gray strigation. But when the insect is a little rubbed, matters are not so easy. The characteristic wing form is destroyed by rubbed fringes; the gray interspacial lines are easily marred and there remains an almost characterless individual. It is in this way that M. Guenée fell in error. Enough has been said under the group heading to place the species on structural characters. LEUCANIA JUNCICOLA Guenée. Leucania juncicola GUENEE, Spec.

Except for two examples from San Antonio, they have State labels only, and not one has a date of capture. One female has a marked reddish tinge in the ground and the secondaries are almost uniformly smoky. The Florida example is more obviously streaked than the others, but differs in no further point. The ornamentation of the collar is the most characteristic feature of the species, and this tends to getting in red or scarlet in addition to or place of the black. LEUCANIA MULTILINEA Walker.

Phila., 1875, p. 419.—Srra, Bull. 44, U. S. Nat. Mus., 1893, p. 187, pr. syn. Ground color creamy yellow. Head immaculate. Thorax with three gray or blackish transverse lines, the upper one broadest. Disk of thorax and patagix a little black speckled. Primaries with veins white or whitish, the strigations in the interspaces dark and well marked. Median vein white, inferiorly margined by black or brown to the end. A black dot in the white area at end of vein. A smoky shade bases on vein + and broadens toward the apex, which it reaches on outer margin. A dusky shading over the subcostal region and another parallel with and close to inner margin. Transverse posterior line reduced to two dots. A series of small black terminal dots. Secondaries white, with small black terminal dots. Beneath, prima- ries faintly yellowish, the disk more or less blackish, veins more or less black marked; secondaries somewhat yellowish and powdery along the costa. Expanse.—1.30 to 1.40 inches (32 to 35 mm.). Habitat.—Miami, Palm Beach, Florida (Dyar); Harris County, Texas, August 10 (Barnes); Kansas (Snow); Albany, New York, June and July; Winnipeg, Manitoba (Hanham). A series of thirteen examples shows little variation, and among the strigate rather obtuse winged forms the pure white secondaries of both sexes make this easily separable. The only species with which it is likely to be confounded is juneécola, and that can be very easily determined if the material is at all good. LEUCANIA COMMOIDES Guenée.

A prominent black streak below the broadly white median vein. A black dot at the branching of the median vein. Veins narrowly white, and hence the costal region is a little paler. A black mark is on the inner marein near the base; another is in the submedian interspace toward the anal angle. Other black streaks are in the interspaces above vein 3, forming the base of a triangular dusky shade. Trans- verse posterior line punctiform, not well marked. A series of black terminal dots. Secondaries dirty fuscous, with pale yellowish fringes. Beneath, the sexual tuftings are discolored, brown. Primaries red- dish gray, powdery, a little darker on the disk. Secondaries whitish, with the costal area powdery, yellowish. Kxpanse.—1.40 to 1.50 inches (35 to 37.5 mm). Habitat. Nova Scotia; Canada; Winnipeg, Manitoba, July 2 (Han- ham); Maine (Fernald); Massachusetts; Albany, New York, June 22 (Bailey); New York, June to August; Wisconsin; Minnesota; [linois; New Mexico (Snow); Colorado; Florida in March. The species has a wide distribution, is not at all rare, and is easily recognized. The prominent black streak beneath the white median vein and the dark red color are distinctive characteristics. Add to this the prominent abdominal and leg tuftings of the male and the species becomes unmistakable. The leg tuftings are as follows: Anterior femora with a continuous fringing of hairy scales beneath, making a thick mass, but no tuft. Tibia with a thick outward scaling, but no tuftings or longer hair. Middle leg somewhat shortened, tibial spurs long, the inner curved and somewhat flattened. Femora with continuous dense fringing of long hair and scales, longer at base. Tibize with long hair tufts in front and at sides, capable of brush-like expansion; one at the side may be also capable of fan-like expansion. Posterior femora with long hair fringe basally. Tibize with longer hair outwardly toward base, but no brush. The harpes of the genitalia are densely clothed outwardly with long yellow hair, intermixed with broadly flattened scales. forming a mass that can be flufiily expanded, making neither a definite brush nor fan- like expansion.

Anterior crest and patagiw sometimes a little speckled with blackish scales. Prima- ries more or less obviously strigate, the veins white or whitish, inter- spacial narrow lines ranging from dull luteous to smoky or even blackish. Median vein obviously white, bordered on each side by a smoky or blackish shading, that beneath being the more prominent. At the end of the vein the white enlarges as it includes the base of the branches and here a black dot precedes and a blackish or smoky shade follows the branching, thus extending for a little distance the dark shading below the median vein. A vague triangular cloud is on the outer margin above vein +, extending to the apex, and a somewhat lighter shading extends from base through the cell, obliquely to the apex itself. A series of small black terminal dots is obvious in most specimens. Secondaries white or whitish, sometimes with a yellowish tinge, with a narrow smoky outer border and a series of terminal black dots, which, as a rule, are best marked where the smoky shading is best. Beneath, primaries creamy or reddish, powdery, tending to smoky on the disk; secondaries white except over the costal region, where it is creamy and somewhat powdery. Kxpanse.—1.28 to 1.52 inches (32 to 37 mm.). [labitat.— Canada to Florida, to Texas, to California; Iowa; Min- nesota; Illinois. The dates cover every month from March to October, inclusive. This is one of the most widely distributed, and, in a certain way, the most variable of the species. There are, obviously, two broods in the Middle Atlantic States, adults appearing in May and June and again in August and September. New Jersey specimens are before me for every month from May to October. In Florida and Texas the sarly dates are in March. Los Angeles, California, specimens are dated April. , Nearly forty examples are under inspection and in such variety that it would seem certain that they could be arranged in series of distinct forms, but I have failed on all bases tried. Some specimens are almost creamy yellow, without contrasts, the median vein hardly white, its blackish border hardly traceable. The primaries seem broader, the margins subparallel. Another series is obviously gray, with or without a reddish shade, the strigation obvious, the markings over the median vein conspicuous. Here the wings seem more trigonate and the apices more pointed. Then comes a series in which the primaries seem longer and narrower, the body slighter, color decidedly reddish fawn, the median dusky streak unusually prominent, and extending almost to the transverse posterior line; but when these extremes are carefully separated out, the remaining forms block out every gap and leave us with one series only. The differential points have been elsewhere brought out. Ft Nat Sk A Ak Meinl ae ds =. 4 *f — NO, 1283. REVISION GF SOME NOCTUID MOTHS—SMITH. 199 I can not place the variety ferana Morrison. — I have nothing so small as 29 mm. in expanse, and nothing in which the lines on the collar are not at least traceable. The essential differences as pointed out by Mr. Morrison are: ‘** They expand only 29 mm.; the collar lacks the black transverse line of the typical form; the ground color is clear and whitish, not becoming suffused with reddish or dark ochreous before the terminal space.” Mr. Grote in describing //gata refers to this variety as if he thought Mr. Morrison might have had such a form as his new species before him, but this seems hardly credible. LEUCANIA IMPERFECTA Smith. Leucania imperfecta Smirn, Trans. Am. Ent. Soc., X XI, 1894, p. 76. Ground color a dull luteous, shaded with smoky or blackish. The head may be of the pale ground or of the smoky tint. Collar with three purplish black transverse lines; patagiz blackish at base of primaries, tending to the pale ground on the disk. Primaries darker over the costa, through the middle of the wing, along the inner margin, and in the terminal space before the apex. This leaves the pale ground as a long shade through the cell from base to apex and through the sub- median interspace from base to the transverse posterior line. The shadings are all quite even and not obviously strigate. Median vein accompanied by a blackish streak which may or may not darken it to the end. At the branching there is always the angular white spot, emphasized by a preceding black dot. In one specimen the vein is narrowly white throughout. The other veins may or may not be partly white marked. There may be a series of small black terminal dots and a yellowish line at the base of the fringes. Secondaries, transparent, somewhat pearly white at base, the veins smoky or blackish; a somewhat diffuse, smoky margin, variable in width. Fringes with a yellowish line at base. Beneath, primaries gray, powdery, the disk tending to and sometimes all blackish. Sec- ondaries white, powdery over the costal and apical area. Eixpanse.—1.28 to 1.52 inches (32 to 38 mm.). Habitat. Santa Rita Mountains, Arizona, June 19 (Schwarz); Chiri- cahua Mountains, Arizona, June 26 (Hubbard); Wilgus, Cochise County, Huachuca Mountains, and southern Arizona (Barnes). Seven examples from so many localities in Arizona indicate that it is not really a rare species. There seems to be little variation except in size, and that is not sexual, since the largest and smallest examples are both males. In the male the sexual tuftings are not very prominent. On the anterior legs the femora have a moderate scale fringing at base, becom- ing shorter toward tip; the tibia is a little scale thickened outwardly. On the middle leg the femoral fringe is a little longer, the tibia is 200 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. VOL. XX. = decidedly thickened with long hair outwardly, not forming obvious tufts. On the posterior legs the femoral fringe is much longer and reaches almost to base; the tibiz have long thin hair which does not form tufts. The anal tuftings are not very dense exteriorly, but there are two pencils of yellow hair within the genital cavity. LEUCANIA ANTEROCLARA, new species. Ground color a very pale luteous, almost whitish or creamy. Collar paler with three more or less obvious transverse bands which tend to and sometimes are purplish. Primaries obviously streaky but vary- ing in the amount of contrast. Veins paler, the median whitish, as a rule, and 3 and 4 may be whitish for a part or all their course. A smoky or olivaceous luteous shading below the median vein. Discal dot a mere point which may be altogether absent. Transverse pos- terior line usually reduced to two black points, never complete. There is a very well-marked tendency to darker streaks above vein 4, em- phasizing the triangular dusky subapical shade. In some specimens a series of small black terminal dots is obvious. Secondaries white, with a pearly luster or yellowish tinge in the male, with a vague dusky outer shading, the veins dusky; in the female with a broader, smoky border and the entire wings tending to dusky. Beneath, primaries creamy to reddish, more or less powdery, the disk more or less blackish. Secondaries white, the costal margin creamy, powdery. Expanse.—1.40 to 1.56 inches (35 to 39 mm.). Habitat.—Calgary, Alberta, June 25, July 10, August 13 (Dod); Yellowstone Park, Wyoming, August, (Barnes); Corvallis, Oregon, July 6 (Cordley); Glenwood Springs, Colorado, June 10 (Barnes). Twenty-one specimens are under examination; all the females a little darker and more streaky than the males. The differences between this species and phragmatidicola have been already discussed. Comparing two series their distinctness is obvious; comparing selected individuals of each series the sexual characters might have to be resorted to. It is suggestive of a local form that I have no phragmatidicola from the range given for this species, nor any example of this species within the range given for phragmatidicola. In the male the anterior femora have long, scaly fringes more than half the distance from base; the tibiz are thickened with scaly ves- titure outwardly. Middle legs with equal femoral fringes for their entire length. Tibi with long hair, capable of partly fan-like ex- pansion in front and at the sides; the outer spurs short and cylindrical. Posterior femora fringed their full length, the fringe longer at base; tibie with somewhat longer thin hair outwardly. The harpes are clothed outwardly with dense hair and seales but these do not form prominent tuftings. Altogether the characters, while of the same type as in phragmatidicola, are very much reduced. | Type.—No. 6250, U.S.N.M. eee NO, 1283.

Median yein conspic- uously white; its branches (three and four) also white as a rule and, in addition, most of the other veinsare more or less whitish. A blackish or af least darker shade below the median vein and extending vaguely beyond it to form the usual trigonate subapical cloud. Discal black dot small or wanting. Transverse posterior line reduced to two dotlets or altogether wanting. Secondaries white or slightly yellowish, with a more or less obvious smoky margin. Beneath, primaries reddish gray, powdery, tending to a blackish disk. Secondaries white, costal region reddish, powdery. Expanse.—1.48 to 1.56 inches (37 to 39 mm.). Habitat.—Calgary, Alberta, June 20 to July 28 (F. H. Wolley Dod). _ Ten examples, all from Mr. Dod and all in good condition. This species is conspicuously different in color from the others of this series and is also the largest in average expanse. It is most nearly allied to anteroclara and is that species suffused with red. Whether it is merely a color variety or not I.can not now say. Nothing like it has come from other localities. Mr. Dod has sent me about twenty examples of both forms and there is no difficulty whatever in separat- ing the two. I prefer, under the circumstances, to risk the specific name until a careful study of the early stages determines the status of forms. Type. =No, 6243. US: N. M. LEUCANIA STOLATA Sm.th.

A less distinct brownish shade extends along the inner margin, and a vague smoky tinge is apparent over the costal and apical region. Between the veins, beyond the cell, are faint darker longitudinal brown lines, giving the wing there a feebly strigate appearance.” A series of small black terminal dots and a small dot at the end of the median vein.

Body rather elongate, tadpole-shaped, broad and depressed in front, covered by smooth, naked skin; mouth moderate; upper Jaw protrac- tile; teeth various, sometimes villiform, sometimes incisor-like, and posterior canines sometimes present; suborbital ring wanting; no bony stay from suborbital across cheek; opercle reduced to a spine-like pro- jection concealed in the skin; behind the angle of the large preopercle this spine sometimes obsolete; palatine arch considerably modified; pseudobranchiz small or wanting; gills 3 or 23; gill-membranes broadly united, free, or united to the isthmus; dorsal fin on the posterior part of the body, opposite to the anal and similar to it, both fins without spines; ventral tins wide apart, each with 1 concealed spine and 4 or 5 soft rays. Between and behind the ventrals is a large sucking disk, the ventrals usually forming part of it. No air-bladder; intestines short, pyloric ceca few or none; skeleton firm; vertebra 18 or 14+-13 to 22= 26 to 36. Carnivorous fishes of small size, chiefly of warm seas, usually living among loose stones between the tide marks and clinging to them firmly by means of the adhesive disk. Their relations are obscure, but they are probably descended from allies or ancestors of the Trachinide or Batrachoididee. a. Lepadogasterine.

Small fishes of the warm seas of Japan, apparently closely allied to the Lepadogaster* of the Mediterranean, but the latter has longer fins (D. 15 to 18; A. 8 to 14) and a different dentition, the very small teeth being in a patch in each jaw, and one row on the scales. In Mirbelia bimaculata, which has also very short fins, the teeth are in a villiform patch anteriorly, as in Lepadogaster. The genus Mirbelia was originally proposed for those species of Lepadogaster which have the caudal free from the dorsal and anal. (ao7ao pHa, an embrace.) a.

OBSERVATIONS ON THE CRUSTACEAN FAUNA OF NICKAJACK CAVE, TENNESSEE, AND VICINITY. By WitiraAm Perry Hay, Of Howard University, Washington City. I.—INTRODUCTION. During the summer of 1901 the writer was able to visit Chattanooga, Tennessee, for the purpose of examining certain caverns in that region and making collections of the crustacean fauna. Like most other parts of the country in which limestone abounds, the region is full of caves, some ten or more being easily accessible from Chattanooga. Of these only a few have been visited by collectors. Owing to lack of time the writer was forced to pay attention only to the better-known caves, a brief description of which follows. : Nickajack Cave is situated near Shellmound, Tennessee, a small sta- tion on the Nashville, Chattanooga, and St. Louis Railroad, about 20 miles southwest of Chattanooga; it may also be located about one- fourth of a mile north of the point where the south line of Tennessee is joined by the boundary line between Georgia and Alabama. Here is also the end of Sand or Raccoon Mountain, a long ridge, which for many miles separates the drainage basin of the Tennessee River from that of the streams which flow into the Gulf of Mexico, a broad, flat- topped ridge with a foundation of limestone and a superstructure of the sandstone. It rises rather abruptly from the narrow river valley to a height of over 1,700 feet. The mouth of the cave, which by the removal of a few trees has been made easily visible from the railroad, lies at the base of the north point of Sand Mountain, and the passage seems to extend straight back along the axis of the ridge. In size and impressiveness the entrance far sur- passes that of any other American cavern, and alone should make Nicka- jack a point of interest. It isabout 200 feet wide and 75 feet high from the surface of the cave stream to the ceiling. About half the width is taken up by the gorge through which the stream flows; the remainder PROCEEDINGS U. S. NATIONAL Museum, VoL. XXV—No. 1292.

The mouth of the stream is obstructed with great masses of rock, which make entrance at that point almost impossible. Taking the path on the left-hand side of the entrance, the visitor follows close to the wall for a distance of about 100 yards to the brink of asteep hill. Here the path divides, one branch leading down the hill to a flat floor only a few feet above the stream; the other still follows the wall and soon enters a crevice, which, in turn, leads to a laby- rinth of low, tortuous passages. From the labyrinth one may return to the main cave again by a rough climb over a great heap of fallen stone, the exit being into an enormous room 100 feet wide and long, and 60 feet high, in which hundreds of bats have congre- gated. From this room the path leads down the side of the rocky hill to the water’s edge and joins the other branch of the original path, which was left on the right on entering the labyrinth. From here on the cave is much smaller, the width has decreased to about 30 feet and the ceiling is little, if any, over 20 feet high. The cave stream so nearly covers the floor that one must walk close to the wall and from time to time cross the stream to find a path on the mud banks, which border it first on one -side and then on the other.

The stream here runs through a gorge made still more narrow by the fallen stone, which hes as if thrown down by some great convulsion of nature and seems ready to take another tumble if disturbed to the slightest degree. At one place the rock masses have blocked the stream so effectually thatitis impossible to get a boat around them, and beyond is a large pool too deep to cross by wading. ‘This room is practically a ee kh BE ha ee A "NO. 1292.

There is evidence on every hand that the cave is very old, and is now in its period of decline. There are no stalactitic formations of importance except at a point about LOO yards from the entrance where there is a large mound-like stalagmitic growth 6 or 8 feet high and perhaps 20 feet in diameter. In a series of pockets or basins on this stalagmite were found large quantities of *‘cave pearls,” rounded con- cretionary masses of lime which had formed in the disturbed water without becoming attached to the sides or bottom. In several places in the cave there are immense heaps of loose rock piled from the floor to the ceiling, and in some cases large blocks seem to have fallen quite recently. The cave stream, which has been already mentioned, flows through the entire length of the cave, so far as it is known, and is of practi- ‘ally uniform size and depth throughout. It receives no tributaries, but makes its appearance in the large pool at the end of the cave, apparently boiling up from beneath the rock wall, and flows toward the mouth of the cave with a good current. It is bordered first on one side and then on the other by mud banks, the side next to the bank being shallow, while the side next to the rock wall will average 3 or 4 feet in depth. The large pool just mentioned seems to be quite deep, but as it was not possible to launch a boat upon it it was also impossible to sound it. Two visits were paid to the cave, each extending over several days. At the time of the first visit, heavy rains having recently fallen, the yater in the cave was so high as to preclude the possibility of collect- ing. The net result of six days work was a single pair of blind cray- fish. The second visit, some ten days later, was more successful, as, the water having subsided, it was possible to get from one part of the cave to another and to work in the stream itself.’ Less famous than Nickajack Cave, but at the same time widely known, is a rather small cavern known as Lookout Cave, which runs for some distance back under Lookout Mountain. The entrance is reached from the Nashville, Chattanooga, and St. Louis Railroad tracks not over a mile from Chattanooga. The passage a short distance from the entrance becomes quite narrow, but a little farther on widens and becomes higher so that it is quite commodious. The route gradually descends to the level of the river outside and at last meets a small subterranean stream along which one can wade for some distance in either direction. I was able to visit this place but once and then found the water too muddy for successful collecting. In one deep hole, how- ever, I saw a very pale-colored salamander about 15cm in length. It may have been a larval form of some out-of-door species, but it looked Cope and Packard, The Fauna of the Nickajack Cave, American Naturalist, XV, 1881, p. 880. 420) PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. VOL, XXV. quite unlike any with which I am familiar. It swam away with such rapidity when I attempted to secure it that it soon disappeared in the muddy water. At Rossville, Georgia, I was able to penetrate a few feet into a small cave at the ‘‘ John Ross Spring.” At Shellmound I paid two visits to what is known as the Wine-house Cave, a treacherous hole of 85 feet almost perpendicular depth, filied with loose rock masses of all sizes. The passage at the bottom of the cave is very short, but contains sev- eral pools of water which will probably be found to contain about the same fauna as the stream in Nickajack Cave. During the interval between the two visits some collecting was done at Rossville, Georgia, and in the immediate vicinity of Chattanooga. The results of that work are included in this report. Il.—REMARKS ON ANIMALS, OTHER THAN CRUSTACEA. In addition to the light-colored salamander mentioned above I observed several other animals, which may be referred to here, as they will not find a proper place in the body of the paper. In the Wine House Cave I saw a small white fish which, from its actions, I took to be a blind species, but it was quite unlike Ambly- opsis and may belong to some unknown species. Here also I secured one specimen of the cave salamander, Spelerpes maculicauda. In Nickajack Cave there were hundreds of bats, and in their dung, which covered the floor and rocks in some places to a depth of several inches, I found numerous small Lepidopterous insects in appearance very like the ordinary clothes moth. Cave crickets (//Zadenwcus sub- terraneus Scudder) were common, but nowhere abundant. In the stream I noticed a few small minnows and many blobs (Coftus sp.). Here I also found a good-sized water snake (Vatria sp.) swimming about in a most confused manner. 1Am. Nat., XV, 1881, p. 880. es ee oe : NO. 1292.

