black shade, most distinct opposite cell and towards inner angle. The 

 s. t. line is projected through to outer margin, forming a rather obscure 

 W mark in centre of wing. The mesial portion of wing is more covered 

 with black scales than the subterminal. Orbicular distinct, round, black- 

 ringed, pale, with dusky centre. Reniform, kidney-shaped, large, erect, 

 distinct, filled with ground colour, somewhat darkened at upper and lower

 of fringe, which is dark and cut with white at ends of veins. Plind wings 

 fuscous brown, with rather distinct discal bar. Fringe slightly paler, with 

 slightly darkened line at base.

Matnesira Palmillo, n. sp. — Expanse, 40 mm. 



Fore wings yellowish-brown, with darker purplish shades. Basal line 

 barely traceable. T. a. line not discernible in the specimen before me, 

 though possibly it would be so in a fresher specimen. T. p. line notice- 

 ably exserted beyond cell, scalloped between veins. S. t. line indicated 

 by a slight darkening of the wing before it. Veins darkened, especially 

 in terminal portion of wing. The shade before s. t. line is emphasized 

 in the intervenular spaces. Fringe concolorous, with well-marked darker 

 blotches between ends of veins. Shallow dark hmules at edge of wing 

 between veins. Orbicular round, dark-ringed, centre concolorous. 

 Reniform of good size, upright, constricted in centre, dark-ringed, within 

 which is a second dark ring, filling concolorous. Claviform present, 

 moderate in size, dark-ringed. Hind wing pale yellowish-white, fringe 

 somewhat darker from adm'xture of yellow and purplish-brown hairs. 



Head and thorax concolorous with fore wings, the patagise being 

 bordered with somewhat darker hairs, as is also the thorax posteriorly. 



Abdom'en with somewhat more of a pinkish tinge than wings. 



Beneath, fore wings somewhat paler than above, slightly darkened 

 towards costa and apex. Fringe checkered. Hind wings similar to fore, 

 except the fringe is not checkered. 



Type. — Southern .Arizona.
