Genus XANTIPPIDES, n. gen. 



Fore wing with vein 2 from well before the angle of the cell, 3 from 

 near the angle, 4-5 long-stalked, 6 shortly stalked with 7 to 9, 7 given 

 off before 9, 10 absent, n anastomosing with 12 and separating again; 

 hind wing with vein 2 from before the angle of the cell, 3 to 5 stalked, 

 6 from the upper angle of the cell, 7 anastomosing with 8. Palpi 

 small, upturned, not reaching the vertex. 



Type. Xantippe descansalis Dyar (Proc. Ent. Soc. Wash., 

 X, Nos. 1-2, p. 58, 1908). 



Xantippides descansalis Dyar. 



Known to me only by the types from San Diego, California. 



Genus ARTA Grote. 



Arta statalis Grote. 



Nearly all my specimens are from Arizona (Huachuca Mts., 

 and Wilgus, Cochise County), all but one having come through 

 Doctor Barnes. One bears only the number 375, but I think 

 it is from Los Angeles, Cal. (D. W. Coquillett). The species 

 may prove to be a synonym of Parachma ochracealis Walker, 

 which comes from the same region and is like it in color and 

 markings, but differs in having veins 4 and 5 of the hind 

 wings coincident instead of stalked. This may be a case of 

 variability in venation only. 



Arta olivalis Grote. 



I have one specimen from Texas, Belfrage's original col- 

 lecting, and another taken on Plummers Island, Maryland, by 

 Mr. August Busck. 



Genus AMESTRIA Ragonot. 



Amestria oculiferalis Ragonot. 



Not known to me, but should be easily recognizable from 

 Ragonot's figure. 



Genus CAPHYS Walker. 



Caphys bilinea Walker. 



Known from Brazil, Venezuela, the West Indies, and Cen- 

 tral America ; it also extends into Arizona, whence I have 

 specimens labelled So. Arizona (Poling), and Nogales, Ari- 

 zona, July 7 and 30 (E. J. Oslar). References and synonymy 

 will be found in Hampson's paper (page 678) ; this is the first 

 record of this as a North American species. The specimens 

 before me vary remarkably in size.