First antenna more than half as long as the extended body; with a small secondary flagellum of about two articles; the flagellum is more than twice as long as the peduncle and composed of about sixteen segments in the male and twenty-nine in the female. Second antenna short, not half as long as the first antenna, flagellum not much longer than the second or third segments of the peduncle, composed of five or six articles. First pair of legs of the male with the carpus broad, triangular, and armed with numerous stiff hairs, most of which stand near the inferior angle. Propodus subquadrangular, broadest distally, and possibly a little produced at the inferior distal angle; inferior margin with a number of stout hairs; palmar surface with a deep groove, on each side of which are a number of strong teeth and stiff hairs. Dactyl curved and strong, as long as the palmar surface; in the female these parts differ in being smaller and less strongly armed than in the ‘male. Second pair of legs of the male with the carpus similar in general form and armature, but proportionally broader and stouter. — Pro- podus considerably larger than that of first pair of legs and elongate, twice as long as broad; the greatest width is at a point about one- fourth of the distance from the posterior end, and from this point the width of the segment narrows rapidly and nearly uniformly to the base of the dactyl; the superior margin is slightly convex; the inferior margin, the shape of which has already been described, is posteriorly provided with a considerable number of long, stout hairs, while the palmar surface, extending over two-thirds of the infero-anterior mar- gin, has a few bristles and ten or more strong teeth in two rows between which the dactyl can be closed; of these teeth the inferior one or two are much larger than the others; the dactyl is larger and stronger but less curved than that of the first pair of legs. In the female the second pair of legs is only slightly larger than the first pair, and the armature of the propodus is weak. The fifth, sixth, and seventh pairs of legs are strongly developed and bear on their posterior margins especially an unusual number of fine, hair-like spines. Epimera of the first four thoracic segments rather strongly devel- oped, the fourth being unusually large and quadrangular. Segments of the abdomen rounded above and without a trace of the spines characteristic of the genus. Telson divided nearly to its base, each division truncate, and with three or four rather stout spines.

Dr. Packard has called attention to the well-developed eyes; compared with other subterranean species they may be regarded as well developed, but when compared with the Gammarus in the pool just outside the cave their eyes are minute and not more than rudimentary. In the living animal a great variation was observable in the color, some being pure white while others were inclined toward the purplish spoken of by Packard. The original description of C. antennatus is here quoted, but it must be understood that the identification of my specimens with Packard’s species has been on account of the correspondence of his figure and type locality rather than the description. It isa large and purplish species; the first antennee very long; the flagellum with 20 to 24 joints; the entire antennze being over one-half and nearly two-thirds as long as the body; the last joint of the peduncle being slightly more than halféas long as the penultimate joint. Compared with C. gracilis Smith, from Lake Superior, it differs in the form of the eyes, the longer and stouter first antennee, the flagellum Fic.

It is prob- od ably a little larger species than C. gracilis, the specimens being 6 to 7 mm. in length; the eyes are not so distinct and are only one-fourth as large as in C. gracilis. I first met with this crustacean well within the cave and beyond the point where the last traces of daylight were visible. They were found ona piece of decaying wood, but, although a number were seen, they were so active that only a few were obtained for preservation. I afterwards found them in various parts of the cave stream, always on decaying wood. ; Although there are several rather important differences between my — specimens and the description of C. antennatum, | have no hesitation in regarding it as Packard’s species, as it agrees very well with the figures, but I find it must belong to the genus Wiphargus of Schiddte rather than to Crangonyu.

All these segments, like those of the first antenne, are plentifully provided with stiff hairs, and the segments of the fla- gellum bear, in addition, each a particular mushroom-shaped sense organ. First pair of legs of the male strong, but of slightly smaller size than those of the second pair. The carpus is short and broadly trian- gular; its distal margin, especially near the inferior angle, is abun- dantly supplied with long bristles. The hand slightly broader than the carpus, its superior and inferior margins convex, the palmar surface very oblique and armed on each side with scattered spines and teeth between which the dactyl closes; the bristles on the hand are most Proc.

The dactyl is about one-half as long as the hand, strongly curved and very acute. The second pair of legs differs from the first not only in size but in the shape of all the segments and their armature of hairs and bristles. The carpus is more perfectly triangular in profile, but has an almost exactly similar arrangement of bristles. The hand is somewhat quad- rangular; its superior and inferior margins are subparallel and the palmar surface is only slightly oblique; there are a few teeth and hairs at the sides of the palmar surface, another small bunch of slender hairs near the articulation of the dactyl, and a rather extensive patch of stiff bairs on the inferior margin. The dactyl is straighter than in the preceding appendage and more blunt. The other pereiopods are similar to those of the Gammaride except that the third and fourth are very hairy and the fifth, sixth, and sev- enth have the basal segments much narrower, broadest at the proximal end and gradually narrowing distally. Segments of the abdomen rounded above, the fourth, fifth, and sixth with the posterior margin slightly produced in three places—one in the middle and one very near the middle line on each side—and armed with three small clusters of spines. The spines of the middle clusters are rather smaller than those of the side clusters. Both rami of the posterior caudal stylets with many slender hairs but no teeth. Telson divided almost to the base; each division with a spine near the middle of the outer margin and a series of about five at the distal extremity. This species resembles Gammarus lémneus Smith, but has much longer antennx, larger eyes, differently arranged spines, and a differ- ent telson. Judging from Smith’s figure’ the posterior caudal stylets are much longer in G. /émneus. The second antenne of G. purpur- asceus have fewer segments than G. /imneus, but the difference is more than made up by the very numerous segments of the first antenne. The variation in the number of segments in the first antenne is apparently dependent upon sex and age; they are longest in fully adult males, slightly shorter in adult females, and shortest in the young, without distinction as to sex. I found this species quite common among the growing vegetation and decaying wood in a pool at the mouth of the cave. In color they were a dark purplish gray and their movements in the water were very quick, so that their capture was quite difficult. I also found them in the spring at Rossville, Georgia, but of smaller size and in fewer numbers. =< —————— ‘Rept. U.S. Comm. Fish and Fisheries, 1872-73, p. 651, pl. u, fig. 6. ; s No. 1292.

Similar to C. dartonz, but with broad, parallel sided, deeply exea- vated rostrum; the appearance of deep excavation being partially given by the unusually high elevation of the margins of the rostrum. The areola is narrower and more thickly punctate than in C. barton? bartond and the epistoma is triangular. The antenne extend almost to the end of the abdomen and the carapace is more nearly cylindrical. While, as in all the other subspecies of C. barton7, there is quite a little variation noticeable in this form, the characters given above will be found to hold good in the majority of cases. Intermediates with the Kentucky or Virginia forms must of course be expected. There are in the United States National Museum specimens of this subspecies from the following localities in Tennessee: Tennessee River near Knoxville and Coco 3 Balls Creek near Tazewell; Indian Creek near Cumberland Gap, ae Powell River at Tazewell. The latter, which have been selected as the types, have the characters of difference most marked. I found this crayfish in small numbers in the cold water flowing from the John Ross Spring at Rossville, Georgia. One large fem: ile carried young. CAMBARUS HAMULATUS Packard. The crustacean of the greatest interest to me in Nickajack Cave was the blind crayfish, Cambarus hamulatus, described by Packard.’ The first specimens were observed during my first visit to the cave; a male and a female about 45 mim. in length were found on a mud bank at the edge of the water. No more could be collected during the first week, fldiouah repeated search was made in all possible localities. At the time of my second visit to the cave, after the water had fallen and was clear again, a specimen was occasionally observed. But it was not until | began to look for them under the rocks in the cave stream that I found how common they were. They appeared habitu- ally to live under such, where they had scooped out a cavity in which to he and from which they seemed seldom to travel. When disturbed, if they sought to escape, it was by crawling away rather than by swim- ming, and they would seldom move more than «few feet. Most often, however, they would lie perfectly still, 2a after the cloud of mud Nae ceo baa Amer. Nat., XV, 1881, p. 880. 436 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. VOL. XXV. eaused by raising the stone had cleared away, they could be seen Lying quietly in their cavity or treading the mud to avoid being covered up. They were easily caught in the hands, as even after they had been touched they made no great effort to get out of danger. Indeed, in one case, I let a large specimen drop back into the water and a minute or so later found it lying at my feet; it had sunk like a stone and had not tried even to crawl away. They seemed to be totally devoid of the senses of sight and hearing, and the sense of touch did not seem to be nearly as well developed as in C. pelluctdus. I tried many experi- ments to determine these points, as well as those regarding the habits mentioned above. Asis well known, C. hamulatus differs considerably from (. pellucidus and is more closely related to such forms as C. bar- toni ov C. latimanus, which are surface dwellers and provided with well- developed eyes. Nevertheless, the general appearance is so strikingly like C. pelluc/dus that without a careful examination it would be exceed- ingly difficult to distinguish the two species. Compared with the two other blind crayfishes from this country, C. setosus and C. acherontis, the resemblance is less marked and the greatest difference is noticed between C. hamulatus and C. setosus. Yet C. setosus is the closest relative of C. hamulatus, while C. pelluctdus and C. acherontis, which are very dissimilar in general appearance, are closely related. These facts are cited to show that there are apparently certain characters in the crustacea which readily lend themselves to modification under sub- terranean influences, but which mean very little when it comes to detect- ing family, generic, or specific relationships or differences. Sense organs and color may change with such rapidity that the animal becomes a true spelean species before it is able to so change its habits as to become perfectly adapted toa subterranean life. Thus, I would regard the habit of living under stones of C. hamulatus and Cacidotea rich- ardsonx as a primitive instinct to which the animals cling in spite of the fact that it is useless. C. pellucidus is probably an older species and has adapted itself more perfectly to conditions in the caverns where no special concealment is necessary. As to the ancestry of C. hamulatus we would most willingly look to some species of the C. barton? group, which occurs in this region, and of the three which are known to occur, C. bartonz, C. latimanus, and C. extraneus, the latter is far more like C. hamulatus than either of the othertwo. There is, however, another species, C.jordani Faxon, which in some characters agrees still more closely with C. hamulatus, and its range is not so far away as to make it impossible that it will still be found in the same territory. .The wide and long areola, the lateral and branchiostegial spines of the carapace, the flat rostrum with lateral spines and long acumen, triangular epistoma, long antenne (even longer mm jordan? than in hamulatus), the shape of the antennal scale, the development of hair on the inner faces only of the third maxilli- NO, 1292. CRUSTACEANS OF NICKAJACK CAVE—HAY. 4d Co peds, and the long fingers are all characters in which the two resemble each other. They differ markedly in the shape of the carapace, areola, and hand, and the body and all the appendages in C. hamulatus are more elongate and slender. The characters of difference, however, are undoubtedly due to the subterranean influences and are to be explained as Dr. Lonnberg has explained the differences between C. archerontis and C. clark. Unfortunately we know only the second form male of C. jordani and any comparison of the rather peculiar annulus ventralis of the female of C. hamulatus with that of the other species is impossible. Of this species a series of twenty-six was obtained from Nickajack Cave and one specimen from a small cave known as Wine House Cave, about three-fourths of a mile distant from Nickajack. Altogether there are fifteen females and eleven males, and of the latter ten are in the second form and one first form. In size the specimens range from 17 to 65 mm. in length, both the extremes being found in the fe- males. Of the males the smallest is 33 and the largest 55 mm. long. Beker yo ee Very little variation is observable in this series, — or rresr rorm mace. and such as there is is confined to minute characters; thus, in some specimens the cervical groove is arcuate, in others slightly sinuate; in some the acumen of the rostrum is very slender, in others stouter. In the larger specimens there are two or three smaller spines, which are less developed or wanting altogether in the smaller specimens. The first form male, which has hitherto not been observed, differs from the second form in having slighly stouter chele, the hooks on the third pair of legs are much stronger (in some of the second form males they are wanting), the basal segment of the fourth pair of legs is perhaps provided with a little larger knob, the first pair of abdomi- nal appendages have the tips of the branches sharply recurved, the tips of the inner branch is slender, straight, and spiniform, and is directed backward at right angles to the rest of the appendage and a little outward; the outer branch is curved over the tip of the inner, it is thin and blade like and horny. CAMBARUS LATIMANUS STRIATUS, new subspecies. Type.—U.S.N.M. 25019. Nashville, Tenn. E. B. Williamson, collector. Dr. Faxon’ was the first to call attention to certain aberrant speci- mens of C. datimanus from Blount Spring, Cullman, and Bridgeport, 'Revision of the Astacidze, p. 69. 438 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM VOL, XXV. Alabama, and Ashland, Cheatham County, Tennessee, in which the areola is reduced almost to a line in the middle, the metacarapace is longer in proportion to the procarapace, the fingers are shorter, the tuberculation of the hand weaker, the epistoma narrower and less strongly truncate. Recent additions to the collection of the United States National Museum and the Museum of Comparative Zoology, of material col- lected near Nashville, Tennessee, by Mr. E. B. Williamson and a series of specimens collected by myself at Nickajack Cave show that we are dealing with a distinct geographical race of C. latiémanus, the range of which extends over fe eastern portion of Tennessee and northern portion of Georgia and Alabama. It may be described as follows: Similar to C. /atémanus, but with the rostrum a little more decurved and perhaps a little broader toward the tip. Suborbital angle rounded, branchiostegian spine developed, but very small, lateral spine of carapace usually represented by a denticle just behind the cervical groove. Areola linear, sometimes almost obliterated, its length equal to the distance from the cervical groove to the base of the rostrum. Epistoma triangular, not trun- cate, sides convex. Hands with one rather strong row of squamose tubercles along the inner margin and just above it another obscure row of much weaker tubercles, hand and, especially the fingers, deeply and roughly punctate, but not tuberculate, except as just men- tioned. The carpus commonly bears strong median and small proxi- mal internal spines and a rather blunt spine below at the distal border, but both this segment and the meros vary, as they do in the typical forms. The specimens from Ashland City, mentioned above, belong to this subspecies, and the others are, in various ways, intermediate between the typical C. datémanus and those just described. From a series sent alive to the United States National Museum the following color notes were taken, which are interesting in that they show that the same species may have at least two styles of coloration. The sexes were not distinctively colored and there was some variation in each style. In one, the ground color, in fact nearly the entire body was a clear sage green shading into dirty gray brown on the sides and tail fin and into very dark-brown black on the sides of the head. There were a few blackish shadings on the angles and inner surfaces of the meros, carpus, and chelipeds. The margins of the rostrum, postorbital ridges and the tips of all the spines on the chelipeds and the tips of the fingers were ochre yellow. Beneath, the color was of a uniform light gray. In the other style of coloration the ground color was a dark brown (near clove brown but not so red), becoming a little lighter on the head _— NO. 1292. CRUSTACEANS OF NICKAJACK CAVE—HAY. 439 and fading intograyishon the sides. Beginning at the cervical groove and extending the full length of the abdomen, but not including the _ telson was a conspicuous light-brown stripe, widest on the carapace and with irregular and poorly defined margins, but on the abdomen pretty well defined. In addition to the median stripe, the abdomen had on each side a lateral stripe, well defined along its inner margin, but of uncertain limits outside. There was a faint suspicion of rusty yellow on the sutures in the external blade of the tail fin and the spines of the body were white. Beneath, the color was very light vinaceous. In the summer of 1901 I found this crayfish in some numbers under the stones in a small pool formed by the stream issuing from Nickajack Cave. The males were all of the second form and both sexes exhibited the two-color phases mentioned above. Several of the specimens were brought alive to Washington, but most of them soon died. ‘Two, a male and female, survived several months, living in a small bowl in which the water was frequently changed and food supplied from time to time in the shape of bits of apple and shreds of meat. November 15 the female shed her shell, but did not exhibit a perceptible increase in size. December 20 the male shed his shell and came out as form I, but without a marked increase in size. It may be added that among the specimens collected at the mouth of Nickajack Cave, two of the second-form males had evidently shed their shells very recently; so, from evidence now at hand, it looks as if the second-form condition begins in August and lasts until December, but Iam inclined to believe that the specimen kept in captivity had its ecydysis somewhat hastened by the unnatural conditions. CAMBARUS SPINOSUS Bundy. Specimens of this species (Males f. II and females) were obtained from a small stream flowing from a pond which, in turn, was fed by the cave stream known as John Ross Spring near the town of Rossville, Georgia. They agree very well with typical specimens, except as regards the length of the posterior portion of the carapace, which is a little more than one-half as long as the distance from the cervical eroove to the lateral spines of the carapace. In habits they seemed to be very similar to ©. propinquus Hagen, living in shallow burrows in the soft mud, in shallow water, or in exca- vations under flat stones. A REVIEW OF THE BLENNOID FISHES OF JAPAN. By Davin Starr Jordan and JOHN OTTERBEIN SNYDER, Of the Leland Stanford Junior University. In the present paper is given a descriptive catalogue of the blenny- ’ like fishes (Blenniide and Anarhichadide) known to inhabit the waters of Japan. It is based on the collections made by the writers in the summer of 1900 for the museum of Stanford University and on the specimens in the United States National Museum. The accom- panying drawings are the work of Mrs. Chloe Leslie Starks and Capt. Charles Bradley Hudson. Family I. BLENNIID. BLENNIES. Body oblong or elongate, naked or covered with moderate or small scales, which are ctenoid or cycloid; lateral line variously developed, often wanting, often duplicated; mouth large or small, the teeth vari- ous; gill membranes free from isthmus or more or less attached to it; pseudobranchiz present; ventrals jugular or subthoracic, of one spine and 1 to 3 soft rays, often wanting; dorsal fin of spines anteriorly, with or without soft rays; anal fin long, similar to soft dorsal; caudal well developed. Vertebre in moderate or large number, 30 to 80; hypercoracoid (or ‘‘scapula”) perforate; shoulder girdle normally formed; suborbital without bony stay. Fishes of moderate or small size, mostly living near the shore in the tropical and temperate or arctic seas; most of them carnivorous, the Clinine, so far as known, ovoviviparous, the rest mostly oviparous. Dr. Gill divides the group into six families, but the relations of these are very close, and the distinctive characters of some of the families are subject to exceptions. I.

The spots in our specimens vary from 5 to 7. The dusky mottling may be absent from the body, or it may be very conspicuous, there being all gradations of color from one locality. Jordan and Evermann note the following variations: Ocelli 5 to 9, usually 6; dorsal 55 to 61, usually 58 or 59; anal 36 to 39 (including the spines which are counted as rays). Some specimens from Petropaulski Harbor (representing QO. reticu- latus Steindachner) have markings on the head and neck much like our O. zonope.

Grebnitzki. ) This species from Voleano Bay, near Mororan, may differ in the smaller number of dorsal spines and in the absence of dorsal ocelli. Not having examined the types, we are not sure of its distinction from Ph. dybowskii. The specimens are 141 mm. long, including caudal; 126 mm. to base of caudal. The head (22 mm.) is equal to the greatest depth of body. The eye is slightly longer than the snout and one-fourth as long as the head. The interorbital space is narrow, two-thirds of the length of the eye. The naked head resembles that of Pholis, its length is contained about 5} times in total length without the caudal. The mouth is small and very oblique; the mandible is slightly included and has a well-developed lip. The maxilla is partly concealed under the preorbital bone; it does not quite reach to below the anterior margin of the pupil. The anterior nostril is midway between the eye and the tip of the intermaxilla. Seven mucous pores around the No. 1293. JAPANESE BLENNOID FISHES—JORDAN AND SNYDER. 489 orbit; 3 on the preorbital bone. The pore in the origin of the semi- circular dark band around the nape is continued backward by a series of 6 similar ones, ending near the upper angle of the gill opening. A series of 10 or 11 pores, beginning near the front of the chin on each side, extending backward, and curving upward to the upper anterior edge of the operculum. The gill membranes are broadly united, but they are not joined to the isthmus. The dorsal origin is over the end of the head; the fin is low and consists of spines, the longest and strongest in the posterior third being slightly longer than the eye. The distance of the vent from the tip of the snout contains the head length 2% times. The anal is slightly lower than the dorsal, the rays longest posteriorly. The caudal is rounded, and is barely separated from the dorsal and anal. The pectoral base is broad, and the fin is two-thirds as long as the head. The intestine is slender and is more than twice as long as the head. Stomach short, pear shaped, with 6 slender, pyloric ceca of unequal length, the longest about twice as long as the eye. The body is completely sealed; the scales very small, cycloid, closely imbricated, with numer- ous concentric strie, and they extend halfway up the membrane, connecting the dorsal spines. The general body color is brown; the sides sparcely and vaguely mottled. The pectorals are pale. A narrow dark band extends from: the middle of the eye downward and forward, a similar band running backward from the eye on the preopercle; an interrupted semicircular band from eye to eye across the nape.

Head broader pos- teriorly than anteriorly, the posterior part being as wide as the first thoracic segment. Lateral margins have a deep and wide incision which separates the narrower anterior lobes from the widely expanded posterior lobes. The eyes are opposite these incisions. The frontal margin is produced in a small median point, on either side of which is a shallow Fic. 1.—MANCASELLUs depression, followed by another point, in turn Bea a succeeded by a slight depression. The antennulz are short, reaching only to the extremity of the fourth joint of the peduncle of the antenne; the flagellum contains eight joints. The antennx are very long, extending nearly the entire length of the body. The mandible is without a palp. The thoracic segments are subequal in length. The lateral parts are widely expanded, with lateral margins entire. PrRoceepinas U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM, VOL. XXV—No. 1294. 505 506 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. VOL. XXV.

