All veins dotted with alternate white and dark brown dots as in the sub- 

 marginal area of fore-wing in Zenophleps lignicolorata. A dark brown 

 discal dot and faint indications of two or three parallel lines in the central 

 band. A marginal row of black dots, one dot on each side of each vein, 

 fringe concolorous with wing. Hind wings smoky grey, darker outwardly. 

 In the submarginal area the veins are dotted as in the fore-wings. A 

 small brown discal dot and marginal black dots as on the fore-wings. 

 Under surface of all wings darkened with smoke color, and on the outer 

 third the veins are dotted as above. The marginal black dots are also 

 reproduced. Expanse 37 mm. 



Described from one $ . Mountains near Claremont, Cali- 

 fornia. Collected by Prof. C. F. Baker, who has generously 

 placed the specimen in my collection. 



This species has a slight resemblance at first sight to Zeno- 

 phleps lignicolorata, but it may be at once distinguished by the 

 thickened and flattened antenna of the male. In Zenophleps 

 the antennae of the males are pectinated. 



There is not any other North American Geometer known to 

 me to which H. multipunctata bears any near resemblance. 



3. Hydriomena maguificata n. sp. 



This is a species somewhat resembling Hydriomena speciosata 

 Packard but very much larger. The type specimen has an 

 expanse of 45 mm., while speciosata ranges from 35 to 40 mm. 



The prevailing colors are black and green, but in the type 

 ( which has been relaxed) the green tints have faded, as such 

 tints generally do, to a light clay color. 



Palpi long, porrect, green, with spots of black, the extreme tip green. 

 Front green. Thorax green with black spots at sides and a conspicuous 

 black dorsal spot. Abdomen silky grey with black dorsal spots on the 

 posterior segments, the base of the terminal tuft being also conspicuously 

 black. The fore-wings green with black blotches, which appear to be . 

 parts of six broken transverse lines. The extreme base of the wing is also 

 black. The first three lines are intradiscal and are separate and con- 

 spicuous on the costa, but are united with an irregularly-shaped blackish 

 blotch, enclosing a green spot, on the inner margin. The fourth line is 

 extradiscal and is marked by about five narrow black blotches on the 

 veins. It does not reach the inner margin. The fifth line is in the sub- 

 marginal space and consists of a square black blotch on the costa, a much 

 larger one between veins 6 and 4 and a third extending irregularly from 

 vein 3 to the outer angle of the wing. The sixth line forms an irregular 

 margin to the wing. The fringe is pale outwardly, darker at base and
