base of primaries; secondaries paler, powdery. Male antennae ciliated- 

 Expands 1.56 inches = 59 mm. 



Had. Colorado. Bruce (No. 244) one S . 

 In wing form and type of maculation belongs to rutila series, 

 with the prominent divided thoracic tuft of nitela. 



Carneades conjuncta Smith; second row, 5th figure. The species was 

 described from New Mexico; the figured specimen is from Colorado. 

 Bruce (No. 459). 



Peridroma nigra n. sp.; middle row, lower figure. The type of macula- 

 tion is as in occulta and astricta, from which the new species differs by 

 the powdery black fore wings, the markings picked out by whitish scales, 

 and the white, black-powdered secondaries. Expands 2.12 inches; 53 mm. 



Hab. Colorado in September. Bruce (No. 462). A single 

 female only. 



Carneades n. sp.; second row, yth figure. This little species, belonging 

 to the messoria group, though without doubt new, I prefer to leave un- 

 named, because it is defective and I have a single female only. 



Caradrina meralis Morr. ; first row, yth figure. A rather distinct little 

 species which I have received from Mr. Bruce (Nos. 362, 440), and some- 

 what doubtfully labeled meralis. * 



Pleroma apposita n. sp. ; second row, ist figure. Contrasting black 

 and white, very different from obliqnata, which is of a uniform ash-gray. 

 The maculation is lost, except in the costal region, and the s. t. line only 

 is marked by white scales the full distance. Expands 1.32 inches; 34 mm. 



Hab. Victoria, B. C. Mr. Neumoegen, one 1 only. 



Nootua flavotincta n. sp.; first row, 2nd figure. Most nearly related 

 to oblata Morr., but the collar is brown and the disc of thorax pale luteous 

 gray in the new species, while in the described species the matter is re- 

 versed. The primaries a red-brown, the markings and costal region yel- 

 lowish; claviform and cell between the ordinary spots black. Expands 

 1.32 inches; 34 mm. 



Hab. Victoria, B. C., collected by Mr. C. J. Weidt; two 

 males, one of them with Mr. Neumoegen. 



Calocampa brucei n. sp.; second row, 2nd figure. Most nearly allied 

 to some forms of ciiicrifia, but differs in the paler, more ashen gray of 

 the primaries, and most markedly by the pale thoracic disc, all other spe- 

 cies having this much darker than the ground color of primaries. Ex- 

 pands 2 inches; 50 mm. 



Hab. Colorado. Bruce, and $ . 



I take pleasure in naming this fine species after its discoverer.