By Harrier Ricnarpson, Collaborator, Division of Marine Invertebrates. Only one species of this genus is known, /’seudarmadillo carinulatus Saussure. The species herein described, to which the name 7?. gi///anus is given, was collected at Nueva Verona, Isla de Pinos, Cuba, by Messrs. Palmer and Riley. Only a single specimen was sent to the United States National Museum. Family ARMADILLIDID ®. PSEUDARMADILLO Saussure. PSEUDARMADILLO GILLIANUS, new species. Body strongly and thickly tuberculate. The thorax is armed with two longitudinal rows of long stout spines, each row being halfway between the median line and the lateral margin. On the seventh thoracic segment, however, the spines are closer together and are much longer. A long median spine is present on the fifth abdominal segment. The head has the anterior margin produced in three lobes; a median lobe, which is broad and roundly truncate, and two lateral lobes, broadly rounded. The posterior portion of the head bears . four prominent tubercles in a transverse series, the two outer ones being much larger and stouter, with broad bases. The eyes are black and distinct and are situated post-laterally. The antenne reach the middle of the first thoracic segment; the flagellum is two-jointed, the proximal joint being three or four times shorter than the distal one. The first thoracic segment is covered with small tubercles, except at the sides. The posterior portion of the lateral part of the segment is produced backward a little, the post-lateral angulation being rounded. The lateral border is curved upward, forming a slight concavity. On either side of the segment halfway between the median line and the lateral margin, and on the posterior part of the segment, is a long PROCEEDINGS U.S. NATIONAL MuSEuM, VOL.

The coxopodites are distinct the entire length of the first segment on the under side and each is in the form of a ridge, ending in a bifurcate tooth-like process. The second thoracic segment has the coxopodites of the under side in the form of tooth-like processes. The lateral spines of the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth segments form two longitudinal series, one on either side of the median line, halfway between that and the lateral margin, and in line with those of the first segment. The spines of the seventh thoracic segment are, however, much closer together and are also much longer. The seventh segment is produced backward about the center, so that it is longer at that point than at the sides. The lateral portions of the second, third, fourth, and fifth segments are drawn out in narrow rounded processes, slightly curving upward at their extremities. The sixth and seventh segments have the lateral portions drawn out in processes which are some- what truncate at their extremities. All these segments are thickly tuberculate except at the sides and on the anterior por- tion, where the segment artic- Fic. 1.—PSEUDARMADILLO GILLIANUS. x 5. ulates with the one immedi- ately anterior to it.

Eyes lateral, placed high; opercle much reduced; some of the bones of head usually with spines; preopercle not serrate. Post-temporal very firmly attached to the skull; lower limb adnate for its whole length; the distal end only of its upper limb is attached. The supra-clavicle short and trianglar, bearing a short spine near its anterior angle, its posterior edge divided into three spines, two or three of which stand out above the surface of the skin. Ventral edge often serrate, with strong bony plates. Lateral line well developed, concurrent with the back. Branchiostegals, 7 or 8.

The species undergo great changes in the course of development. The ** John Dory” (Zeus faber) is a well- known food-fish of southern Europe. The increased number of ventral rays and the armature of the belly in this family suggest relationship with the Berycoids; the adnate post-temporal suggests the - Chetodonts. We follow Mr. Starks in associating the Zezdw with the Cheetodonts, removing them from all association with the Scombroid forms, to which they bear only the most superticial resemblance. The actual place of Zevs in the system is still uncertain, but it should not be separated far either from the Berycoids or the Cheetodonts. a.

Species few, arranged in 2 genera, living in rather deep water. Capros aper, the Boartish, superficially resembles the John Dory, Zeus faber, and is common on the coasts of southern Europe. This family, like the preceding, is of doubtful affinities. It is only remotely allied to the Ze/dx, and it has no relationship to the Carangide or other Scombroid forms. Antigonia bears much super- ficial resemblance to the Aphippidex, a resemblance doubtless arising from real affinity, as is shown by the form and attachment of the post-temporal. An extinct genus, Proantigonia, is said to connect Antigonia with Capros. a, Lateral line complete. Body deeper than long, covered with rough scales. b.

Color in life salmon-pink, nape, back of head, and down ventrals deeper red, behind the bar from dorsal to ventral a paler shade; iris red; fins pale crimson, the caudal paler, with darker red tip. . This species is rather common in deep water about the Hawaiian Islands, specimens having been taken by Jordan and Evermann at Hilo, Kailua, and Honolulu. It has been once recorded from Japan and very well figured by Dr. Steindachner, who identified it with An¢7- gonia capros of the West Indies and Madeira. The two species are closely related, but apparently distinct. Antigonia rubescens is a very different fish from A. capros, as is also the Australian Antigonia milleri.

Total length 64 inches. Here described from specimens dredged by the U. S. Fish Commission steamer Albatross at Stations 3717 and 3730, in Totomi Bay. In young specimens the body is as deep as long without the caudal, and in an example 25 inches long from the Imperial Museum, taken at Misaki, the depth of the body exceeds its length. This species is found in abundance in the deeper parts of the Japa- nese bays. Our numerous specimens were dredged by the U. 8. Fish Commission steamer A/batross in Suruga Bay at Station 3707, at Sta- tion 3730, 34 fathoms, and at Station 3715 in 64 fathoms; in Totomi Bay, Stations 3734 and 3729 (34 fathoms). Another, taken at Misaki, was presented to us by Professor Mitsukuri. The fish is orange- scarlet in life, somewhat paleranteriorly. The species differs in many regards from Antigonia capros and A. ste¢ndachner’, notably in the much smaller number of dorsal and anal rays. Giinther, Steindach- ner, and most recent writers have confounded the two, Antigonia rubescens having remained unknown since the time of Schlegel. (rubescens, turning red.) Faminty Ill. PLATACID®.

This, the adult form, is well figured by Bleeker, differing from the young chiefly in the lower fins. This species, very abundant in the East Indies and along the southern coasts of China, is taken occasionally in the Kuro Shiwo off the coast of Japan. Besides a number of specimens from Formosa, we have a single one, obtained off Miyako in Rikuchu, in Northern Japan, pre- sented to us by Mitonobu Irako, director of the museum at Morioka. In the Imperial Museum at Tokyo are specimens from Tokyo, Kago- shima, the Riukiu, and the Bonin Islands. In the Imperial University is one from Okinawa and one from Kezen. According to Bleeker, this species is distinguished from //ataa ves- pertilio (Bloch) by its smaller scales. In 7/. vespertilio there are 20 to 25 scales between the lateral line and the first dorsal spine. The dorsal rays in the latter are about V, 36. (orbicularis, round.) Famity IV. CHASTODONTID 2.

Here described from specimens from Okinawa, Riukiu. Length 4 inches. This species is very abundant throughout the tropical Pacific Ocean from the Red Sea to the Hawaiian Islands. We have received 2 speci- mens from Nafa, in Okinawa, from Yonekichi Koneyama. Bleeker identifies Chaetodon setifer with Chetodon auriga without raising any question. But in Chetodon auriga the black dorsal mark- ing is not a spot, as in setifer, but becomes an ‘‘ oblique cuniform blackish band from the origin of the soft dorsal to the posterior part of the anal.” This certainly indicates specific distinction. Chetodon nesogallicus, also included by Bleeker-under Ch. auriga, has a broad band across the tail, the soft dorsal and the anal, with a white ring on the dorsal part. This is probably the young of auriga. The figures of Bleeker and Day represent Chetodon setifer, not Chetodon auriga. Cuvier and Valenciennes describe Cheetodon auriga as **a Cheetodon setifer without ocellus on the dorsal,” a difference which is probably valid for distinction. (seta, bristle; ero, to bear.) 8.

The above description from a specimen taken in Okinawa, Riukiu, 2;4; inches long. This species, very abundant in the East Indian Archipelago, and from the Red Sea to Polynesia, is known as a Japanese fish from a small specimen taken at Nafa, in Okinawa, by Yonekichi Koneyama, of Tokyo, and presented by him to the museum of Stanford University. Dr. Bleeker unites Chetodon pictus (=decussatus) with this species, stating that the black bands on dorsal and anal are sometimes widened, covering the whole fin. Our specimen is typical of Cheetodon vaga- bundus, agreeing with Day’s figure. (vagabundus, wandering. ) 534 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. VOL <2 i 9. CHAZXTODON COLLARIS Bloch.

Total length 542 inches. The above description from a specimen from Ikune, in Satsuma. This species is not rare in the warm waters about the headlands of southern Japan, from Tokyo southward. We have one example obtained by Professor Mitsukuri at Ikune, in Satsuma. Its distribution to the southward is uncertain, as it has been confused with a closely related species, Chetodon pretextatus Cantor (Tetra- gonopterus or Chetodon collaris of Bleeker, Giinther, and Day), which is probably also Chetodon reticulatus of Cuvier and Valenciennes. In Chetodon pretextatus, of which we have specimens from Formosa, the white stripe before the eye extends upward to the forehead, the dark streaks on the sides are more oblique and do not fork at the ends, and the ventrals are darker. Bloch’s figure plainly represents Ch. collaris, the white stripe before the eye being especially clearly shown. His specimen is said to be from Japan. The descriptions of veticulatus and pretextatus do not agree very well with our Formosan specimens. Perhaps we have three or more species of the type, perhaps one varying form. In any case col/aris is the earliest name. (collaris, having a collar.) 10. CHAZETODON MODESTUS Schlegel. YAKKODAI (KNAVE TAI? OR PERCH).

Anim., II, 1839, p. 215 (strigatus). This genus differs from Chetodon chiefly in the small scales, there being about 60 in the lateral line. The soft dorsal and anal are shorter than is usual in Chetodon, the fin formula of the typical species being D. XI, 17; A. III, 14. It is in fact doubtful whether the genus con- tains a second species, as the other species with small scales have the soft fins many-rayed and constitute Bleeker’s genus //em/iaurichthys (type, polylepis), which is apparently a valid genus.

Color in alcohol, dark above, head silvery white; the snout dark brownish and a dark brown band from one eye to the other across the forehead; a dark brown band from the first dorsal spines down the sides including the posterior part of the gill-opening, and the base of the pectoral to the belly, where it becomes broader and joining the one from the opposite side of the body; a white band of similar width behind the one just described, becoming very broad below, so that it extends over the first half of the anal fin; there isa second broad black band arising behind the tip of the fifth dorsal spine and extending obliquely across the body so as to include the posterior half of the anal fin; behind this the rest of the body is pale and silvery; the dark bands where they extend on the dorsal and anal fins, together with the entire ventral fins, are black. Length, 2% inches. Ina very young specimen the profile of the body above and in front is more obliquely inclined, and the brown bands are broader, the posterior occupying all the rest of the back and caudal peduncle; the large nuchal scales are well developed. Here described from Wakanoura examples. 544 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. VOL. XXV. The young of this species are frequently taken in the Kuro Shiwo off the headlands in southern Japan. No adult examples have yet been recorded, and it is probable that the species does not breed in Japan. It is a handsome fish and may be known at all ages by the produced dorsal spine. Our examples differ from the figures of Bleeker and Day in showing no black markings on the anterior part of the anal fin. Probably this coloration changes with age. If not, two distinct species may be con- founded under the name of //entochus macrolepidotus. Our numer- ous specimens, the longest less than 3 inches, are from Wakanoura and Nagasaki.

It is possible that the generic name Pomacanthus, Lacépede, should be used for this genus, as the first species placed in that composite group by its author is the Ohetodon canescens of Linnens. The name Zanclus occurs still earlier in Lacépéede’s work, but not in binomial form. It is, however, for reason of priority adopted by Bleeker. If, however, the first species named be recognized as the type of the genus, a rule the present writ- ers believe to be finally inevitable, we must substitute Pomacanthus for Zanclus.

Rocky shores throughout the Indian region from the Red Sea to the Hawaiian Islands, everywhere very common, occasionally northward to the projecting headlands of Japan. We have one adult example, described above, from Nafa, in Okinawa. Another adult is from Umesawa, and a young specimen from tide pools at Misaki. The species is very close to Zeuthis crestonis of the west coast of Misaki, and to 7euthis bahianus of the West Indies. Much of the synonymy of this species is very hypothetical. The oldest name applying to the species beyond a doubt is that of Acanthurus annularis. But there is scarcely any doubt as to A. matotdes, and A. annularis is apparently the young of the same species. The Hawaiian fish should therefore stand as Zeuthis argenteus. The Japanese form is apparently not different. (argenteus, silvery.) 22. TEUTHIS BIPUNCTATUS (Gunther). ?? Acanthurus nigroris CuvreR and VALENCIENNES, Hist. Nat.

We have also two specimens from Kotosho, Formosa, and of this or some closely related species from Hawaii. The species may be known by the black blotch in the axils of the dorsal and anal, in connection with the uniform blackish coloration. In the description of Acanthurus nigroris no mention is made of this very conspicuous character. It is not likely therefore that Valencienneys’s fish belonged to the present species.

Described from an example from Okinawa of the brown variety called Zebrasoma rhombeum. Of this species we have received one specimen, typical of Acanthurus scopas, from Nafa in Okinawa, where it was collected by Yonekichi Koneyama. The form known as Zebrasoma flavescens, bright lemon yellow in color, found at Hawaii, is considered by Dr. Giinther as an albino form of Zebrasoma rhombeum. On comparison of our specimen with those from Hawaii, we find no difference whatever except in color. Probably the typical jlavescens is found in deep water, the variety rhombeum living near the shore. Such variations from brown to yel- low are found in Siganus, Pelor, Antennaréus. and other genera.

Gill-opening very oblique, gill rakers short. Spinous dorsal more or less embedded in skin, its origin over that of the pectoral, the middle and last spines the highest, and much longer than the soft dorsal rays, which become gradually smaller to the last; anal spines graduated to the third, which is the longest though not as long as the longest anterior rays of the soft anal; the soft anal is similar to the soft dorsal; pectoral smaller than the head; origin of dorsal below the fifth dorsal spine, extending to the base of the second anal spine, and equal to two-thirds the length of the pectorals; caudal emarginate, the lobes pointed. Caudal peduncle rather thick, deeper than broad, and not quite equal to the eye. Sides of caudal peduncle with a single series of 4 bony bucklers, each with a produced median keel, compressed, extending outward, and largest on the last. Lateral line high, arched, and concurrent with the back. General color dusky brown in alcohol, the bases of the first 3 bucklers on the caudal peduncle blackish brown; the edges of the fins dark, except the very narrow white edge of the caudal, otherwise plain. Total length 9 inches. Here described from Nagasaki specimens. In very young speci- mens from Misaki the body is very deep; the depth 13 the length; the highest part of the fin rays very high; the general color dark livid brown; dorsal and anal very dark, the soft fins broadly edged with white; caudal and caudal peduncle light, shaded with dark at its base; pectorals dark; skin smooth. In still smaller specimens the body is deeper, 13 in the length, the second dorsal spine as long as the pectoral and very much higher than the rest of the fin, and the body furnished with many vertical striz; the trunk marked with narrow vertical bands. This fish is rather common about rocky headlands in southern Japan. Our specimens are from Tokyo, Misaki, and Wakanoura. From the tide-pools of Misaki we have a very large series showing the stages of growth of the young. These are more or less yellowish in color, the fins, except caudal and pectoral, dusky. The caudal is yellow, with a black crossbar at its base. The species can be known from the young of other Acanthur/de by the number of its ventral rays, anal spines, and the soft rays of its dorsal and anal.

The genus Acanthurus as founded by Forskal includes this genus and Zeuthis. The first spe- cies named by Forskal, wnécornis being taken as its type, Acanthurus becomes equivalent to Monoceros. If we follow the rule of allowing subsequent authors to fix the type, Acanthurus becomes, of course, a synonym of Teuvth/s, and the present genus must be called Monocerus. (axavia, spine; ovpa, tail.) 1'The definition of the supposed genus Keris applies to the young of Neswrus. (Ventral rays I, 5; anal spines 3.) But the figure of Keris anginosus does not sup- port the description, and the number of fin rays shows it to be the young of some Acanthurus. 2Cullicanthus Swainson, Class.

General outline transversely oval, with the posterior margin more or less straight for less than one-half the transverse diameter of the shell. On the pedicle valve the posterior margin is rounded in at the median furrow of the false area, and on the brachial valve it curves gently from the cardinal slopes to the beak. The pedicle valve is strongly convex, with the apex about one- fourth the length of the valve from the posterior margin. The crushed condition of the shells does not permit of decision as to whether the umbo or the apex is the most elevated part of the valve. False area defined by the incurving of the cardinal slopes so as to form a somewhat flattened triangular space that is divided midway by a rather strong vertical furrow. Foraminal aperture rather large and opening obliquely backward. The brachial valve is gently convex, with a minute marginal beak. Surface of shell marked by fine concentric striz and lines of growth, and possibly by fine radiating strie. I fail to find any traces of the ‘adiating striz on specimens that have not been distorted by pressure, and it looks as though all radiating striz and lines are the result of lateral compression of the shell. The average length is about 3.5 mm. and the width 4mm. Distorted shells give a length of 4mm. anda width of 3 mm. The cast of the interior of the pedicle valve shows a strong apical callosity, a fair-sized foraminal tube, large cardinal scars, and a small visceral areain front of theapicalcallosity. Dr. G. F. Matthew describes and shows on his illustration two *‘ minute muscular scars” close to the ‘Sumbonal tubercle” and on each side of the parallel striz.' I find on one specimen what may have led Dr. Matthew to believe there were such sears, but on many others quite as well preserved there were none such, and they are not known in any other species of the genus. Messrs. Hall and Clarke examined Dr. Matthew’s type material, and say that with the original material before them they were unable ** to distinguish anything more than the central callosity.” ° 1Trans. Roy.

The cast of the interior of the brachial valve shows a strong median ridge of variable length and size, large cardinal scars, and well-defined central scars. Observations.—Vhis species belongs with the series represented by A, sagittal’s and its varieties, and if uncompressed, nondistorted, well- preserved specimens could be obtained, it is quite possible that it would prove to be identical with A. sagittalis transversa. Dr. Matthew thinks it had a thinner shell; but that is not probable, as the apical callosity and cardinal scars of the pedicle valve, and the median ridge, cardinal and central scars of the brachial valve all indicate a shell quite as thick as that of A. sag/ttal/s and varieties. Dr. G. F. Matthew kindly sent me the type and study material of this species from his private collection. Formation and locality.—Middle Cambrian, Long Reach, Kings County, New Brunswick.

Nearly all the pedicle valves of this species are more or less com- pressed in the shale, thus decreasing the true elevation. Mr. Matthew illustrates a pointed high pedicle valve, but does not say whether the figure is diagrammatic. Some of the casts in the shale indicate a sharply conical pedicle valve. When the apex is broken off, the cast of a medium apical callosity is seen, with the base of the cast of a medium-sized pyramidal tube; the cardinal scars are smal] and nearly concealed by the cast of the strong main vascular sinuses. There is considerable range of variation in the size and length of the median ridge of the brachial valve. One specimen shows a strong median ridge, cardinal and central scars, and deeply excavated false deltidium. Surface marked by fine concentric striz and lines of growth and very fine undulating strie that give the concentric striz a fretted appear= ance when examined with a strong lens. The most nearly related species appears to be A. sabrine of the Shineton shales. Formation and locality.—Upper Cambrian, Barrachois Glen, 4 miles south of Little Bras D’Or Lake. Mr. Matthew’s types came from McLeod Brook, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, and he also identifies it from Div. C, 3c, at Navy Island, St. John Harbor, New Brunswick. Mr. 8S. Ward Loper found many specimens of several horizons in the shales on both sides of Barrachois River, near the Boisdale road, and for some distance north; also on the east branch of the Barrachois River, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.

