OF WASHINGTON. 89 



cubital vein, being slightly angled on the radial vein; from cubitus it 

 bends inward and runs obliquely with a gentle inward curve to inner 

 margin. The extradiscal line begins one-fourth in from apex, extends 

 outward in a straight line nearly to Mi, then bends sharply inward, 

 forming a right angle to the first part and runs in an almost straight 

 line to inner margin. The two lines divide the inner edge into three 

 equal parts. Discal spot brown, distinct, not very large. Secondaries 

 with a single, outwardly curved median line extending from inner edge 

 two-thirds across the wing, being scarcely traceable in the female. 

 Discal spot absent. Beneath soiled-whitish, with a faint yellowish 

 cast, the transverse dashes of above heavily reproduced, especially 

 on primaries and more profuse on outer third of both wings. Small 

 discal spots on both wings. 



Described from 2 males and I female. 



Habitat. Southern Arizona (Poling). 



Type. No. 11875, U. S. National Museum. 



This species falls in that section of Gonodontis which con- 

 tains distycharia Gn. and antidiscaria Walk, and is in fact 

 nearly related to the former. Like distycharia it appears sub- 

 ject to considerable va: ation, but may be readily separated by 

 the mottled wings and the absence of a pale yellow edging 

 with which both lines of distycharia are bordered. 



Sabulodes amplicineraria Pears. 



Three males, Southern Utah (Poling). In the absence of 

 a male the species was tentatively referred to Sabulodes by Mr. 

 Pearsall. Males now in hand show the reference to be correct. 

 Examples were taken not uncommonly during the season of 

 1907 by Mr. Tom Spalding at Stockton, Utah, in June, August, 

 and September. 



Sabulodes ligata, n. sp. 



Expanse, 33-37 mm. Head, thorax, and abdomen ochreous white. 

 Wings concolorous, well scattered over with blackish atoms, slightly 

 transverse in position, and with faint transverse buff colored dashes, 

 most evident on primaries between the two cross-lines. Intradiscal 

 line of primaries one-third to one-fourth out from base, brown or 

 ochreous in color and edged internally by a clear line of ground color; 

 it extends a little inwardly obliquely, scarcely curved, but angled out- 

 wardly on anal and cubital veins; costally this line is obsolete. Extra- 

 discal line of same color as intradiscal and bordered with a band of 

 ground color externally; it begins narrowly on costa less than 4 mm. 

 in from apex, curves inward a short distance below origin, and extends 

 straight or slightly outcurved to inner margin, ending over one-third 

 in from anal angle. Discal spot moderate in size, brown. Secondaries
