 rather even terminal yellowish band. Discal dot and mesial band 

 obscurely marked. Hind wing paler than fore, yellowish along costa and 

 outer margin. Discal dot well marked. Mesial band rather irregular.

Type. — $. Huachuca Mts., Arizona, August. 



Dypterygia m'morata, n. sp. — $ .' Expanse, 30 mm. 



Fore wing dead black, exactly the same shade as scabriiiscula, which 

 species the present one resembles in a general way. The fore wing is 

 crossed and marked with a number of velvety-black fragmentary lines, 

 as well as blackish streaks along veins. A few whitish scales along the 

 outer end of cell indicate position of reniform. The s. t. line can be made 

 out in an indefinite way, but is only well marked at inner margin. The 

 outer portion of the wing is lighte:ied with flesh-coloured shades, quite 

 well marked at inner angle beyond t. p. line, and has a W mark in centre 

 of wing, cutting through fringe. Inner margin also presents a narrow 

 flesh-coloured band, crossed by a couple of black streaks. Fringe slightly 

 scalloped, concolorous, with an admixture of flesh-coloured scales. Three 

 minute flesh-coloured dots on costa before apex, preceding which are four 

 or five outwardly oblique black bars, indicating the inception of ordinary 

 lines. 



Hind wings blackish-fuscous, darker outwardly, with barely traceable 

 pale mesial band, fringe pale, somewhat darkened from apex to middle. 



Beneath, fore wings smooth, even blackish-brown, gray, with a fleshy 

 tinge along costa, somewhat paler at outer edge. The beginning of the 

 mesial band can be seen, but not traced across wing. Hind wing 

 yellowish-white towards base, reddish-brown along costa and beyond the 

 well-marked mesial band. 



Head and collar gray, mixed with flesh-coloured scales. Well-marked 

 narrow black band through middle of collar. Thorax concolorous with 

 fore wings. Patagise with some black scales along border. Thorax 

 posteriorly with many flesh-coloured scales, forming a pale spot as in 

 scabriuscula, though not so distinct.