The only pedicle valve is depressed by compression in the shale; it is transversely broad oval in outline, with the posterior margin nearly straight for a distance of two-fifths of the diameter of the valve; the false area fairly well defined by the abrupt incurving of the cardinal slopes; its median furrow is distinctly outlined, and it slopes forward to the apex, which is situated about two-fifths the distance from the posterior margin to the front margin. Foraminal aperture minute and directed upward from the extreme apex of the valve. Brachial valve gently convex. Surface of shell marked by fine concentric striz and lines of growth, and very fine, irregular, undulating strie that can be seen only by the aid of a strong lens. = A partial cast of a brachial valve from the same faunal horizon, about 30 miles distant, shows a well-defined median ridge and cardinal scars. This species is most nearly related to A. primeva of the upper Olenellus fauna, at Pioche, Nevada. It differs in having a less elevated pedicle valve and the most advanced position of the apex and foraminal aperture. All the five specimens known are also smaller than the average of A. primeva, the largest being 3 mm. in width and 2.5 mm. in length. Formation and locality.—Lower Cambrian shales, with Olene//us, on the divide between Clayton and Fish Lake valleys, north of Red Mountain, Silver Peak Range; also, 2 to 5 miles south of Barrel Spring and one-half mile east of road as shown on the map of the Sil- ver Peak quadrangle, Nevada. ACROTRETA CONCENTRICA, new species. Shell small, outline subcircular to transversely broad oval; apex of pedicle valve nearly concentric; false area indicated by a slight flatten- ing of the valve on the posterior side and a distinctly marked but very narrow median furrow. The elevation of the valve is about one- half its diameter. The brachial valve is slightly convex, and its cast is marked by small cardinal scars and a narrow median ridge that extends to the anterior third of the shell. A pedicle valve is 1.25 mm. in diameter, and one brachial valve is 2 mm. in length. This species occurs at about the horizon of A. kutorgaz, but is dis- tinguished from that species and all others by the concentric position of the apex of the pedicle valve. Formation and locality.—Middle Cambrian, shaly limestones on roadside between Dalton and Lafayette, Georgia. 584 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. VOL. XXV. ACROTRETA CONULA, new species. Shell small. Pedicle valve excentrically cone-shaped, with a broadly ovate transverse aperture. The apex is situated at the posterior fourth of the distance between the front margin and the posterior edge of the slightly indicated false area. A minute pedicle aperture occurs at the summit of the apex. Brachial valve convex with the minute beak at the posterior margin. The cast shows a well-defined median ridge with the central muscle scars well back on the valve. Surface marked by fine concentric striz and lines of growth. Formation and locality.—Upper Cambrian, Olenus truncatus zone, Oland, Sweden. ACROTRETA CONVEXA, new species. Shell small, subcircular, valves convex. Pedicle valve most elevated at the low apex which is above the slightly transverse posterior mar- gin. Brachial valve somewhat less convex than the pedicle valve, with its greatest elevation at the posterior third beak, minute, mar- ginal. Length and width of shell 1 mm. Shell substance very thin but not proportionally thinner than other larger forms. Surface marked by fine concentric striz and lines of growth. Casts of the interior of the pedicle valve show a minute apical cal- losity and cardinal scars. The cast of the brachial valve has a long median furrow and minute cardinal scars. This minute shell occurs in a fine-grained sandstone interbedded in the shales of the Upper Cambrian. It is characterized mainly by the convexity of the brachial valve and the low pedicle valve. Formation and locality.—Upper Cambrian, Gillis Hill, Salmon River, 13 miles south of Marion Bridge, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Collected by Mr. S. Ward Loper. ACROTRETA CURVATA, new species. This is one of the so clearly defined species that it is possible to illus- trate all that is known of it with the exception of the very fine con- centric surface strive. It belongs with A. ¢dahoensés and other species with a broad false area. It differs from described species in the incurved apex of the pedicle valve and the general aspect of the two valves. Formation and locality.—Upper Cambrian, passage beds between Cambrian and Ordovician near base of Pogonip limestone, Hamburgh Ridge, Eureka District, Nevada. ACROTRETA DEFINITA, new species. The false pedicle groove is very distinct and also broader than that of A. attenuata. The interior of the pedicle valve is beautifully shown by casts.

The cast of the brachial valve is also very instructive in showing the area, cardinal scars, median ridge, and central scars. Observations.—This large fine species differs from its nearest ally, A. ¢dahoensis, in the false area and the details of the arrangement of the vascular markings and muscle scars of the interior of the valves. The Idaho shells occur in a dark argillaceous shale and were collected by Mr. Spence, of Paris, Idaho. The Eureka, Nevada, specimens are from a shaly limestone.

Acrotreta gemma Briurnes, Pal. Foss., I, 1865, p. 216, figs. 201a-f. Original description.—Shell very small, about 1 line in diameter: one valve nearly flat and the other acutely conical. Dorsal valve very gently convex, nearly circu- lar; sides and front margin uniformly rounded; posterior margin very obtusely angulated at the beak, on each side of which a portion of the cardinal edge, equal to one-fourth of the whole width of the shell, is nearly straight; umbo very small; beak apparentiy depressed to the hinge line and not projecting beyond it; cardinal angles compressed, broadly rounded; a wide, shallow, mesial sinus extends from the front margin about halfway to the beak; elsewhere the valve is gently convex or nearly flat. Ventral valve acutely conical, with a flat triangular area which is perpendicular to the plane of the lateral margin, its base half the width of the whole shell. In the apex of this valve there is a minute circular aperture, and in one specimen a dark line extends from it down the middle of the area, which appears to represent the foraminal groove of this genus; but in two other specimens of the ventral valve, with the area well preserved, there is no indication of a groove. Surface with very fine concentric strive. Width of dorsal valve, about 1 line; length, about seven-eighths of a line. The height of the ventral yalve is about 1 line. The form of this species is very like that of A. subconica (Kutorga), but that species is twice the size of this and has the area distinctly grooved. Observations.—By the courtesy of Prof. J. F. Whiteaves. of the Geological Survey of Canada, I have had the opportunity of studying the type material of this species. Nine specimens of the pedicle valve were received, but none of the brachial valve, as they could not be found. One specimen in a dove-colored limestone appears to belong to a distinct species, which I have named Acrotreta ovalis. The remain- ing specimens show some variation in the angle of slope of the sides of the pedicle valve, but four of them are similar to the form illustrated by Billings. The broad false area with a scarcely perceptible impression of the path of advance of the pseudodeltidium is clearly shown in one of the 586 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. VOL. XXV. specimens, and faintly in others. Two shells have the apex broken off so as to expose the cast of a minute apical callosity and a small portion of the side of the cast of the main vascular sinus. A. gemma belongs to the A. subconica group of the genus, having a high pedicle valve and distinct and broad false area. It differs from AA. subconica in having a less elevated pedicle valve and in the apex being in front of the posterior margin instead of extending over it. With the forms from the Rocky Mountains that I identified with it there are no strong specific relations. A. attenuata has a high pedicle valve, but the false area is practically absent, a narrow deep sulcus taking its place. A. ¢dahoensis alta has the elevation and false area, but differs in the details of the area and the outline of the cross section of the pedicle valve. It was this form that led me to consider that 4. gemma occurred in Nevada, and with the slight knowledge that I then had of the genus and species a wide range of form was given to A. gemma. As far as now known to me, the species is restricted to the type locality. Formation and locality.—Lower Ordovician, limestone, North Table Head and Pistolet Bay; limestone point 4 miles northeast of Portland Creek, Newfoundland. ACROTRETA GRACIA, new species. Shell small, slightly transverse; apex of pedicle valve about one- third the length of the shell from the posterior margin; height about two-thirds the length of the shell; false area defined by the sharp rounding of the cardinal slopes and the transverse posterior margin, which is indented by the strong, broad, median groove extending from the margin to the apex, where it almost comes in contact with the minute apical foramen. Brachial valve moderately convex, with a nearly straight or gently curved posterior margin; beak minute, mar- ginal. Surface of shell marked by fine concentric strive and lines of growth. Shell strong, and built up of thin layers or lamelle that over the central and anterior portions are more or less oblique to the outer surface layer. The cast of the pedicle valve indicates a small but very clearly marked apical callosity; rather small cardinal scars and main vascular sinuses. The cast of the interior of the brachial valve shows a broad, low, median ridge extending to about the anterior third of the length of the valve; small cardinal scars and small main vaseular sinuses that arch inward after passing the central scars, and then outward. The area is very narrow, and broken midway by a rather wide, slightly arching false deltidium. This species is distinguished by the strong shell, broad median ridge of the brachial valve, and deep median groove of the false area of the pedicle valve. The light color of the shell may be owing to the char- NO. 1299.

Matthew describes and illustrates an Acrotreta from Hastings Cove as Linnarssonia belti magna that is characterized by a narrow median ridge in the brachial valve and other characters not present in 4. gracta. I found on Hanford Brook in the /’arodoxides zone numerous examples of a species of Acrotreta that appear to be identical with the form described by Mr. Matthew, and have referred it as a variety of Acrotreta sagittalis. Formation and locality.—Middle Cambrian, Paradoxides zone, Hastings Cove, Kennebecasis River, St. John County, New Brunswick. ACROTRETA IDAHOENSIS, new species. Acrotreta subconica MEEK, Sixth Ann. Rept. U.S. Geol. Sur. Terr., 1873, p. 463. Not Kutorga, 1847. The general outline, form, and convexity of the two valves are so fully shown by the illustrations for the monograph that detailed descriptions will not be given. The material for illustrating the interior of the ped- icle valve is limited, but one cast shows the position of the base of the cast of the foraminal tube and the large main vascular sinuses. An interior of abrachial valve presents characters rarely seen in this genus. The vascular canals arch out around the central muscle scars and then bend in toward the median ridge, and again obliquely outward to form the outer limit of a smooth, polished, lanceolate-shaped surface that extends obliquely outward from the median ridge. The line that extends from in front of the cardinal scars forward subparallel to the margin of the shell and then bends abruptly in and forward is apparently the outer boundary of a very broad, shallow, vascular sinus. Something of this same character occurs in the brachial valve of Obolus (Lingulobulus) spissus. The cardinal scars are small and situated close to the narrow area. A cast of the interior shows the central scars distinctly; also the presence of a thickening of the shell in the vicinity of the cardinal scars. Observations.—The external characters of this species suggest Acro- treta curvata, bat the elevation and curvature of the pedicle valve are not the same and the interior of the brachial valve is very distinct in its specific characters. There are no interiors of the form from the Black Hills, but the external characters appear to be the same. These include the broad false area, with its slightly marked groove, the posi- tion of the apex, and the curvature of the false area. Formation and locality.—Middle Cambrian.

VOL. XXV. ACROTRETA IDAHOENSIS ALTA, new variety. This is one of the forms that I included with Acrotreta gemma in the report on the paleontology of the Eureka District, Nevada. It has the broad false area of A. /dahoensis, but the pedicle valve is more elevated and the apex does not overhang the false area. From A. attenvata it differs in having a broad false area. Formation and locality.—Middle Cambrian, upper portion of Secret Canyon shales, Secret and New York canyons, Eureka District, Nevada. ACROTRETA IDAHOENSIS SULCATA, new variety. This strongly marked pedicle valve is associated with typical forms of the species, but in its rounded posterior side and strong median groove it is quite distinct.

Pedicle valve sub- conical, with the apex directed backward and usually on a line with the posterior margin, or extending beyond it, but it may be ante- rior to it; false area slightly defined by the abrupt curvature of the cardinal slopes; median line depressed, narrow, the two sides of the false area incurving to form to it; foraminal aperture longitudi- nally oval and slightly truncating the apex. Brachial valve gently convex, with a minute marginal beak. Surface of shell marked by concentric striz and growth lines, and fine, irregular, wavy striz that inosculate more or less, giving the surface a fretted appearance under a strong lens. The inner surface is marked by concentric lines, also rather strong radiating lines. The shell is built up of the thin, outer. ornamented surface and several thin inner layers or lamelle. The average length of the pedicle valve is + mm. and the width 3 to 3.5 mm. The brachial valves are usually wider than long. Casts of the interior of the pedicle valve show strong cardinal scars, a strong apical callosity, and rather weakly developed main vascular sinuses. The apical callosity varies in size and in form from elongate oval to subcircular. The cast of the interior of the brachial valve _ oa - "MPA « ae TA FSi = = e ie No. 1299. CAMBRIAN BRACHIOPODA—WALCOTT. 589 shows a broad, short median ridge posteriorly that extends beyond the center of the valve. Observations.—TVhis species appears to be a true Acrotreta with the apical callosity elongated by the elongation of the pedicle valve. The brachial valve is more convex than in most species of Acrotreta, which gives a stronger relief to the ridges on the cast between the cardinal scars and the median ridge. The posterior view should be compared with the same view of the brachial valve of Acrotreta sagittal/s and its varieties. The fretted surface is of the same type as that of several other species of the genus. Dr. G. F. Matthew had very little material when he described the species; subsequently he created the variety ova/7s, from a more elon- gated pedicle valve. In the collection made for the U.S. National Museum by Mr. S. Ward Loper there are a number of pedicle and brachial! valves. The range of variation in outline appears to cover the variety ova/7s. Some are more transverse than the original type of the species, and others nearly as elongate as the variety ova/is. I have therefore considered the variety as within the original species. Some of the shells show elongation, and others are broadened by distortion. - Dr. G. F. Matthew called attention to the resemblance of this species to Linnarssonia and Acrotreta, and when describing the genus Acro- thyra suggested that it might belong to that genus. It appears, how- ever, to be a true Acrotreta. A series of specimens supplemented by the types and a number of pedicle valves received from Dr. Matthew, which he had provisionally identified as ** Acrotreta gemma Billt,”?* show a rather remarkable variation in outline and position of the apex of the pedicle valve. The narrow forms, var. ova/7s Matthew, have the apex extended beyond the posterior margin, and in the broad forms the apex is above or in advance of the posterior margin, but if the shells are compressed vertically the apex may be pushed out over the false area whether the shell be narrow or broad. I think that in the normal form the false area is vertical or slightly inclined backward. Formation and locality.—Middle Cambrian, division 1b of Mat- thew’s section, Hanford Brook, New Brunswick. ACROTRETA KUTORGAI, new species. The external characters of the pedicle valve are clearly exhibited, and what is known of the interior, by a unique specimen, as it is the only one known to me that clearly shows the true area and pseudo- deltidium of the pedicle valve. The corresponding portion of the brachial valve is well defined in the casts. The median ridge is as long proportionally as that of A. b7secta, and, like it, varies in length and size in different shells. ‘Trans. N. Y. Acad. Sci., XIV, 1895, p. 126. 590 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. VOL. XXV. The outer surface is marked by fine concentric striz and lines of growth. Observations.—This pretty species occurs attached to the surface of siliceous nodules in association with Olenoides curtice, Crepicephalus tecanus, Acrothele bellula, and casts of Medusa. The outline of the convexity of the valves and the posterior view of the pedicle valve is most like that of A. attenuata, but the interior markings are quite unlike. Formation and locality.—Middle Cambrian. Siliceous nodules in Coosa shales, Coosa Valley, 3 miles south of Gadsden, and near Che- pultepec on road near Wades Gap, Alabama. Rogersville shale, Rogersville, and north and south of the town, Tennessee. ACROTRETA MICROSCOPICA MISSOURIENSIS, new variety. The shell is uniformly larger than the Texas shells and the vertical median line of the false area is more depressed and distinct. Some of the specimens of the pedicle valves beautifully illustrate the effects of compression. One shell is like that of Acrotreta attenuata, and another resembles the low form of A. opAirensis with the apex overhanging the false area. The surface of the shells embedded in a very fine- grained sandstone has a papillose surface resulting from the indenting of the shell by the grains of sand, while those from limestone are marked only by fine concentric striz. Formation and locality.—Middle Cambrian, in sandstones of the conglomerate series, St. Francois County, and in thin-bedded lime- stones south-southwest of Potosi, Missouri. ACROTRETA MICROSCOPICA TETONENSIS, new variety. This neat little shell possesses the characters of A. mécroscopica and A. ‘dahoensis, but differs from both by the projection of the apex of the pedicle valve over the false area.

It occurs in immense numbers in limestone lentiles of the Para- doxides davisi zone of Newfoundland. It is also very abundant at Hastings Cove.

General outline transversely broad oval, sometimes nearly circular, with the posterior margin slightly indented midway on the pedicle valve by incurving to the false pedicle furrow. The pedicle valve is convex and moderately elevated, the highest point being in front of the foraminal aperture at about one-third the diameter of the shell. Foraminal aperture large for the size of the shell and opening either directly or obliquely backward. One specimen shows a short, narrow area, with a triangular false pedicle furrow crossing it; false area scarcely detined by the cardinal slopes, which incurve very gently; median furrow well defined, rather strong, and nearly flat on the bot- tom, the margins being sharply outlined in many specimens. The shell sometimes curves over the false area so that the depressed apex extends slightly beyond the posterior margin, but usually it is directly on the line of the posterior margin or a little in front of it. Longi- tudinal diameter of average size pedicle valve 3 mm., with a length of 2 mm. to 2.5 mm.; elevation 1.5mm. A few shells have nearly the same length and width. The convexity of the brachial valve averages 0.75 mm. The minute beak of the brachial valve curves down to the posterior margin from the somewhat elevated posterior third of the valve. Surface marked by fine concentric strive and marked lines of growth whicn occasionally form concentric ridges. The shell is built up of a chin outer layer and numerous thin inner layers or lamelle that are oblique to the outer layer over the central and outer portions, the obliquity increasing toward the outer anterior and lateral margins. The interior of the pedicle valve shows a rather strong apical cal- losity that extends nearly to the posterior inner margin of the shell; distinct but relatively small cardinal scars, and narrow main vascular sinuses that may be traced nearly to the antero-lateral margins of the valve; the outlines of the visceral cavity are indicated on one well- 592 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM.

The Hemibranchs show relationship with the Percesoces' in having the parapophyses developed on all the abdominai vertebra; in having the supraclavicle, when present, small; in not having the exoccipitals united above the basioccipital; and in having the'supraclavicle, when present, reduced in size. /%stularia and Aulostomus have processes running backward from the epiotics, which are strikingly similar to the epiotic processes possessed by all the Percesoces. Though they serve the same purpose (that of muscle attachments) in both, they are somewhat different in character, being in the Percesoces processes from and of the epiotics, while in the Aulostomoidea they are joined by ligaments to the epiotics. The Hemibranchs easily stand apart from the Percesoces in having no opisthotics and usually no parietals; in having the post-temporals simple, not typically forked; and in hay- ing the postciavicle composed of a single piece when present (com- posed of two pieces in the Percesoces). Dr. Gill in his excellent paper,’ though evidently having few inter- nal characters at his command, has left little to be added in the arrange- “ment of the Hemibranchiate famities. Gasterosteus and closely related genera are the most generalized of the Hemibranchs. They are the only ones in the group having the following typical characters: Anterior vertebree unmodified; suspen- sorium and mouth normal; ribs typical; post-temporal approaching the normally forked condition, and parietals present (the last.a super- family character. ) Dr. Gill* has pointed out how the tube-mouthed forms have de- scended in an unbroken line from Gasterosteus through Spinachia and the family Aulorhynchide, these constituting the superfamily Gas- terostoidea. The Gasterostidee and Aulorhynchidee should perhaps be regarded as a single family, but following the lead of the above authority, they are here kept separate, though the latter family is regarded ‘*‘ simply as a convenient one at the most.” Between the other families occur wider gaps, that are more or less difficult to span. The Fistularidee and Aulostomide are well placed in the same super- family. They show in a marked degree how two families of undoubt- edly close relationship having many characters in common can still ‘In each of these characters Sphyrena is excepted. It seems to be a very much more generalized form than the other members of the Percesoces. ?On the Mutual Relations of the Hemibranchiate Fishes, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 1884, p. 154. $Proc.

It certainly is not so highly specialized as the Aulostomid families with their anterior vertebre and parapophyses ankylosed; their weak or absent spinous dorsal and their peculiarly modified basioccipital condyle. It seems well placed above them, having a well-developed spinous dorsal and the anterior vertebrae, but slightly enlarged and normally articulated. The family Centriscidee shows evidence of having come from some- where along the Macrorhamphoside stem, but so far back and along such different lines that the evidence is not satisfactory. It is much more highly specialized. DIAGNOSIS OF THE HEMIBRANCHII.

THE SHOULDER GIRDLE IN DETAIL. > THE **INTERCLAVICLES.’ The so-called interclavicles are here considered apart from the other parts of the shoulder girdle for purposes of closer comparison. They may have been of different origin from the hypocoracoids, but if so they have lost all trace of ever having been a separate ossitica- tion. We can no more consider them as separate elements than we can divide other bones which are of both cartilaginous and dermal origin, and call each part by a different name. It is not true, as has been supposed, that all of the members of the order Hemib ranchii have a differentiated part to the hypocoracoid. In Gasterosteus the part termed interclavicle by Parker,’ as seen externally, is the ganoid plate which bounds the lower edge of the silvery area in front of pectoral. (A process from the clavicle bounds it above.) It shows no sign of ever having been an ossification sepa- rate from the hypocoracoid. It is attached to the clavicle above, arch- ing away from it and attached again at its lower end, thus inclosing an open space between. This is the typical arrangement of the hypo- coracoid. The interclavicle may have been a plate of dermal bone that has become fused with the cartilage bone of the hypocoracoid beneath, but there seems to be no more necessity for giving it a sepa- rate name than there is for giving a separate name to the ganoid proc- ess from the clavicle. In Avlorhynchus the lower outer edge of the hypocoracoid turns over slightly and forms the ganoid line which shows externally along the lower part.of the side in front of the pectoral. This can certainly not be considered an interclavicle, and yet it differs but in degree from the interclavicle of Gasterosteus. In /istularia the interclavicle is the plate seen externally along the side of the breast and belly. It is larger than in any other member "Structure and Development of the Shoulder Girdle, Ray Society, London, 1867, Proc. N. M. vol. xxv—02——-40 626 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. VOL. XXV. of the group. It runs forward to the lower end of the clavicle and attaches by simple suture, as the lower end of the hypocoracoid usually does. Posteriorly it runs far backward. It appears as a process from the hypocoracoid, there being no suture between them; ridges and internal plates of bone are continuous between them. We can but wonder why, if of dermal origin, it has not fused to the clavicle as well as to the hypocoracoid, the former a bone supposed to be like it, of dermal origin. In Aulostomus there is a process extending backward from the hypo- coracoid, which for most of its length is broken up into fine bristle- like filaments. It does not appear at all externally. In Macrorhamphosus there are no interclavicles, unless the series of bony plates along the median line of the breast and belly be consid- ered as such. They can certainly not be considered homologous with the parts so termed in (/asterosteus and Fistularia. In the new genus .Zoliscus Jordan and Starks, typified by Amphisile strigata, there is no part homologous with the interclavicles of the other forms, unless the posterior part of the hypocoracoid, which is partly divided from the anterior part by the encroachment of the lower actinost, be considered as such. THe SHOULDER GIRDLE OF (GASTEROSTEUS CATAPHRACTUS. GASTEROSTEID ®., The elements of the cranium are typical in number and arrangement except the opisthotics are absent. The parietals are widely separated by the supraocciptal. On the superior surface the epiotic articulates to the supraoccipital, the parietal, and the pterotic. On the posterior subvertical surface it articulates to the pterotic, the exoccipital, and the supraoccipital.. The pterotics form the outer lower angle of the cranium. The articular facets of the exoccipitals are on a level with the middle of the basioecipital. The concave ‘* centrum,” of the basi- occipital is exceedingly deep. The post-temporal is a wide, nearly flat, ganoid bone, joined firmly and broadly (but not by dentate or inflexible suture) to the epiotic and pterotic. From its lower inner edge it sends a lower fork along the under part of the pterotic to where that bone joins the exoccipital, or to the place where the opisthotic typically is. The supraclavicle is represented by a very small scale-like bone which is interposed between the clavicle and post-tempo ‘al, but not suspending the clavicle lower than it would be were it attached directly to the post-temporal. The upper end of the clavicle turns backward around the hypercora- coid foramen. It shows exteriorly as a triangular ganoid plate behind the post-temporal, bounding the upper part of the round, naked space in front of the pectoral. The lower part of the clavicle runs obliquely downward and forward. xo.1301. OSTEOLOGY OF HEMIBRANCHIATE FISHES—STARKS. 627 The hypocoracoid is attached broadly to the clavicle above, arches away from it, and returns to its lower end, inclosing a triangular space. Its lower ganoid part, the ‘* interclavicle,” is rough on the outer sur- face, but not otherwise differentiated from the rest of the bone.

