Terminal Band Research Articles

ON HEMARIS DIFFINIS, Boisd

In my own collection I labelled a form in which a slight dentation of the terminal band on primaries was perceptible (and which in this respect agreed with Boisduval's figure in the Species General, and with Abbot's of fuciformis) as H. diffinis. It differed from tenuis by a greater breadth of band, a perceptible apical stain, a somewhat brighter or ore yellow haired body. Whether this was Mr. Strecker's Aettira, I Knew not, since I was unacquainted with this author's work, having seen only his numbers on occasion.

NOTE ON HEMARIS UNIFORMIS AND ARCTIA SAUNDERSII

I have sufficiently shown in various places (and the enquiring student may consult the originals) that Kirby's description of Ruficaudis contradicts that of Uniformis, in what we must regard as essential partiuclars in this genus. We have not here to do with a species; but, according to Mr. Hulst's statements, with a dimorphic form of Thysbe, in which the inner margin of the terminal band of primaries is even, not dentate, on the interspaces.
