Vol. XXvii] ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. 2? 



The species flies only near the shore of the ocean and the 

 larvae probably live on some of the "salt grasses" growing in 

 the swampy places. It is an interesting species and quite con- 

 spicuous owing to the depth of color deep reddish ochre 

 with shades approaching white. 



15. Melitaria fernaldalis Hulst (?). A single specimen in the 

 collection of Geo. H. Field, San Diego, October. 



I have never seen another specimen of this species. It is 

 quite large and rather inconspicuously marked. This particu- 

 lar specimen looks much like the darker specimens of M. 

 edzvardsalis. 



16. Yosemitia graciella Ilulst. Three specimens in the collection 

 of Geo. H. Field, La Puerta, Cal., July. A fine species and has 

 the typical desert appearance. 



17. Yosemitia maculicula Dyar. Four specimens in the collec- 

 tion of Geo. H. Field, one a cotype. March and June, San Diego. 

 Seven specimens in my own collection. A rather neat little species. 

 The earlier captures seem to be somewhat darker in color. 



18. Euzophora aeglaeella Rag. Mr. Field has one fine specimen 

 of this very interesting species which seems to be quite rare in 

 this locality. 



19. Euzophora fuscomaculella n. sp. 

 Venation typical. 



Antennae but slightly bent above the base, lamellated tufts in the 

 bend more or less appressed, beyond ciliate, outer one-third slightly 

 setose on both sides. 



Palpi. Labial palpi ascending, slender, scarcely exceeding the head, 

 third member half the second, dark fuscous, white annulus at second 

 joint. Maxillary palpi distinct, rather heavily scale-tufted at the tip. 



Primaries. Expanse, 28 mm., light gray, well sprinkled with fus- 

 cous scales on the disk and outer third, dusted with black scales on 

 outer costal region, washed with fuscous along the inner margin, 

 nearly straight on the costa, a large irregular dark fuscous spot near 

 the base. Basal line moderately remote, white, a rather deep sinus out- 

 wardly near the middle, strongly bent inwardly on the median, nar- 

 rowly margined with fuscous inwardly below, and a broad dark fus- 

 cous spot costally on the outer side. Outer line pale, indistinct, a sharp 

 tooth inward on the subcostal vein, wavy dentate below. Discal spots 

 coalescing to form a dark lunule, the lower limb extending towards 

 the outer angle and becoming lost in a pale fuscous shade; a whitish 

 streak in the middle field just above the discal fold. A terminal row 

 of blackish dots.