The hypercoracoid is assisted for a short space anteriorly by the clavicle in inclosing the large hypercoracoid foramen. The actinosts are very small, about as wide as long, and have no openings between them.

AULORHYNCHID®. The posterior elements of the cranium resemble Gasterosteus in being more typical in arrangement than in other examples of the order. The pterotics form the outer lower angle of the cranium, and the articulations of the epiotics are the same. There is but a single plate joining the clavicle to the cranium. It is one of the series of lateral line plates, bearing a tube continuous with the lateral line sensory system, and it is in no way differentiated from the rest of them. It is attached to the cranium over the pterotic Fic. 2.—LEFT SHOULDER GIRDLE OF AULORHYNCHUS FLAVIDUS FROM OUTER SIDE. a, ACTINOSTS; cl, CLAVICLE; hyoc, HYPOCORACOID; hypc, HYPERCORACOID; Wp, LATERAL LINE PLATES; p, POSTCLAVI- CLE, AND pt, POSTTEMPORAL. and the epiotic. Over its anterior end is a small bone bearing a branched tube of the sensory system, which directs one branch along the pterotic and another over the occipital region. It is typical in shape and function of the supratemporal. The upper part of the clavicle turns backward in a triangular proc- ess as in Gasterosteus. The lateral line system of bones is attached along its upper edge and is continued backward along the side of the body. The lower part of the clavicle is slender and is inclined obliquely downward and forward. The hypercoracoid foramen is bounded for a very short space along its anterior side by the clavicle, xo.1301. OSTEOLOGY OF HEMIBRANCHIATE FISHES—STARKS. 629 The hypocoracoid is a very slender, widely forked bone. Its upper fork is attached above the middle of the clavicle, inclosing a large triangular space between. Its outer lower edge turns over slightly and forms the slender ganoid line along the lower part of the side in front of the pectoral. The actinosts are very small, semiquadrate, and without openings. One and a half of them are attached to the hypocoracoid, two and a half to the hypercoracoid. THe SHOULDER GIRDLE OF AULOSTOMUS VALENTINI. AULOSTOMID®.

It is anterior to the exoc- cipitals, which form, with the basioccipital, a posterior projection. The exoccipitals project downward on each side far below the condyle of the basioccipital. They meet broadly above the foramen magnum. The post-temporal is not united with the cranium. It is a large ganoid plate seen externally behind the head, above and anterior to the triangular ganoid portion of the clavicle. It lies rather loosely against the cranium, over, but scarcely in contact with, the pterotic and epiotic. From its inner surface it sends a fork which rests rather loosely behind the part of the exoccipital that projects below the basioccipital. The supraclavicle is absent. The clavicle is a rather heavy triangular bone, as viewed from the outside. The anterior edge which borders the branchial cavity 1s 630 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. VOL. XXV. straight. From its anterior inner part a plate of bone folds back to support the hypo and hypercoracoid. The latter is a thin plate, not strongly ossified. Through it and entirely within its edges is a very large fenestre, which from the outer side seems to be partly inclosed by the clavicle, as the hypercoracoid is attached flat against the inner surface of that bone. The hypocoracoid is attached along its entire anterior edge to the clavicle without leaving the usual opening between. The lower edge is thickened and extends backward as a long process, which, growing thin posteriorly, is divided for most of its length into many bristle-like filaments. The three lower actinosts are long and rod-like, with large spaces between them. The second and third are somewhat closer together than the others. The fourth is smaller, and is articulated closely against the upper outer end of the hypercoracoid. Two of them are above the hypercoracoid and two above the hypocoracoid. The postclavicle is a broad triangular-shaped bone, with a process running obliquely from the upper corner for articulation with the clavicle, and the posterior corner prolonged into a long ray of bone. THE SHOULDER GIRDLE OF FISTULARIA PETIMBA. FISTULARIID#., The post-temporal is united to the cranium by dentate suture, form- ing an outer produced angle on each side wholly posterior to the pterotic.

Though the post-temporals appear to play an important part in forming the cranium when viewed from above, they form no part of the cranial wall, being only thin sheets of bone attached at their lat- eral and anterior edges. Were they removed the remaining elements would bear about the same relationship to each other as they do in the cranium of Aulostomus. xo.1301. OSTEOLOGY OF HEMIBRANCHIATE FISHES—STARKS. 631 The supraclavicle is a short, scale-like bone, setting low on the clayi- cle, simply serving as a septum between the clavicle and post-temporal, and not suspending the former lower than it might be were it articu- lated directly to the post-temporal. The clavicle is a complex bone, bending backward at its upper end to support the long simple postclavicle, which appears exteriorly as the upper lateral plate behind the head. It (the clavicle) borders nearly half of the fenestre, which typically is through the center of the hypercoracoid. It sendsa wide process from its middle directly below this fenestre backward and downward to the hypocoracoid. Its lower end is straight, running obliquely forward to where it joins the lower end of the hypocoracoid (‘‘interclavicle”), leaving an open space behind and between the forks of the hypocoracoid. The hypercoracoid is little more than a rod of bone forming some- what more than half of the fenestre, between it and the clavicle. It strongly resembles in shape and position the long, slender actinosts. The first pectoral ray works directly on it, as usual, and from this fact and its appearance one not knowing the cartilaginous origin of the bone might conceive the possibility of the hypercoracoid having orig- inated from an actinost. This fancy is perhaps disturbed by the fact that the upper actinost is attached to its upper outer edge. The other three actinosts are attached to the hypocoracoid or end in cartilage over it. THE SHOULDER GIRDLE OF MACRORHAMPHOSUS SAGIFUE, (NEW SPECIES. ) MACRORHAMPHOSID. The cranium is wedge-shaped as viewed from above. Posteriorly it is abruptly vertically truncated. The epiotics reach to the posterior edge of the cranium, and, bending sharply over, show about half of their surface above and half posteriorly. The post-temporal is small and conical and ankylosed to the cranium, forming the outer lower angle. Onsthe lower surface of the cranium it articulates with the exoccipital at its inner edge, and with the pterotic anteriorly; on the posterior surface, with the exoccipital and the epiotic; on the superior surface with the pterotic anteriorly, and with the epiotic at its outer edge. The supraclavicle is so closely attached against the outer upper part of the clavicle that it is difficult to make out. It scarcely rises above the head of the clavicle. The line of bony plates along the upper part of the sides is continu- ous over -the clavicle, with a ridge on the post-temporal and the pterotic. These are doubtless homologous with the lateral line plates of Aulorhynchus. A broad, thin plate projects backward from the middle of the inner edge of the clavicle and supports the hypercoracoid and the upper 632 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM.

It laps over the hypercoracoid and bor- ders the anterior half of the hypercoracoid foramen, as seen from the outer side of the shoulder girdle; but as seen from the inner side, the hypercoracoid entirely incloses its foramen, protecting it anteriorly, however, by a very narrow margin. The postclavicle is a long, simple ray of bone carried by a project- ing plate from the upper end of the clavicle. The hypoclavicle is a very wide, thin plate, with an anterior rod of bone reaching to the lower end of the clavicle and inclosing a large fenestre. From just in front of the lower actinost a straight ridge Fic. 5.—RIGHT SHOULDER GIRDLE OF MACRORHAMPHOSUS SAGIFUS FROM OUTER GIRDLE.

The lower actinost is very much enlarged. It cuts a large space from, and continues down over the outer surface of, the hypocoracoid nearly to its middle. It ends ina sharp point. The others are some- what pointed below, and grow smaller upward. There is a raised condyle on the hypercoracoid resembling the heads of the actinosts for the first rays of the pectoral to work on. All but the lowest actinost are attached to the hypercoracoid. xo.1301. OSTEOLOGY OF HEMIBRANCHIATE FISHES—STARKS. 633 Tue SHOULDER GIRDLE OF ALOLISCUS STRIGATUS. CENTRISCID &. The shape of the cranium resembles that of Jlacrorhamphosus, being wedge-shaped as viewed from above and vertically truncated pos- teriorly. On its superior surface are five narrow wedge-shaped bones. The longest is the supraoccipital. About half of its length separates the posterior part of the frontals. On each side of it are the epiotics, of the same width but shorter. Anteriorly they cut a V-shaped piece out of the end of each frontal. The posttemporals are the most lateral and the shortest of these bones. They cut a V-shaped piece from the ends of the pterotics. On the superior-lateral surface of the cranium they are remote from the epiotics, but on the posterior surface they send a process up to them.

The articular facets of the exoccipitals are at the extreme lower part of the cranium below the middle of the basioccipital condyle. The exoccipitals show no tendency to approach and join over the basioccipital. The myodome appears to be wholly absent. The supraclavicle shows externally as a long, narrow, ganoid bone, extending horizontally. It is enlarged anteriorly and is concave at its end for the reception of the end of the posttemporal. It laps over the edge of the clavicle somewhat and is firmly attached by a simple suture. Directly above is a somewhat similar ganoid plate attached along the edge of the supraclavicle by a smooth inconspicuous suture. It extends farther back than the supraclavicle and appears to be one of the series of lateral plates. Both it and the supraclavicle attach by dentate suture to the wide lateral plate behind it. Above these are the median plates of the back. 634 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. VOL. XXV. The clavicle shows externally as a wide triangular plate reaching nearly to the pectoral, its anterior end descends bordering the gill opening as usual. From the inside the clavicle appears about three times longer than deep. From the inner upper edge a thin plate of bone turns down to the hypercoracoid. The hypercoracoid does not nearly contain its foramen, but is assisted above by the inner plate of the clavicle. A simple postclavicle is attached to the posterior end of the clavicle directly above the hypercoracoid. It is a very slender ray of bone bending sharply down to a level with the lower pectoral ray and thence reaching horizontally far back and ending as a fine filament. The hypocoracoid is a nearly square thin plate, with a slender process running from its lower anterior corner at a right angle with its anterior edge to the lower end of the clavicle. From its upper posterior corner obliquely toward the lower anterior corner the lower actinost cuts in and subdivides it. The upper ray of the pectoral works directly upon the hypercora- eoid. Three of the actinosts are borne by the hypercoracoid and one by the hypocoracoid. All of the inner elements of the shoulder girdle are extremely thin delicate plates, but slightly ossified, and generally strengthened by - osseous ridges. NORTH AMERICAN PARASITIC COPEPODS OF THE FAMILY ARGULID®, WITH A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE GROUP AND A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF ALL KNOWN SPECIES. By Cuarirs Brancn WI1son, Department of Biology, State Normal School, Westfield, Massachusetts. INTRODUCTION. The present paper is the first of a series, now in course of prepara- tion, on the parasitic copepods, based primarily on the large collee- tion of this interesting group belonging to the U.S. National Museum, which has been placed in the author’s hands for study. The great majority of the specimens came originally fromthe U.S. Fish Commis- sion, and in addition all the unassigned material at the disposal of the Commission was turned over to the writer by Dr. H. C. Bumpus and Dr. Hugh M. Smith, to be added eventually to the National Museum collection. To Dr. Bumpus the author is also under obligation for the innumerable facilities in the way of collecting and studying living material which are always attendant upon a summer spent in the U.S. Fish Commission laboratory at Woods Hole. Further acknowledgment is made of much valuable assistance ren- dered by Dr. Smith, who has placed every facility at the author's dis- posal, particularly of the inland stations of the U. 5. Fish Commission, where no work of the kind has ever been done before; by Prof. Jacob Reighard, director of the station at Ann Arbor, Michigan, who dis- covered the new species Argulus americanus, and who has spared no pains to secure just the material asked for, and finally by Mr. Vinal N. Edwards, whose ability as a collector has placed so many other investigators under obligation. Hence while these papers are to be primarily reports upon the National Museum collection, it is purposed to combine with them the notes and results obtained from the work at the U.S. Fish Commis- sion, and to add also considerable that has come through private research, in order that they may be made as complete as possible. Since this is the first attempt made in America upon this great crus- tacean group, it will, even at its best, of necessity be found deficient. PROCEEDINGS U.S. NATIONAL Museum, VOL. XXV—No. 1302 635 636 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. VOL. XXV. HISTORICAL. In compiling the bibliography here presented it was quickly found that but a single species, the European Argulus foliaceus, had been studied at all completely. In fact, with the exception of three papers, one by Dana and Herrick (1837), another by Thorell (1864), and the third by Kellicott (1877), all the work done outside of mere system- atic enumeration and description of species has been upon this one form. From it has been obtained practically all the knowledge hitherto possessed of the ontogeny of the entire group, with its important bearing upon their systematic position. Dana and Herrick (1837) do picture a larval Avgulus catostomz, but the accompanying description is so brief as to have very little practical value. And Kellicott’s interesting description of a larval Argu/us (1880) had the misfortune to be published in a periodical that died at the end of the first volume, so that it has remained virtually unknown. Moreover, both A. foliaceus and A. catostomi and Kellicott’s A. stizostethii are fresh-water forms, and hence absolutely nothing has been known of the development of the large salt-water representation of the group, which, as we shall see, is very similar to that of Kelli- cott’s species. While it does not change the accepted ontogeny in any of its great fundamental principles, it will be found to be radically different in many of the details. Although the entire group was thus for a long time represented by the single species, yet such a meager representation was more than offset by a remarkably wide distribution. A. foliaceus was found quite commonly throughout the larger part of Europe, and quickly became well known. Singularly enough, sub- sequent discoveries have brought to light only two other European species. All the rest of the group, with some exceptions, have been found in American waters, and since the four new species here recorded are also American, it seems as if Kroyer’s original statement that the great American continent is the proper habitat of the Argulide were likely to prove true. But since more than half the entire group and eight out of the thirteen North American species are marine, Thorell’s notion that this family is partial to fresh water must be set aside. These facts ought at least to correct such statements as that made in Parker and Haswell’s Text-book,’ that Argulus ‘tis an external para- site on fresh-water fishes—carp, stickleback, ete.” In the face of such facts it is all the more remarkable that no Ameri- can zoologist has ever investigated the group. Dana and Herrick (1837), Kellicott (1877 and 1880), Gould (1841), and Dana (1852) have each described new species. The first three 1 First volume, p. 531. No. 1302. AMERICAN PARASITIC ARGULIDA— WILSON. 637 descriptions are well written and quite complete, but the other two are almost worthless. Afterwards Dr. S. I. Smith, in the Inverte- brates of Vineyard Sound (1874), described three new species and mentioned two of the others as probably occurring in the vicinity. These six descriptions, with an annotated List of Described Species, by Richard Rathbun (1884), comprise all the American literature upon the family. No one since Jurine’s day (1806) has compiled a bibliography of the Argulide, and but once (Thorell, 1864) has there been any attempt to present a review of all known species. These facts at once warrant the following attempt, and guarantee that it will be of necessity more or less defective. But it is hoped that it may be of service as a basis for future work.

