26 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [Jan., 'l6 



sprinkling of black scales. Pale ochreous streaks on vein i, the me- 

 dian, and a broader streak on the costa, all dusted with black scales. 

 Basal line distinct, pale ochreous, remote, perpendicular to inner mar- 

 gin, broadly toothed inwardly on vein I and on the median, a dark 

 streak on the costa and a blackish spot on the angle of the tooth. 

 Outer line concolorous, distinct, parallel to outer margin, subcrenu- 

 late, rather distant from margin, inwardly bordered by a narrow dark 

 line more prominent on the costa. Terminal space gray, more or less 

 suffused with reddish ochreous. Terminal line black. Blackish streak 

 at apex. Discal dots distinct. 



Hind wings fuscous, darker on outer margin and at the apex. 



Fringes lustrous, concolorous with the wings. 



Thorax reddish ochreous, palpi fuscous, darker at the tip. Abdo- 

 men gray and more or less distinctly annulate with lighter color. 



Cotypes, 3 males, one of which is in Coll. Geo. H. Field, and 

 two in my own. The right wings of one specimen are 

 mounted in balsam as a microscopic slide and bear the number 



"12." 



In general appearance the species is close to Lipographis 

 leoninclla, but may be distinguished by its broader wings and 

 the squarish termen. The species seems to be not common, 

 these three specimens being the total catch of two collectors 

 in ten years. 



12. Lipographis leoninella Packard. 



Some years ago the late Mr. Frank Merrick labeled two 

 specimens for me, one as L. leoninella, and the other as L. 

 humilis. They stood thus in my cabinet until recently when 

 I was led to make a close study of a series consisting of about 

 50 specimens. The result of this study has convinced me 

 that humilis does not occur in San Diego. Leoninella is so 

 plentiful that at times it becomes a nuisance, fairly clogging 

 the traps. I have often taken as high as 60 specimens in a 

 trap in a single night. 



13. Etiella schisticolor Zeller. I have but one specimen of this 

 fine species taken at Witch Creek, in the mountains, about forty 

 miles back from the coast. 



14. Sarata umbrella Dyar. I have two specimens, cotypes, 

 neither in very good condition, and Mr. Field has three fine speci- 

 mens in his collection. Thes five, with the two types in the 

 National Museum, are all that have been captured in this .vicinity 

 to date.
