14 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Papaipeina peralta^ n. sp. — Ex])an.se, 25 mm. 



Ground colour sea!-bro\vn, with slight olivaceous tint. Ordiuary mark- 

 ings faintly indicated by fine delicate tracings of white scales. Remaining 

 portions of fore wing are also sparingly dusted with white. Basal half- 

 line scarcely to be distinguished. T. a. line rather straight, inclined 

 outwardly to middle of inner margin, slightly wavy. T. p. line slightly 

 outcurved over cell, thence almost in a straight line to inner margin, '.wo 

 or three millimeters beyond t. a. line. S. t. line faintly indicated. A 

 scalloped terminal line and white line at base of fringes, which are in turn 

 tipped with white. Orbicular moderate in size, round, concolorous. 

 Reniform subquadrangular, rather large, concolorous, pale linear streak 

 through centre. Several white points along costa. The wing is a trifle 

 darker through the median space than either before or after it. Hind 

 wings similar in colour to fore, though somewhat more blackish outwardly 

 and more yellowish inwardly. Discal bar obscurely marked. Fringe 

 paler than wing, with dark mesial band. Head and thorax concolorous 

 with fore wing, scales tipped with white. Abdomen concolorous with 

 hind wing. Thoracic crest well marked in one specimen. 



Beneath, fore wing dark centrally, paler along inner and outer 

 margins. Three or four pale dots on costa near apex. Hind wing paler 

 than fore. Not very prominent discal dot and mesial band. Faint traces 

 of mesial band also in fore wing. Body parts beneath concolorous with 

 wings. 



Type. — Several specimens. Cochise Co., Ariz. Peralta is the 

 smallest species of the genus known to me, and without the endorsement 

 of Prof J. B. Smith I should hardly have thought of placing it in this genus. 



Maviestra Anio/iito, n. sp. — ^ . Expanse, 35 mm. 



Fore wings, ground colour rather pale pearly-gray, with somewhat of 

 a greenish-yellow cast. In most places largely obscured by dark brown 

 and black shades and lines. Basal line double, fragmentary, pale-filled, 

 indicated chiefly by dots on costa and below median vein. T. a. slightly 

 outwardly oblique, irregularly dentate, double, pale-filled, outer line 

 distinct, inner only apparent as dot on costa. Black diffuse median shade. 

 T. p. line moderately exserted beyond cell, thence with slight inward curve 

 to inner margin. Inner portion black, distinct, scalloped, with outward 

 projections on veins, outer portion scarcely traceable. A series of small 

 black points on veins beyond line. S. t. line white, incomplete and rather 

 fragmentary, preceded by some black scales and followed by well-marked