ECOLOGY. The problems of parasitism and its attendant degeneration are among the most interesting in the whole realm of ecology, and nowhere can they be studied to any better advantage than among the parasitic copepods. We can find here every grade of parasitism and can easily follow the resultant effects in the habits and morpholgy of the parasites themselves. There are forms like Avgudus which not only move about all over the body of their host, but also change frequently from one species of fish to another, and can even leave their host at will and swim about freely, sometimes for several days, before returning. Retaining thus completely their powers of locomotion we should not expect nor do we find in them any degeneration, but rather such Proc. N. M. vol. xxv—02——41 642 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. VOL XXv. a modification of the various organs especially used in parasitism— e. g., organs for clinging to their host, for piercing after blood, ete., as will the better adapt them to their specific use. Then we find forms like Ca/igus which roam about freely oyer their host’s body but do not apparently leave it voluntarily, though they can swim well enough when compelled to do so. Here also we should not expect any marked degeneration, but rather a more complete adaptation of the various organs. The first evidence of degeneration in this genus lies apparently in the inclination toward free swimming and not so much in the ability to perform it. In these two large genera, Argu/us and Caligus, the males and females differ but slightly, and in some species of Argulus they may even be approximately of the same size. The fact that the Argulide do not carry their eggs about with them tends still farther to eliminate the sexual differences, while in the Caligide the presence or absence of the long egg pouches with the attendant modifications of structure constitute the chief sexual distinctions. Not so, however, in forms like Pandarus, for here both sexes usually fasten themselves in one place and remain there fora long time. They are also so dissimilar in habits and structure that the males have been hitherto placed in an entirely separate genus (ogagus), and the two sexes have been proved to belong to the same species only by being repeatedly found in actual coition. As is usual in such cases the female is the more degenerate and can only crawl about slowly; she is so heavy and clumsy that she can not swim at all. Here then is evidence of structural degeneration, not very marked as yet, since fully developed swimming organs are retained though they can not be used in the adult state. The male Pandarus, on the contrary, not only retains the locomotor structures but can use them, being able to swim about freely whenever occasion demands. Again there are forms like PAdlicthys in which both the male and female have become practically incapable of locomotion, but are still found free in the mucous canals and sinuses of fishes. In them the locomotor organs are markedly degenerate having dwindled to mere stumps without joints or sete. And, finally, we find forms like Chondracanthus, Anchorella, and Lernea, in which the female is absolutely incapable of motion, being fixed in one position for life, while the male has dwindled to a mere pigmy adherent to some part of the female’s body. The male can still move about somewhat but the female has lost all trace of every append- age except those which serve to fasten her to her host. It is purposed in these papers to bring out as fully as possible such interesting gradations, the present paper, of course, being confined to the Argulide. NO. 1302. AMERICAN PARASITIC ARGULIDA— WILSON. 643 These are wholly external parasites, and though sometimes found upon the skin or the fins, they are usually confined to the branchial cavity of their host. They may be sought on the inner wall of the operculum or in the shallow pocket behind the posterior gill arch, but are never found upon the gills themselves except through accident. They cling to their host by means of the anterior maxillipeds which are modified for this purpose into sucking disks, somewhat similar to those upon the arms of Cephalopods. And by asort of walking motion of these same suckers they are enabled to scuttle about quite rapidly over the fish’s skin so long as it remains moist. But they are unable either to fasten themselves to, or to make any progress over, a dry sur- face. The posterior maxillipeds are also modified into clasping organs armed with hooks at the tips, spines, and sete along the sides, and a large plate on the basal joint whose surface is usually raised into rough papille, and whose posterior edge is furnished with three stout spines whose chief use seems to be to act as a firm brace while the pointed proboscis is being thrust forward into the flesh of the host in order to draw blood. And finally the basal joints of the anterior antenne are developed into a pair of enormous curved hooks which assist somewhat in holding the Argulus to its host. But their chief use is apparently to keep the anterior edge of the carapace firmly in position while the proboscis is being worked. Whether the Argulus remain upon the outer skin or in the branchial ‘avity it is continually subjected to considerable friction as the fish moves about through the water, especially if its host happens to be a fish of rapid movements, and there is an absolute certainty that it will be washed off if its hold is loosened for ever so short an interval. To lessen the friction as well as to get the full use of its grasping organs, the Argulus (and the same is also true of the Caligide) always takes a position with its own longitudinal axis parallel to that of its host, and its head pointing in the same direction. In this position all the grasping organs just mentioned work together to prevent any slid- ing backward over the fish’s skin. In addition, the lower surface of the carapace, more particularly at the anterior margin and along the edges, is quite thickly studded with short triangular spines, which point downward and backward, and catch firmly in the skin of the host. At the bases of both pairs of antennz, and in many species, just behind the mouth and between the bases of the second maxillipeds are paired spines much larger and stouter, which evidently serve a similar purpose. Though there may be little evidence of degeneration in these Argu- lids, therefore, there are abundant modifications to suit their acquired parasitic habits. Upon the death of its host an Areulus leaves the body at once if it be in the water and swims about actively in search of a new victim. 644 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. VOL. XXV. If the fish has been removed from the water the parasite usually remains within the branchial cavity since this retains moisture longer than any other portion of the external surface. It is no uncommon ‘thing to find them alive there several hours after the fish’s death. Upon remoyal to an aquarium the Argulids are found to have retained their locomotor ability to a greater degree than any other group of the parasitic copepods. And there is no distinction of sex in this, for males and females alike swim about with as much freedom and as great rapidity as any of the so-called free copepods. And their sucker feet enable them to rest by attaching themselves to the sides of the aquarium, to stones, alow, or any other convenient surface, instead of by balancing after the manner of Cyclops and allied forms. In swimming, the four pairs of legs are used as the propelling agents, and are provided with a fringe of long plumose setz for that purpose. The abdomen is elevated at an angle of about 45 degrees with the plane of the body and seems to serve somewhat as a rudder, but the most of the steering is accomplished by a flexion of the thorax on the head carapace. The result is an easy gliding motion, wholly des- titute of the jerkiness so characteristic of free copepods, and more resembling that of Artemia and Branchipus. They usually move with sharp turns in nearly every direction, often making a complete summersault, or turning upward and scuttling along back downward on the under side of the surface film of the water after the manner of some snails, But though their ordinary motion is slow and easy, they can dart about with considerable rapidity upon occasion. The length of the plumose sete on the swimming legs seems to determine in great measure the rapidity of movement. In some spe- cles (laticauda, versicolor, etc.) the sete are long and stout, while in others (niger, alosx, etc.) they are short and weak. It follows that the former species are capable of much more rapid and energetic motion than the latter. In an aquarium these Argulids seldom exhibit the disagreeable pro- pensity shown by the Caligids of crawling up as far as possible on the sides of the aquarium above the surface of the water and remaining there until dead and dried up. On the contrary, they are easily kept in confinement and make docile and highly interesting laboratory material. As a natural consequence of its freedom of motion, an Argulus is not as closely confined to a single species of fish as are the other copepod parasites. This fact is very apparent from an examination of the list of hosts following the description of each species (p. 704). It is to be remembered in this connection that our knowledge of these American forms is as yet extremely meager. When some of them come to be known as well as the European A. foliaceus, the ———— No, 1302. AMERICAN PARASITIC ARG ULIDA— WILSON. 645 host list will probably approach more nearly to the fabulous length which it has reached in that species, and may even include frog tad- poles or salamanders. At all events, it is pretty safe to predict that future observations will swell the list of hosts for nearly every species. Not merely is the same species of Argulus found upon many differ- ent kinds of fish, but even the same individuals must of necessity fre- quently change their host. This follows as a result of their habit of ego laying. Unlike other copepoda, the eggs are not carried about in sacs attached to the body, but are fastened to stones, to the bottom, or to any convenient surface. This necessitates the desertion of its host by the parasite during the period of egg laying, with little chance of ever finding it again, and with at least the possibility that another fish of the same species can not be found at once. This is especially true of the males, which are very ardent during the breeding season, as noted long ago by Jurine (1806), and often leave their host to roam about insearch of a female. This desertion of the host at the spawning time is also confirmed by the origin of some of the material now under consideration. The types of Professor Smith’s new species are all recorded as taken apart from fish, two specimens of A. daticauda from among alge in August and another taken in a tow net early in September; a single specimen of A. /atus taken in a tow net at the surface July 1, and three specimens of A. megalops, also in a tow net, July 8 Again, A. foliaceus is reported as having been found among Anacharis in a canal near Edinburgh, Scotland, on August 26. Six of the seven specimens were roaming about free, while the seventh was attached to a stickleback (1895). And finally, the actual voluntary desertion of their host has been observed several times in aquaria, not merely when the Arguli were harbored by a different species of fish from that upon which they were found, but also when host and parasite were not separated at all, but placed in the aquarium together (1880). To be sure, even in the latter case, the surroundings were more or less artificial, but it hardly seems as if they could be enough so to account wholly for the restlessness exhibited by the Arguli. The fish very quickly quieted down and acted ina perfectly normal manner. That the parasites did not become equally quiet renders it very probable that there must be some founda- tion for such nomadic habits in their ordinary behavior under normal conditions. It is not to be inferred, however, that an Argulus has no preference in the choice of a host. On the contrary, it is probable that, like other parasites, each species prefers a certain kind of fish, or at the most a few different and probably closely related kinds. 646 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. VOL. XXV. But we may reasonably infer that, after withdrawal from its host for the purpose of egg laying, if an Argulus is unable to find another fish of the same species it is willing to take almost any temporary host obtainable, transferring afterwards as opportunity offers. In confir- mation of such an inference the following experiments were made on A. catostomi and A. versicolor for fresh-water forms and on A. Jati- cauda and A. megalops from salt-water fishes. 1. A. catostom7 is usually found upon the common *‘ sucker,” Catos- tomus commersoni? (Lacépéde), from which it was originally obtained and named, but it also occurs, and in the author’s experience even more abundantly, upon the chub sucker, A7rimyzon sucetta oblongus (Mitchill). It was desired to keep some of these parasites through the breeding season and also to ascertain, if possible, how they find and attach themselves to their host. But suckers are large and clumsy fish, difficult to transport, and requiring large aquaria. Added to this is the fact that the easiest method of obtaining them at the season when the Arguli are breeding is by spearing, and that this usually kills the fish. For these reasons they were removed from the suckers and trans- ported to the laboratory in jars. It was evident, however, that they could not be kept for any length of time without a host, and accord- ingly several species of fish were tried, the sunfish (Lepomis gibbosus Linnzeus), the dace (Votropis megalops Ratinesque), the yellow perch (P. flavescens Mitchill), and a species of minnow, locally known as the ‘*mummichug.” When the fish were placed in the aquarium, the Arguli very unexpectedly paid no attention to them and did not appear to recognize their presence in any way, and yet several days had elapsed before the fish could be obtained, and the parasites must have become quite hungry. But they continued swimming about in their usual lazy, erratic fashion, often passing very close to one of the fish, but never seeming to realize that it might become a possible host, until they actually ran plump into it. Then, however, they made up for lost time, fastened themselves to the fish’s body instantly, and eagerly sought for a place to pierce the skin and obtain some blood. On these small fish the bases and surfaces of the fins (including the tail), and the thin skin under the throat were favorite localities. They stopped at one of these places long enough to obtain a good meal and then passed for- ward and tried to crawl beneath the operculum. If they failed in this on account of the small size of some of the fish they seemed content to remain upon the external surface, and in this way specimens were carried successfully through the breeding season and a fine lot of eggs obtained. There was no hesitation in attaching to any of these fish, and there seemed to be no choice between the species. ee No. 1302. AMERICAN PARASITIC ARGULID AW WILSON. 647 2. A. versicolor lives upon the pickerel, Lucius reticulatus Le Sueur. Here again we have a fish so large as to be difficult of transportation alive, and very troublesome to keep in captivity. But even the attempt was rendered impossible in the present experi- ment by the fact that the fish from which the parasites were obtained were taken through the ice in January and were all dead when exam- ined. Accordingly the Arguli were transported to the laboratory, and this time some of the redfin shiners (Votropis) which had been used for bait were found to be the most available material for tem- porary hosts. In this instance the parasites were placed directly upon the redfins. They attached themselves at once, seeming to prefer the neighbor- hood of the dorsal and ventral fins, and, so far as watched, making no attempt to crawl under the operculum. They did not seem to irritate the fish perceptibly, although they could be plainly seen to crowd forward under the scales to pierce the skin. They were kept in this way more than two months, and had almost reached the breeding season when an unfortunate accident killed them all. Remaining thus upon the external surface where they could be easily watched, it was seen that the individual parasites changed about con- siderably from one fish to another. One of the redfins proved particularly attractive, and often had nearly all the parasites (15 in number) on his own body. He was no larger than some of the others, but was very plump and vigorous. This living upon minnows is in direct confirmation of the observa. tions of Claus (1875) upon the two European forms, A. folcaceus and A. coregoni. But the present observations differed markedly from his in one respect; either these redfins were not as yet educated to the use of parasites as food, or they did not relish such a diet. Although they were fiercely hungry when obtained, having been kept without food since they were caught in the fall, no one of them took any notice of some Arguli which were placed free in the aquarium for that purpose. Finally one of the parasites fairly rubbed against a redfin’s nose in swimming about, and the latter, unable to resist such a call, opened his mouth and apparently swallowed the Argulus. But it was only apparently, for in a moment or two the Argulus was forcibly ejected uninjured, and no further attempt was ever made to swallow one. Indeed, none of them disappeared till the final accident which killed them all. 3. A. laticauda and A. megalops live wpon many of our common salt-water fish, and some of them were desired for experiments similar to those tried upon the fresh-water forms. But it would obviously be impossible to transport them with their 648 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. VOL. XXV. hosts for any distance inland. Through the kindness of Mr. Vinal N. Edwards many specimens of these two species were removed from their hosts, placed in fresh salt water, and sent through the mail from Woods Hole to Westfield, Massachusetts. The A. laticauda were taken from eels and had evidently just fin- ished their egg laying; the A. megalops were from flat fish (Para- lichthys) and were still full of eggs. Some of the females laid upon the sides of the bottle on the way, and the remainder deposited their egos after reaching the laboratory. But how could any experiments upon a change of host be tried with these forms? No marine fish were obtainable alive, and if they could have been procured, sufficient salt water to keep them was manifestly out of the question so far inland. It was remembered that these parasites infest many fish, like eels, salmon, herring, etc., which are migratory in their habits, and some which pass from salt into fresh water. or the opposite, during their migrations. It becomes an interesting question, therefore, whether the parasite is able to accompany its host through these changes or not. It was determined first to try a change from salt to fresh water without the presence of any host whatever. Accordingly several specimens of each of these two salt-water species were placed in a dish of salt water, which was then slowly changed to fresh by the addition of a few drops of the latter at a time. They gave apparently no attention whatever to the change, but continued to swim about in the fresh water as they had done in the salt. Indeed, they manifested so little appreciation of the change that another lot was transferred directly from salt to fresh water. These appeared a little irritated at first, but quickly recovered and manifested no subsequent difference in demeanor. Then a_ host was supplied them in the shape of a small minnow, to which they attached themselves readily and upon which they lived for several days. : These experiments would indicate very strongly that Argulus at least, among the copepods which infest the various salt-water migra- tory fishes, is capable of continuing upon its host as the latter passes up some fresh-water river in search of a suitable spawning place. It furnishes good proof also that the salt-water as well as the fresh-water forms are capable of changing about from one species of host to another. In this connection it is well to recall the fact that the species catos- tomi was first discovered in the Mill River near New Haven, Con- necticut, where the water is distinctly brackish (1837). The same species was afterwards found by Gage (1886) in Cayuga Lake, Ithaca, New York, in perfectly fresh water. It has also been altel No. 1302. AMERICAN PARASITIC ARGULIDA— WILSON. 649 found by the author in abundance in the Connecticut River and its tributaries near Springfield and Chicopee, far above tide water, and also in several small ponds and streams farther east in the State. The ‘ability to use almost any fish for a temporary host affords a reasonable explanation of the appearance of many species in the host lists whose presence would otherwise be difficult of explanation, as, for example, the frog tadpoles of A. fo/ raceus, ete. It also readily explains why the Arguli should be found on mud- loving and bottom-frequenting species during the breeding seasons, while they rarely occur on the same species at other times.

I have before (p. 771) given the reasons why I can not agree with him in this. Clemens’s careful definition of Hvagora apicitripunctella does not leave any doubt about the generic characters of that species, even if there may be some differences of opinion about the identification of the species (p. 809). The type of Chambers’s genus S/noé is fuscopallidella, of which the unique type is in the Museum of Comparative Zoology. This is in very poor condition, but shows positively that its generic characters are the same as those of H»agora and of the two European species, nanella Hiibner and Jeucatella Linneus, at present included by Stau- dinger and Rebel in Recurvaria as now restricted (Aphanaula Meyrick). The type of Chambers’s genus /7dothoa, vagationella, I regard as synonymous with Zeller’s Gelechia dorsivittella, which also belongs to the present genus.

S09 While there is no difficulty about the identity of Clemens’s genus, it is not quite so satisfactory with the specific identity of his type of the genus. Lord Walsingham placed it as synonymous with Zeller’s g7/vosco- pella, and as Clemens’ type is not in existence it is difficult to prove or disprove the identity absolutely, and I should have left it on Walsing- ham’s authority, even though the synonymy seemed very strange from the quite different descriptions of the two species, if I had not been able to examine the evidence on which Lord Walsingham based his opinion in 1882. These specimens (labeled with Lord Walsingham’s blue labels, nos. 148, 149, and 150, corresponding to his identification in his notebook’), are in Professor Fernald’s collection, and they surely are not the same as the type of Zeller’s gi/voscopella, preserved in excellent condition in the Museum of Comparative Zoology. They are in rather poor condition, but agree as far as can be made out with undoubted specimen of abzetisel/a Packard, a large, bred series of which is in the U. S. National Museum. Here also are to be found two specimens labeled in Lord Walsing- ham’s handwriting wpicitripunctella, one determined in 1887 and one in 1891. The first is bred from locust and is vobinzella Fitch (p. 812), and the other is the same as the specimens in Professor Fernald’s collection and is abzetisella Packard. That Lord Walsingham at that time, with the limited material at his command, was not very certain about these nearly related, similar species is shown by his suggestion” that dors¢o7tieala Zeller and crista- tella Chambers might also be mere varieties of apicitripunctella. Clemens’s description agrees well with adzetisella, but can not be reconciled with Zeller’s description of g//voscopella, the one belonging to the ochreous group, the other to the fuscous. While, then, absolute proof about this species can not be obtained because the type 1s lost, it seems evident to me, after careful analysis of the different descriptions and with large series of mostly bred speci- mens of all these allied species before me, that aprctripunctella (1) can not be Zeller’s gilvoscopella, and (2) can not be any other species than Packard’s abietisella. food plant.— Abies canadensis.

I am, at present, unable to separate this species from a series of authentic European specimens of Recurvarta nanella Hiibner, and Iam conscious of the probability of my making a synonym of this species, the life history of which, according to Meyrick’s Handbook of British Lepidoptera, is not definitely known, but which is variously said to feed in flowers or in shoots of pear or on lichens growing on the trunk. As long as definite knowledge of the larva of both species is lacking, I regard it a much better policy to treat the American form as a distinct species, instead of running the risk of wrongly recording | European species in America, which has already been done, too hastily in my opinion, in other groups of 7/neinze. Such records are very difficult to disprove, and, if wrong, not only encumber our lists and tables, but give false ideas of geographical distribution. RECURVARIA ROBINIELLA Fitch.

This is clear, as he could not breed a moth with alar expanse 0.45 inch froma full-grown larva only 0.18 inch long. Fitch collected his Robinia leaves in the autumn and in the spring | his moth appeared, so it seems reasonable that some other larger larva | no. 1304 REVISION OF AMERICAN GELECHITD MOTHS—BUSCK. 813 have been present, unnoticed by Fitch, from which the moth came, which he associated with the larva and mine, he had taken notes on the previous fall.

Face, head, and thorax black, with purplish reflections. Ground — color of forewings silvery white, but so thickly overlaid with black and dark fuscous scales as to appear black to the naked eye. Under a lens is indistinctly seen six deep black spots of raised scales in two rows, one above, the other below fold. At apical fourth is a very — narrow, irregular, V-shaped, silvery white fascia, with the angle pointed toward the tip of the wing, and farther out toward apex is a very indis- tinct thin row of white scales, parallel with the costal edge and meet-_ ing a similar line parallel to the dorsal edge just before apex.

Phila., 1860, p. 168; N. A. Tineina, 1872, p. 125. With his usual care Dr. Clemens characterized this genus, so that it can be readily and unquestionably recognized even with the type lost. : It. has the labial palpi moderate, second joint slightly thickened, with rough scales beneath, terminal joint as long as second, rather thick, but smooth and pointed. Forewings elongate, pointed; 12 veins, 7 and 8 out of 6,3 and 4 stalked; hindwings a little narrower than fore- wings, apex produced, termen emarginate; 8 veins, 3 and 4 connate, 5 approximate to 4, 6, and 7 stalked. It was interesting to discover a new species of this genus with iden- tical habits and structure.

Clemens’s type is lost, but I had no difficulty in positively identify- ing his species by rearing the characteristic larva, which feeds on the upperside of oak leaves under a thin sheet of silk, with a safety exit to the underside of the leaf, as Clemens described. These bred moths, now in U. 8. National Museum, agree perfectly, generically and specifically with Clemens’ description, and represent without doubt the species. They were carefully compared with and found identical with Cham- bers’ type of Gelechia quinqueannulella in the Museum of Compara- tive Zoology in Cambridge, which, furnished with Chambers’ label, was found sufficiently well preserved to be easily recognizable, and which agreed with his description. Chambers’ notes on the early stages further verifies this synonymy. Chambers wrote that he was not acquainted with Zrypanisma prudens.' fabitat.—Pennsylvania, District of Columbia. 'Can.

Some of the American species have a tendency for veins 3 and 4 in hindwing to become short-stalked instead of connate and have the discal vein nearly obsolete. Some of the species present a character, which is noteworthy and which I do not know whether it is found in the European forms—at least, it is not noted by Mr. Meyrick in his gen- eric synopsis—namely, the long-stalked veins 6 and 7 in the hindwing, which both go to the costal edge, not, as might be expected, inclosing the apex.

Two of Chambers’s types of Gelechia difficilisella (type no. 444) and specimens thus determined by Lord Walsingham are in the U.S. National Museum. They agree well with Chambers’ description and were found identical with Chambers’ types in the museum in Cambridge. Lord Walsingham established the synonymy with Walker’s species. It is a very common species, collected by the writer in numbers on trunks of trees in Washington, District of Columbia. Other specimens in the U. 8.

Chambers had named another species Depressaria bicostomaculella' before describing this species, but changed that name later to guerct foliella,” when he discovered its food plant. This change was, of course, inadmissible, and the name d/costomaculella must be retained for that species, which is a true Gelechia, common in the Eastern States — (p. 879). This, however, need not now interfere with the name of the- present Colorado species, when it is transferred to Lp/thectis, to which genus it was found to belong on examination of the type in the Museum — of Comparative Zoology in Cambridge. It is a very distinctly recognized species, of which, besides the type, I have seen only few aes in Dr. Dietz’s collection from Colorado like the type, and in U. S. National Museum from Arizona, collected by Messrs. E. A. Ssionine ae H. S. Barber. EPITHECTIS SYLVICOLELLA, new species. Epithectis sylvicolella Buscx, Dyar’s List Amer. Lep., No. 5610, 1903.

Forewings, ground color white, ick overlaid with dark fuscous. Three costal spots dark brown, nearly black, one at base, one just) before the costal cilia, and one midway between these. At the beginning of costal cilia is a whitish spot less overlaid withl fuscous fae the rest of the wing, and opposite on the dorsal margin— is a similar but smaller spot. At basal third of dorsal margin is au short, transverse, oblique dark streak reaching the fold, on which it widens out to a small dark spot, sometimes more pees than the streak and edged exteriorly with a few white scales. On the middle of the disk is a blackish oblong dot edged with white, and at the end of the disk is a similar rather more prominent dot._ Between and immediately below these dots is an oblong, longitudinal, dark-brown streak. At base of cilia, around costal, apical, and dorsal edge, is a row of equidistant dark-brown spots. Cilia yellowish fus- cous. Hindwing light gray, with bluish reflections.

Clemens’ type is lost, but his generic characterization of this species shows that it must belong to the present genus. A specimen in the U. 5. National Museum, labeled by Lord Wal- singham Gelechia consinusella Chambers, and which has a striking external similarity to that species, Aproerema consinusella, p. 844, but which on examination was found to be an Lp/thect/s, I have with but slight hesitation determined as the present species, with the description of which it agrees in all particulars.

The type of this species is lost, but I have no doubt it is the same species that Riley thought was the European Stenolechia gemmella Linneus. Both were bred from Cynipid galls on oak, and Clemens’ description exactly fits Riley’s specimen now in U.S. National Museum. There are also other specimens, bred by Miss Murtfeldt and by the writer from the same kind of galls. - Habitat.—linois, Missouri, District of Columbia. 820) PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. VOL.

Chambers found what he supposed to be a variety of the species in Texas with an additional white spot on the fold and consequently made Gelechia quinella Zeller, which is this supposed variety a synonym of the present species. This “‘ variety” is truly gucnella Zeller, but is a quite distinct species, while Zeller’s o/ympcadella, as the description, figure, and types in Cambridge Museum show, is the same as Chambers’ vrcis feeding species. Zeller points out well the differences between the two species. The present species is one of the commonest Ge/echiids in the vicin- ity of Washington, and its pretty larva, well described by Chambers, ‘an be found all summer spinning up the leaves of redbud. There are at least two generations in this locality. The imagoes of one brood issue about September 1, and the following brood overwinters as pupa and comes forth as imago in early May. In U.S. National Museum are authentic specimens, received and labeled by Chambers, besides targe bred series from District of Columbia, and captured specimens from Kansas and Texas. “ah a a ee th i tl es SE Dal at 8 ect OE ols hl ei ba bata Biss BALA Ake ai ee GELECHIA QUINELLA Zeller.

