markings on primaries above reproduced in black, or by bright roseate 

 scales thickly strigate at apex and along costa. Secondaries entirely 

 covered with short roseate strigations, excepting a large snow-white 

 triangular spot near end of cell, and a broad white band, running from 

 inner margin at one-third from anal angle in a slight outward curvr. 

 frequently ending at vein 6, when it connects by a spur with central 

 spot. In one example a few black scales are scattered about this central 

 spot. Fringes pale, checkered with pink. No discal dots. Body beneath 

 and legs clay-yellow, -sprinkled with roseate scales. Abdomen as above. 



Types Two males, received through the courtesy of Mr. 

 George Franck, whose name I have given them. Taken in the 

 Chiricahua Mountains, near Douglas, Ariz., IX, 15, 08, and 

 IX, 20, 08. 



This species, about the size of formosata, has the stout wing- 

 texture, and decided coloring of seifertii, while beneath its 

 pattern copies the former, from which it differs in coloring. 

 In formosata the secondaries within white line to base are 

 strigate with black, while franckata is entirely roseate. 



Hydriomena regulata, new species. 



Expanse, 26 to 28 mm. 



Palpi very long, not stout, black with a few white scales above and 

 at tip, terminal joint long. Antennae slender, compressed. Front and 

 vertex white, washed with pale sea-green, a clear black line across 

 front below antennae. Thorax with intermixed scales of white, black, 

 and bluish gray, washed with green along sides, and on patagia. 

 Posteriorly an enormous tuft or cushion of livid scales, their tips curved 

 backward, rises 1 mm. or more in height. Across this centrally a nar- 

 row white band runs down over scutel, first and second segments of 

 abdomen dorsally having a narrow jet-black border on each side, and a 

 diffuse bright orange stain, where it crosses second segment. Other- 

 wise these parts are a soiled-white with a sprinkling of black scales, 

 gathered along dorsum into spots basally. Primaries with widely gemi- 

 nate, narrow black lines, marking the divisions. The basal pair barely 

 one-fourth out form a large angle at wing centre, inclining basally as 

 far as vein 1, below which, turning sharply outward, the outer reaches 

 inner margin nearly at centre. The basal portion enclosed, is pale 

 ashen, sprinkled with black scales and washed with sea-green. Intra- 

 discals leave costa nearly half-way out, the inner with broad angle 

 below it run in short waves inclining outward across wing, converging 

 as they reach inner margin, a little more than half-way out. The broad 

 band thus produced shaded heavily with black scales internally, is a 

 bright liver color, and a narrower one of same color, crosses wing to 

 anal angle, outside and parallel with the extradiscal. The extradiscal 

 lines, broadened at costa, and confused below it, leave it three-fourths