Forewings deep bronzy black with four white markings, namely, one large out- wardly oblique white costal streak near base, the lower tip of which crosses the fold; one nearly elliptical white spot on the middle of the wing; one triangular white costal spot at the beginning of the cilia, and opposite this a smaller dorsal white spot. The spots are identical with those found in the two preceding spe- cies, cercerisella and quinella, except that the second costal spot in the former and the two middle spots of the latter have been replaced by the single central spot in a7/zonella. Hindwings as broad as forewings; light silvery fuscous, darker along costa and toward the tip. Cilia a shade lighter. Abdomen light fuscous with a metallic purple sheen; each joint is fringed pos- teriorly with whitish scales, and the two first joints are velvety yellow- ish above.

Types of both species with Chambers’ labels on the pins are found — in the Museum of Comparative Zoology in Cambridge, and prove, as the descriptions would indicate, that it is only one species twice — described. A large bred series, showing considerable variation in the white | markings, is found in U. S. National Museum, determined by Lord — Walsingham as ep/geella. Food plant— Vaccinium stamineum.—The following are the notes on this series in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, given under No. 2788 An apparently very numerous larva of a skeletonizer on Vaccinium stamineum was found in Virginia (presumably by Mr. Theo. Pergande and near Washington City) on July 16. The larva fastens together two or more leaves and feeds between them on the epidermis, forming from its frass a tube, which is open at both ends. The larva is about 8 mm. long, pale dirty yellowish or greenish yellow, with six darker yellow stripes, head and cervical shield dark yellow; moths issued from July 26 to August 17. Chambers’ type was bred from the nearly related pigzxa repens. In U. 8. National Museum is another series of apparently this same species bred from sweet fern, Comptonia asplenifolia, and also identi- fied by Lord Walsingham as ep7geella Chambers. This would be an unusually diverse food plant for a Gelechiid, and I was suspicious that the latter series would prove another species, as it eventually may. But the rather ample material can not be separated at present except — by the labels, and the notes on the larve are so similar that for the — time being at least I must assume all to be one species. Should it ultimately prove to be two species by more accurate obser- — vations on the larve, the species on Comptonia might properly be- as ines et ak no.1804.

In the- Museum of Comparative Zoology in Cambridge are Packard's two types of trémaculella, also described from Labrador. So far as the specimens, which are in poor condition, permit com- parison, they agree in every respect with authentic European speci- — men of cont/nuella Zeller in U.S. National Museum. From the Bei- — anger collection in Laval University, Quebec, I have obtained the — unique type of Chambers’ Gelechia albamaculedla. It is in poor con-— dition, without palpi and wings on one side, but recognizable, and undoubtedly authentic, with Chambers’ label on the pin. It is same species as tr/maculella Packard. The types of the latter in Cambridge bear Lord Walsingham’s blue | labels no. 838-839, corresponding to bis identification in his notebook, trimaculella Packard. The American specimens agree with the European in having veins 3 and 4 and 6 and 7 on hindwing shortstalked. GELECHIA RIBESELLA Chambers. Gelechia ribesella CHAMBERS, Cinn. Quart. Journ.

This species, of which the unique type is found in Cambridge, is very similar to the foregoing, thoracealbella Chambers, but distin- guished by the small ochreous discal dots. The type is in comparatively good condition, except lacking the palpi; but it is unspread, and consequently the venation has not been examined. Iam, however, quite assured from its general appearance that it isa true Gelechia. It is a large blackish-brown species with light ochreous head, thorax, and (according to Chambers) labial palpi. The very faint small ochreous markings on the forewings are well described by Chambers. [Habitat.—Texas. GELECHIA OCHREOSUFFUSELLA Chambers. Gelechia ochreosuffusella CuampBers, Can.

XXVim the same as eight types in the Museum of Comparative Zoology in Cambridge labeled by Chambers depressostrigella. All of these types agree with the description and are undoubtedly authentic. So far as known to me no authentic specimen labeled ochreosuf- fusella is in existence, and the above synonomy is established merely on Chambers’ evidence. The two species are described from Texas, one right above the other,’ and there, Chambers thinks, they are two different species, though he says that they resemble each other. He writes that the color of head and palpi are different in the two species, but does not give the color of one of them (depressostrigel/a), and the color given for the other suits his own authentic specimens of the first. Later® he corrects his description somewhat and says that they may be one and the same species. As the many types of depressostrigella show some little variation, it seems under the circumstances admissible to place the two names as synonyms, thus lessening the previous long list of unknown species. Should future collecting reveal two closely similar species, which with sufficient probability can be referred to the two species, then, of course, the second name should be resurrected and retained for the species represented by the types. In the U. S. National Museum, besides the type, there is one speci- men labeled by Lord Walsingham, Gelechia depressostrigella. ‘This, as all the types, came from Texas. GELECHIA STRIATELLA, new species Gelechia striatella BuscK, Dyar’s List Amer. Lep., No..5737, 1905. Antenne shining dark brown, slightly serrate toward the tip. Labial palpi with well-developed furrowed brush, ocherous white, thickly sprinkled with black and gray scales, underside of brush nearly black. Face whitish; head and thorax clothed with light bluish gray scales, each scale slightly tipped with black or gray, which produces to the naked eye a uniform dark-gray color. Forewings with ground color light whitish gray, thickly sprinkled with darker gray, brown, and black scales, which are arranged in indistinct narrow longitudinal darker lines, somewhat more pronounced in the apical part of the wing, but even there not clearly perceptible to the naked eye. Along the fold and at the dorsal cilia the wing is faintly suffused with ocherous. Cilia whitish, sprinkled with black dots. 'Can. Ent., V1, p. 236. *Cinn. Quart. Journ. Sci., II, p. 255. No. 1304.

Surv., III, 1877, p. 126. Chambers described two different insects under the name Gelechia ochreostrigella, types of both of which I have examined in the Museum of Comparative Zoology in Cambridge. The last described is a Gnor/moschema, and will be found treated under that genus (p. 831). The other (the present) species is a typical Gelechia quite similar to ochreosuffusella, but easily distinguished by its ocherous head and thorax and the dark, nearly black, basal costal part of the wing. In the U.S. National Museum is a specimen from California, which was also the locality of the type. GELECHIA HIBISCELLA, new species. Gelechia hibiscella Buscx, Dyar’s List Amer. Lep., No. 5739, 1903. Antenne dark brown, not annulated, slightly serrate toward the tip. Labial palpi with well-developed spreading brush, yellowish white; second joint with a few black scales on the outside; terminal joint with tip and one annulation near base black. : Face, head, and thorax shining ocherous white; shoulders purplish black. Costal half of forewings dark brown, in some specimens nearly 870 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. VOL. XXV. black; dorsal half including apex light ocherous brown, in some speci- mens whitish. The limit between these two parts of the wing is not very detinite and somewhat variable. In the dark costal part are found lighter, yellowish brown, irregular patches, one large indistinct at the middle of the costa, one small | rather more distinct costal spot at the beginning of the cilia and in some specimens others not well defined. In the dorsal light part of the wing are ill-defined darker shadings and the veins are indicated darker so as to produce a striate effect. On the fold at the basal one- third is a small nearly black spot which seems to be constant. Like- wise is a row of black dots around the apical edge constant in all my specimens. The other markings are more or less varying. Hindwings a little broader than forewings, light bluish fuscous; cilia yellowish. Abdomen yellow. Legs dark purple with yellowish white bars on the outside and with tarsal white annulations. Alar expanse.—16 to 17 mm. Habitat.—District of Columbia. Food plant.—Mibiscus moscheutos. Type.—No. 6383, U.S.N.M. This species is quite near to the foregoing species, ochreostrigella Chambers, but not so conspicuously streaked and with light, dark annulated, third joint of labial palpi instead of the uniformly dark, nearly black, terminal joint in ochreostrigella. I have reared this variable, but always easily recognized species repeatedly from the common swamp rose mallow. The larva is rather large when full grown in proportion to the imago, being 22-23 mm. long and with greatest width 2.2 mm. It is cylindrical, only slightly tapering fore and back. Head rounded, shorter than wide, black with reddish brown vertex; width, 1.3 mm. First thoracic segment somewhat narrower than the following joint, reddish; thoracic shield biack; width, 1.6 mm.; length, 0.7 mm.; straight in front and nearly straight posteriorly. Second thoracic segment dark reddish, with anterior part white above. Third thoracie segment and the rest of the body white; on the posterior half of this joint begin six wavy narrow interrupted longitudinal dark reddish dor- sal lines, which run through on all the rest of the segments. These lines are darker in the young larvee, which otherwise are like the full- erownlarve. ‘Tubercles shining deep black, bearing short black hairs; they are arranged conspicuously on the white part between the dark lines. Ventral part of the abdominal segments white. Thoracic feet black; abdominal prolegs normal, white, with a complete circle of brownish hooks. . The larva feeds on the leaves or in the capsules, generally in large numbers together; when ready to pupate they partially bite off one or / | yo.1304.

The species overwinters as larva, and two generations are found in this locality, the imagoes issuing from the hibernated larva in May and from the summer brood in August. GELECHIA COCKERELLI, new species. Gelechia cockerelli Buscx, Dyar’s List Amer. Lep., No. 5740, 1903. Antenna dark brown with indistinct yellow annulations. Labial palpi are long and slender, brush on second joint only slightly devel- oped; white with a few dark scales; terminal joint somewhat darker, yellowish. Face yellowish white. Head and thorax rust yellow, thorax with three longitudinal blackish lines. Forewings light yellowish brown, with dark blackish brown mark- ings; on dorsal edge near base is a large dark brown patch, therein differing from the foregoing similar ochreostrigella Chambers and hibiscella Buseck, which both have dorsal base light, but costal base dark; in the present species the costal base is of the general color of the wing. At apical third is a blackish ill-defined costal spot, which runs out in a dark shade across the wing. Just before this spot is another smaller, more sharply defined costal blackish spot. Along the veins and in the disk are longitudinal dark lines, sharpest and darkest in the apical part of the wing, and each terminating at the base of the cilia in a deep black spot. These longitudinal streaks are interrupted at the end of the cell by a short thin perpendicular deep black streak, followed by a short light brown space. Cilia reddish yel- low, slightly sprinkled with black. Hindwings broader than forewings, yellowish fuscous; cilia yel- lowish. Abdomen light brown.

The insects which I shall describe under this name and as varieties of this species represent, in my opinion, undoubtedly only one species, but is the most variable Gelechiid with which I am acquainted (except 872 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. VOL. XXV. it be Ypsolophus ligulellus Hiibner), and it will be necessary to describe at least some of the varieties separately. It has seemed reasonable to me that one or more varieties of this evidently common Western species should have been described by Chambers as one or more species, and I have especially carefully com- pared this species with the descriptions of his several unrecognized species, but Iam unable to find any which I could make apply and feel justified in adopting the name of. The specimens which I regard as typical may be recognized from the following: Antenne brown, with indistinct lighter annulations. Labial palpi slender; second joint whitish, suffused with brown; the brush only slightly developed, but divided and with a longitudinal dark streak in the middle; terminal joint nearly uniform dark fuscous, the whitish ground color being entirely covered. Face, head, and thorax light ochreous gray. Forewings light gray- ish yellow, slightly brownish toward the tip and with blackish brown longitudinal lines from base to apex, following the veins and becoming heavier and more blackish toward apex. Three short more pro- nounced heavy black longitudinal lines independent of the others are very conspicuous and are found, although modified in all the varieties; the first and shortest at base just within dorsal margin; the second on the fold, also starting more or less clearly from the base, but reaching its characteristic thickness and tone outside the first line and ending as a heavy line just before the middle of the wing, though after con- tinued as one of the general thin lines to the dorsal apical edge. The third line is midway between the fold and the costal edge and begins at the middle of the wing and reaches to the end of the cell; also continued as one of the fainter lines from base to apex. Cilia gray. Hindwings as broad as forewings, yellowish fuscous; cilia yellowish. Abdomen light yellowish brown. Legs yellowish without any markings. Variety a.—The three prominent longitudinal black streaks are intact, but the other longitudinal lines are nearly or quite obsolete. The color of the forewings below the three biack lines is dark choco- late brown, the color above the lines whitish purple, the two colors standing sharply against each other, separated by the black lines. The color of head and thorax is correspondingly dark brown. Variety b.— Ground color of forewings more whitish, thickly suf- fused with dark brown and gray single scales. The three heavy black longitudinal streaks are present, but with a tendency to break up in shorter streaks or totally disappear, especially the first and the third, which are represented as one, two, or three longitudinal dots. The other longitudinal lines are obsolete, except right around apex, where they are indicated by a series of short indistinct streaks at base of the cilia. no.1304.

While single speci- mens of the extreme varieties might easily be taken for different species and while absolute proof to the opposite can not be obtained except through breeding, I have no doubt but that they all belong to one variable species.

The synonomy with Oeseis biannulella 1 did not discover before I saw in Dr. Dietz’s collection a specimen labeled by Lord Walsingham Oeseis biannulella. No authentic specimen from Chambers of this species exists, but I have no doubt that the specimen is rightly named by Lord Walsingham, as it faithfully agrees with Chambers’ descrip- tion, and if so it is the same as Gelechia ocellella. The description of the two species are nearly identical and could well both have been drawn from the same specimen. 874 ° PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. VOL. XXV.

Zeller omitted to mention in his description of w/olaceofusea the ocellate spot at the end of the cell, which, though very indistinct in some lights, is plainly found in his unique well-preserved type in the Cambridge Museum. ‘This type is a male and the spot is not nearly so prominent in this sex as in the females. It is clearly the same species as represented by Chambers’ four types of discoocellella also found in the Cambridge Museum and answering to his description of that species. Chambers’ name has precedence. The ocellate spot at the end of the cell, as well as the lighter streak below the fold, are, as Chambers observed, somewhat variable, and especially in the males, indistinct; but the glossy violet sheen and the abruptly cut forewings makes this species easily recognized. In the U. S. National Museum and in the collections of Professor Fernald and Dr. Dietz are specimens determined by Lord Walsingham as Gelechia (Trichotaphe) discoocellella. The species has, it is true, some general resemblance to the genus 77ichotuphe, but palpi and vena- tion place it in Gelechia. Mr. Coquillet has given its food plant as Polygonum. This agrees with a note from Miss Murtfeld that she reared the types from smart- weed, Polygonum hydropiperoides, not, as Chambers wrote,' ‘* small weed.” This species has a noteworthy color resemblance with another poly- gonum-feeding Tineid, Aristotelia absconditella Walker (p. 801). It has a wide distribution; Chambers recorded it from Kentucky and Texas; Zeller from Texas; Coquillet from Illinois; in U.S. National Museum are specimens from Kansas (Crevecceur), [linois (Barnes), Pennsylvania (Dietz), District of Columbia (Busck).

It is true that the brush on second joint of labial palpi is strongly developed, but not in the long projecting pointed fashion found in Ypsolophus; it is a large divided spreading brush, just like that found in Gelechia (Oecese/s) bianulella Chambers, and I do not consider it of generic value, but merely the extreme development of the brush as commonly found in Gelechia, with which genus anarsiella also agrees in venation and general habitus. In U. S. National Museum is an identical specimen labeled by Chambers; there is also a fine specimen bred by Dr. Harrison G. Dyar from Ceanothus in Colorado.

Antenne whitish fuscous, indistinctly annulated with darker fuscous. Labial palpi with normal well-developed brush; terminal joint shorter than second; whitish suffused with bluish black scales on the outside; brush and terminal joint nearly black. Face white with a few light fuscous scales. Ground color of head, thorax, and forewings whitish, but so heavily overlaid with dark fuscous and bluish black scales as to give the appearance to the naked eye of dark gray. At the base is an oblique, ill-defined, obscure, blackish streak; on the middle of the wing ds a black oval dot followed by a short space of pure white; at apical third is a large transverse blackish area across the wing, edged on the outside by a narrow zigzag white fascia. Hindwings as broad as fore- wings, light silvery fuscous, darker toward apex; cilia yellowish fus- cous. Abdomen silvery gray; first segments velvety yellow on upper side; under side white. Legs white, profusely sprinkled with bluish black scales. Alar expanse.—\14 to 18 mm. Lood plant.—Cottonwood. Habitat.—Colorado. Type.—No. 6388, U.S.N.M. An obscurely marked species near the following, Gelechia albispar- sella. Described from a large series bred by Dr. Dyar, who has given me the following notes on the larva: Larva.—Resembling the larva of Nycteola (Sarrothripa). Slender, thorax and joint 13 smaller than the other segments, submoniliform; head whitish testaceous, darker in the sutures and vertex, ocelli black. Body all rather opaque soft green, the incisures folded, dorsal vessel dark green, male glands whitish, small. Cervical shield like the body, but more shining and luteous tinted; feet normal, pale; joint 15 dorsally dark punctate. Tubercles ia and ib separate, iia+iib, iv+-v, the latter on both thorax and abdomen. On cottonwood, Denver, Colorado. Folding up a young leaf by uniting the edges around the margin so that it forms a bag or box; solitary. The laryz turned pink on leaving the bags to spin. Imago July 3.

Two undoubtedly authentic types of this species labeled by Cham- bers, Cirrha platanella, are found in the Museum of Comparative Zoology in Cambridge and prove that the genus Cirrha, which can hardly be said to have been characterized by Chambers’ few lines of general remarks, is synonymous with (e/echia. Chambers changed his specific name when he discovered the food plant, which was not admissible, and the species must be known under its original specific name. Food plant.— Plantanus occidentalis.

Zeller mentions only two black dots, one on the disk and one at the end of the disk, and says: ‘*Andere Zeichnungen fehlen.” These two spots are the most prominent and the only ones seen in certain lights against the nearly black general color of the wing, but as a matter of fact there is, as type also shows, three other smatler black spots on the fold and one more on the disk. All of the spots, however, are quite indistinct. In the U. 8. National Museum is a very large bred series of this species from Colorado and Arizona, bred respectively by Dr. H. G. Dyar and Mr. E. A. Schwarz from Thermopsis and from Lobinia. Dr. Dyar has pubiished his notes on the larva." According to Mr. Schwarz, this species is at some places so abun- | dant as to do actual damage, spinning up every leaflet of the Robinia. | GELECHIA OBSCUROOCELELLA Chambers.

REVISION OF AMERICAN GELECHIID MOTHS-—BUSCK. 879 The unique type a this species is fandie in the Cambridge Miaceer in excellent condition. A good bred series in the U.S. National Museum carefully compared with the type bears the designation “U.S. Dept. of Agriculture Insectary, Nos. 4232 and 5786,” and the corresponding records show that it has been bred twice, first from larva skeletonizing leaves of cottonwood, received from El Paso, Texas, in November, 1887, from which the moths issued in January next year. The note on the larva is very short: Greenish white, with a pink blush on dorsal surface. Secondly, it was received in July, 1893, from Jetsam, Wyoming, with the report that the larve were extremely injurious to cotton- wood. With this is the following note on the tarva: Head pale brown, with posterior margin black; body pale yellowish white without any markings. The moths issued July 3 to 8. The Texan specimens average a little lighter and smaller than those from Wyoming, but they are undoubtedly same species. The type, although from Texas, agrees with the darker Wyoming specimens. Finally, there is in the National Museum one specimen of this species, bred by Dr. Dyar from cottonwood in Colorado. This species is extremely similar to the following in ornamentation and easily mixed with it. The palpi, however, give a good distin- euishing character. In the present species the brush is normal and well developed, longer at base than at apex of second joint, while Grelechia lynceella has a very short and even brush. The palpi also show color differences as pointed out by Zeller. } ae lynceella ZELLER, Verh. k. k. zool.—bot. Gesell. Wien, X-XIIT, 1873, p- 255.—CHaAmBers, Bull. U. S. Geol.

Of the present species no authentic type is in existence, but in the U.S. Nationai Museum are two specimens determined by Lord Wal- singham, and similar specimens in the collection of Dr. Dietz and Professor Fernald, also determined as bicostomaculella by Lord Wal- singham. Some of these specimens are bred by Miss Murtfeldt from oak, and bear her breeding number 174 M. Miss Murtfeldt thinks this the true b/costomaculella, and as it agrees with Chambers’ description it seems altogether probable that this truly is that species. The species is near the following and Gelechia vernella Murtfeldt, but has raised scales on the forewings, in which character, as well as in the stalked veins 6 and 7 in the hindwings and the slightly parted € veins 3 and 4 it approaches the genus 7e/phusa.

I have bred large series of this species in the District of Columbia and vicinity. The larv: feeds on different kinds of oak, and there are at least two generations in this locality. The larva is among the earliest found in the spring (April) in the half- developed unfolded leaves or buds. The imago of this brood is in the middle of May. In June there is a second brood feeding between two spun-together leaves; imagoes issue in the latter part of July. Very probably there is a third autumn brood, which either overwin- ter and lay eggs in early spring, in the swelling leaf buds, or which lay their eggs on the bud, all re fe in the autumn. The easily recognized larva is slender and very agile. Head and "thoracic plate polished jet black; first and second thoracic seoments deep | purple, third, lighter purple with anterior half white.

National Museum, among which are specimens determined by Chambers and by Lord Walsing- | ham. I have repeatedly bred it from Pobinia pseudacacia around Washington, and I have seen it from most of the Eastern States. The specimens, which Riley bred from wild cherry, and which — Chambers could not distinguish from pseudoacaciella,' are still in U.S. National Museum and belong to another perfectly distinct though quite similar species, described in this paper as Gelechia serotinella, I am indebted to Lord Walsingham for the synonymy of Zeller’s Gelechia cecella, type of which is in his possession and which he has given me his manuscript notes on. The description fully bears out this synonymy. GELECHIA SEROTINELLA, new species. Gelechia serotinella Buscx, Dyar’s List Amer. Lep., No. 5760, 1902. Gelechia pseudoacaciella CHAMBERS, Psyche, III, 1880, p. 65. Antenne shining purplish black, with very narrow white indistinet annulations; labial palpi with second joint above whitish, strongly sprinkled with black scales; under side of the well-developed brush black; terminal joint black, with extreme tip and a few scattered scales_ white. Face whitish, overlaid with dark purple. Head and thorax clothed | with mixed white and purplish black scales, the latter predominating; forewings dark, black and white scales irregularly mixed, but the black prevailing; in a narrow longitudinal streak along but below, costal edge dark-brown scales are also freely intermixed, giving that) part of the wing a perceptible chocolate-brown shade. At the end of} this streak at apical fourth the white scales congregate in an ill-detined costal white spot, which is connected with an opposite equally ill- defined dorsal white spot by a wavering interrupted narrow white fascia. Cilia dark fuscous, intermixed with white and with two faint blackish lines parallel with the edge of the wing. Hindwings as broad as forewings, dark shining fuscous; cilia, light fuscous; abdomen above on the first segments velvety yellowish brown; the other segments and under side very dark shining fuscous; legs with white and dark purple scales intermixed; posterior tibia on the outside black, with two white bars, on the inside silvery white; tarsal joints black, tipped with white.

Type.—No. 6390, U.S.N.M. The species is very near the foregoing, pseudoacaciella, and it was very natural that Chambers, from the imago alone, should identify it as that species; but it is a larger and darker insect, without the whit- ish costal area found in pseudoacaciella. The egg of this species is laid on the upper side at the tip of a leaf of wild cherry. The young larva spins together the edges of the leaf, and as it grows it folds gradually the entire leaf into a roomy abode, the open end of which it covers with a glistening white, thickly woven sheet of silk. In this cell the larva lives in a black tube made from its own frass and spun firm by silk, and it feeds under the protecting sheet of silk, which is gradually enlarged and moved outward as new feeding ground is needed. The larva is very timid and retreats at the least disturbance into its tube of frass, which it, when full grown, forms into an oval cocoon, in which it pupates. The imago issues within the cell and breaks through the sheet of silk. The larva is very similar to that of pseudoacactella, When *young it has a black head and thoracic shield, body dirty greenish white, darkest on the under side, and with two narrow longitudinal dark- brown dorsal lines and four (two on each side side) broader lateral lines through all the segments. When full grown the larva measures 20-24 mm. in length, with head 1.6 mm. broad. Head and thoracic shield is then light brown, the ground color of the body more nearly white, and the stripes more reddish. Dr. Dyar, who has bred this insect from larva with identical habits in Colorado, has kindly given me the following technical description of the larva: Head broad, red-brown, sutures and ocellar area blackish. Body purple brown with white stripes, narrower than the intervening spaces; irregular dorsal line, sub- dorsal (over tubercles iand ii), lateral (over iii), and broken, broad, distinct, subven- tral (over iv-++y and yi). Feet brownish; cervical shield black behind and shad- ing to sordid white before, rather transparent on anterior rim; prespiracular tubercle black. Tubercles small, brown. Thoracic feet black; anal plate luteous; setze fine and pale; abdominal feet reddish, those of joint 13 partly pale. In the locality of Washington there are two annual generations. The young larvee are first found in May, and in early June they are full grown and already pupated. Imagoes issue late in July and early ; = i g J 3 in August, and lay their eggs soon after, producing the second gener- ation, which overwinters as full-grown larva in its cocoon and issues as imago next spring. The peculiar life mode of the larva and its elaborate architecture reminded me at once, when I found it two years ago, of Clemens’ description of his genus Catastega, which was founded solely on the 884 PROCEEDINGS OF ae NATIONAL MUSEUM. VOL. XXv. habit of the larva. As Dr. Dyar has since shown,' this genus must be included in the Tortricid, and has nothing to do with the present species; but the life mode is identical with that described by Clemens, and illustrates how dangerous it is to rely on earlier stages alone in making new specific and generic groups.

No authentic type of this species exists, but in the U.S. National Museum is a specimen which has on the pin one of Chambers’ pill- box labels with Gelechia tephriasella in his handwriting. This speci- men consists of only thorax and the two forewings, but these latter agree with Chambers’ Sees and the specimen presumably truly represents this species While the genus can not be determined with certainty from these two forewings, the species appears to belong near the following, a probability which is strengthened by Chambers’ description and his } observation’ that this species reminded him of grissefusciella (conclusella | Walker). However, the generic determination must stand only for what it is, liable to change through future evidence. The venation in the forewings is normal 12 veins, 7 and 8 stalked, rest separate (not as in the following with veins 3 and 4 stalked). The peculiar coloration of the antennz described by Chambers should || make recognition of this species easy. Habitat.—Kentucky. 1Ent. News, XI, pl. 1, fig. 4. *Cinn. Quart. Journ., Il, p. 253.

National Museum are several specimens labeled by Lord Walsingham, Gelechia conclusella Walker; these are identical with specimens thus named by Lord Walsingham in collections of Dr. Dietz, and in the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences. They agree with Walker’s description and evidently correctly represent his species. They are the same as type no. 447, in the U. S. National Museum, of Gelechia grissefasciella, received with his label from Chambers, thus confirming the synonymy made by Walsingham. There is one other supposed ‘‘type” of grissefusciella, namely, in the Museum of Com- parative Zoology, Cambridge, but this is an entirely different thing, an undescribed species of Vealyda, unhappily unfit for description; it does not, however, agree with Chambers’ description, while U.S. National Museum type does, and the latter is evidently authentic. Lord Walsingham also made crescentifasciclla Chambers a synonym of conclusella, but this, as previously shown (p. 846), was done on faulty evidence, and crescentifasciella is a distinct species belonging to Anacampsis. The present species has veins 3 and 4 ‘n forewings stalked, and thereby differs from the most of the species in the genus in which it is placed. I am, however, at present not willing to differentiate it generically. GELECHIA RILEYELLA Chambers. Depressaria rileyella CHAMBERS, Can. Ent., IV, 1872, pp. 106, 129, 147, 148; Bull. U. S. Geol.

They are, however, prob- ably authentic, and remind one, as Chambers says, of Strobisia. As far as can be made out, without injuring the specimens, the forewings, which are obtusely rounded, have 11 veins, 8 coincident with 7, 3 and 4 stalked. Hindwings with 8 veins, 3 and 4 connate, 6 and 7 connate. Labial palpi with second joint considerably thickened with smoothly appressed scales, abruptly cut off at apex; terminal joint shorter than second joint. However, it was so difficult to examine these specimens that I feel uncertain about the characters and must at present leave the species as unrecognized. = mo.1804.

One of these was sent to U.S. National Museum, and when Riley made his List of 'Tineina he came across this specimen and recognizing Chambers’ label, placed an asterisk by ambrosiella in his list, indicating that a specimen was found in the museum collection, without recognizing the faulty deter- mination. No types or reeognized specimen of the present species are found in any of the collections, and I have failed to breed the species, although making several efforts. But the knowledge of the foodplant and larval habits [the larva feed according to Chambers in the fruits of Ambrosia trifida\ together with the description insure ultimate redis- covery of the species, which Chambers thought very near to 77icho- taphe chambersella Murtfeldt (p. 918).

Hyale CHAMBERS, Cin. Quart. Jn. Sci., II, 1875, p. 242. The characters of this genus in accordance with Clemens’s descrip- tion and verified by an undoubted specimen of the type of the genus are as follows: Labial palpi smooth, slender, curved, ascending, reaching vertex; second joint slightly thickened toward apex, terminal shorter than second, smooth, slender, pointed. Forewing short, broad, tortricid-formed apical edge nearly perpendicular on costal and dor- sal edge; 10 veins, veins 4 and 8 absent, all separate, 7 to apex. Hind- wings over I., 7 veins, 5 absent, 3 and 4 connate, 6 and 7 stalked. Lord Walsingham’s suggestion’ that this genus is hardly rightly separated from Stenoma Zeller is far from right. Neither is his con- ception of the venation clear. In the article just referred to in his tabulation of the supposed allied genera he writes that veins 7 and 8 in forewing are separate, and he further says” that MJenesta cinerocer- vind Walsingham, the venation of which he gives, differs in venation from the genus only in having veins 6 and 7 in hindwing connate instead of stalked, thus inferring that J/enesta, like this species, has 11 veins in forewing and 8 in hindwing, while in reatity 1t has only 10 and 7, respectively. Chambers suggested and Lord Walsingham established the syn- onymy JJenesta Clemens-//yale Chambers, about which there can not be any doubt. 1Insect Life, II, p. 154. Proc. Lond. Zool.

Chambers’ interesting life history of this species on hazel is quite similar to Miss Murtfeldt’s excellent observations on the following species, melanella Murtfeldt, on oak, and further confirms the identity of [yale and Menesta. This species is probably local and is not common. The specimen in the U.S. National Museum is from Massachusetts.

It bears Chambers’ handwritin yon the label ** Strobisia 3 albacilivella Cham.,” and it is undoubtedly authentic. It is clearly a Menesta, agreeing perfectly in venation and palpi with ‘this genus, and is very closely related to the two other species in the — genus, but is at once distinguished by the white apical cilia in fore- wing, which contrasts beautifully with the very dark shining wing. I have only seen one other specimen of this fine species, namely, in Mr. Kearfott’s collection, where is found a well-preserved specimen collected by him in New Jersey, on June 17. STROBISIA Clemens. Plate XXXI, fig. 31-32. Strobisia CLemens, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 1860, p. 164. This genus is well characterized by Clemens, and has the following characters: Labial palpi perfectly smooth, curved, slender; second joint scarcely thickened, terminal joint as long as second, pointed. Forewing elon- gate ovate, apex obtusely pointed; 12 veins, 7 and 8 stalked, or 11 veins, 7 and 8 coincident, 2 and 3 stalked. Hindwings narrower than forewing, apex obtuse, termen slightly sinuate; 8 veins, 3 and 4 con- nate, 5 parallel, 6 and 7 connate. The species have dark hindwings and brilliant iridescent markings on forewings. The genus is nearly related to 7richotaphe Clemens. Two species hitherto placed in this genus I have transferred to other genera, namely, Jewpedella Clemens, which belongs to Ana- campsis, near tréstrigela Walsingham, and will be found treated under that genus (p. 844), and a/bacilixella Chambers, which belongs to and will be found treated under J/enesta. The name argenticiliella Chambers as found in Chambers’ ‘*Index,” p- 162, and in Smith’s check list, No. 5581, does not appear to corre- spond to any description. The reference given in ‘‘ Index”? is not correct, and the name must be dropped. Only two described species are at present referable to this genus.

This species is the type of the genus and the more specialized of the _- two species. It has veins 7 and 8 in the forewings coincident. Chambers is himself responsible for placing his aphroditella as a synonym of 7r7r7dipennella, which the description indicates is the case. He committed, however, a clerical mistake in doing it. He wrote:! Strobisia venustella I am now satisfied is a synonym of S. irridipennella Clemens. Because of the presence of several brilliant blue spots on the wings of my specimens not mentioned in Dr. Clemens’ description, I was led to believe that they belonged to a different species. But the individuals vary in this respect. There can be no question but that venustel/a is a mistake for aphro- diteclla, the description of which only can be applied to 7rr/dipennella. This is also demonstrated by Chambers afterwards in his ‘‘ Index,”” where he placed his species right, aphroditeclla as synonym of 77rid7- pennella and venustella as synonym of the following species, e/e- mela Clemens. On account of the same defects in Clemens’ description, which misled Chambers, Frey described his proserpinella, which undoubtedly is the same as ar7ridipennella, the description agreeing in every particular. Although this species is very abundant in the vicinity of Washing- ton, and though I have given special attention to it for some years, its larval history is as yet entirely unknown, and furnishes a worthy sub- ject for study for any student who has an opportunity to work it out. The larva will, I believe, be found to be a stem borer. STROBISIA EMBLEMELLA Clemens. Strobisia emblemella CLEMENS, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 1860, p. 164; Stain- ton Ed. N. Am.

Begoé Chambers is the same as Jalacotricha Zeller, erected on the — same species. I have before me authentic specimens of the types and of all Amer- ican species hitherto included in these three genera, besides several — other described and undescribed species belonging to this group. After examining them very carefully, and after comparing critically the descriptions and figures given by the authors, it is my opinion that these three genera are artificial divisions of one natural group, and that they should not be retained. All three genera have exactly the same venation, wing form, and general habitus, and differ only in the slight modification of the hairs on second joint of the labial palpi, Z7zchotaphe being supposed to include the forms with perfectly smooth though thickened palpi; Beqgot (Malacotricha) those where the hairs on the upper (inner) side’ of second joint are somewhat longer and looser, and Lpicorthylis rep- resenting those where these hairs are still more developed. - However, these differences pass so gradually into each other that in most cases a species can be equally well placed in two of the genera, and species which are evidently very close otherwise will be found to differ in respect to these hairs, while others, clearly farther apart, will be found to agree in the form of the palpi. In his characterization of 7richotaphe Clemens was aware of these modifications of the labial palpi, but rightfully gave them only specific value. Zeller himself also conceded thist and wrote: Wahrscheinlich haben die Malacotrichen gleichen Aderverlauf [as Trichotaphe (A. B.)]. Die kleine Verschiedenheit in der Behaarung der Taster zwischen Malaco- triche und Trichotaphe hat Clemens sicher mit Recht nicht‘ als Gattungsmerkmal betrachtet. And anyone who will compare Zeller’s figures of Apicorthylis and Malachotriche® and who knows that the venation and other characters are identical in the two forms will be apt to concede that the two genera are not separable. The genus 7richotaphe as here used, including all these closely related forms is near )psolophus, and some of the species approach this genus markedly in the form of the palpi as well as in coloration.

Labial palpi long, recurved, second joint thick- ened with scales, appressed and smooth in front and laterally, smooth or more or less long-haired above (on the inside); terminal joint long, but shorter than second joint, slender, smooth, pointed.

There may be some question as to the right of giving Miss Murt- feldt’s name priority; but inasmuch as: she certainly had her name in print (though without description of the species) and inasmuch as her “biological note on the food plant given at that time really is of quite as much value in recognizing the species as Chambers’ mere excuse for a description, I give her name preference, the more so because it surely was Chambers’ inexcusable fault that a synonym was made, | and because only through Miss Murtfeldt has the species and its synonymy been finally cleared up. It appears from correspondence I have had with Miss Murtfeldt that she sent the first specimen bred by ber to Chambers for determi- nation; that he pronounced it a new species and agreed that Miss Murt- feldt should name it after him; that he thereafter, on the single Specimen received from Miss Murtfeldt, made a new species, ¢neque- pulvella, forgetting or mistaking the identity of the specimen in such ‘a degree that he, on the very next page, mentions haying received | such a specimen and compares it with his ambrosixella.

This type specimen is no longer in existence, and absolute certainty concerning the species is therefore not obtainable. _ Chambers says that it is ‘‘ perhaps a variety of swbruberella Cham- _ bers,” described on the same page, which species. he again writes, is **perhaps a variety of rufusella Chambers,” and which I, after care- ful consideration of all the material of rufusella |= Anacampsis ful- | lonella Zeller, p. 849], had placed as synonym of that species. It is evident that b/discomaculella must be very similar to this species. In Professor Fernald’s collection is what was supposed to be a type of Gelechia rufusella, with label to that effect in Chambers’ hand- writing. This specimen is from Texas, wherefrom both the above species were described, and it is very similar specifically to rfusella (Anacampsis fullonella), but belongs to the genus Tricotaphe, and could not be rufusella, because Chambers expressly emphasizes that this species has the terminal joint of labial palpi longer than second joint, as have also the other types of rufusella, while the specimen in Pro- fessor Fernald’s collection has the terminal joint decidedly shorter than second. It agrees with Chambers’ short description of Gelechia bidiscomac- uldla, and, aside from the difference in the length of labial palpi, differs from rfusella in having underside of thorax and legs black, with narrow white annulations on the tarsi. Second joint of palpi is also-deep black on the underside except at apex. I believe this specimen represents Gelechia bidiscomaculella, and have consequently referred that species to the present genus. ( I know of no other specimens of this species.

And if Anorthosia straminis Walsingham, described from Africa, has the alleged venation it can not properly be included in this genus. Of Chambers’ genus Sagaritis no authentic material exists, but his description leads me to believe that it must be identical with Anortho- sia, though several minor details of his figure of the venation differ from the true venation of Anorthosia; but nearly all of Chambers’ delineations are more or less incorrect and can not be depended upon. I am so fortunate as to have my opinion corroborated by Lord Walsingham, who independently concluded that Sagaritis was syn- onymous with Anorthosia, but still this question will be open to doubt until we know the American fauna much more intimately than we do now. Only the two species are included, and I feel rather confident that Chambers’ species is even specifically identical with Anorthosia puncti- pennella, and can not, from his short description, choose any differ- ences from that species which may not be omissions caused by an imperfect specimen used as type; but at present I think it more proper and safe to retain gracélella as a distinct species until further knowledge of our fauna is obtained.

Clemens’s type is lost, but there is no difficulty in identifying this peculiar species. I have examined many specimens determined by Lord Walsingham, who had seen Clemens’ original specimen, and I have repeatedly taken this species in the vicinity of Washington. The highly specialized palpi give the insect a peculiar bearded appearance when it is excited and spreads the long hairs out laterally on each side of the face. The early stages are not known.

ENCHRYSA Zeller. Enchrysa ZELLER, Verh. k. k. zool.—bot. Gesell. Wien, X XIII, 1873, p. 282. I am not personally acquainted with this genus except from Zeller’s description and figure and from the following notes kindly sent me by Mr. J. Hartley Durrant on the unique type in Lord Walsingham’s collection. As Zeller’s generic description and figure certainly must be incor- rect, I have relied exclusively on the notes on the type, which are as follows: Type minus abdomen and one hindwing and the whole insect rickety. I found this very difficult to study, fearing it would fall to pieces at. the least jar. It is a very distinct thing; you will know it at once if you see a specimen. Antenne den- tate, palpi smooth, terminal joint distinctly shorter than median. Forewings impressed on costa toward apex; 12 veins, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to immediately above apex, 3 from before angle of cell. Hindwings elongate, widening outward; apex pointed, produced; termen excavate beneath apex, slightly emarginate above tornus; 8 veins, 3, 4, and 5 remote, nearly parallel, 7 and 8 remote. Very close to Aristotelia, from which I think it is perhaps separable, but I have had great difficulty in study- ing the type. Zeller’s figure satisfactory so far as it goes. I dare not trust this specimen to the post; it would certainly fall all to pieces. I have placed this genus, following Zeller, next to YVpsolophus, but it does seem evident that it is much nearer Aristotelia, as Mr. Durrant writes. Only the one species has been described.

It was described from Ohio. No other specimen has been recognized, but it must be a striking little animal, and should be recognized from Zeller’s figure and descrip- tion without any difficulty. 9230 PROCEEDINGS OF THE. NATIONAL MUSEUM. VOL. XXY. YPSOLOPHUS Pabricivise: Ypsolophus Fasricius, Supplementum Ent. Syst., Hafnive, 1798, p. 421, pl. xxxv1. Labial palpi long curved, second joint thickened, with dense pro- | jecting tuft of long hairs beneath, sometimes rough above; terminal as long or longer than second, slender pointed. Forewings with 12 veins, 7 and 8 stalked, 2 and 3 stalked; hindwings {| as broad or broader than forewings, trapezoidal apex obtusely pointed, | termen Slightly sinuate; 8 veins, 8 and 4 connate or stalked, 5 approxi- | mate to 4, 6 and 7 closely approximate, connate or stalked. Mr. E. Meyrick made Nothris Hiitbner synonymous with Ypsolo- | phus,' and the species hitherto placed in that genus in America, — which are known to me, conform well with the definition of Ypsolo- | phus, except Nothris maligemmella Murtfeldt, which is a Blastobasid, — lately referred to the genus Z/olcocera Clemens,” and Ypsolophus | trimaculellus Fitch, which has been discovered to belong to the family (Xcophoride and has been made the type of a new genus Humeyrichkia Busck.?* The other species probably belong in the present genus, but unfor- tunately some of them are known only from the descriptions, all authentic material being lost. By continued breeding of good series of Ypsolophus, however, all of them may in time be rediscovered, but at present it is not safe from the more or less meager descriptions to even include them in the fol- — lowing table, which then only contains such species as are recognized — at present.

There is also a specimen from Texas (Beutenmiiller). The species was described from Kentucky. According to Chambers the larva is green, with six narrow, longi- tudinal, interrupted white lines; head ferruginous, first thoracic segment brown, thoracic feet black. At maturity it becomes white, suffused with pink, and with the longitudinal lines deep pink. Food plant.— Carya alba. 924 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. OL. XXV, YPSOLOPHUS VENTRELLUS Fitch.
