66 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Xafithodes amorata, n. sp. — Expanse, 28 mm. 



Fore wings pale straw colour, with yellowish-brown markings. 

 Blackish spot on costa, about two millimetres from base. Wing between 

 that and base brownish. Wing crossed by three narrow brown luies, the 

 first slightly before middle of wing, outwardly oblique to cell, transverse 

 across cell, thence inwardly oblique to inner margin ; the second strongly 

 outwardly oblique from costa to beyond cell, thence making an acute 

 angle inwardly oblique, witli slight inward curve to inner margin. This 

 line in upper portion somewhat heavier than the others. Third line 

 parallel to second, and about midway between it and outer margin. From 

 end of cell to outer margin there are two parallel brown dashes about a 

 millimetre apart, the upper one passing through apex of angle of outer 

 line. Submarginal row of small black dots. The vving, especially in the 

 mesial portion, is thinly dusted with brownish scales ; these are somewhat 

 more thickly grouped between the parallel dashes. Fringe brownish, with 

 a darker line at base. Hind wing pale yellowish-white, fringe concolorous. 

 Head, collar and thorax sligh'ly darker than ground colour. Abdomen 

 ground colour, slightly ringed with brownish. 



Beneath, fore wing yellowish-white, somewhat more yellow along costa 

 and at apex. Fringe brownish-black. The second line above quite well 

 marked below, and traces of the third can be made out. Hind wing pale 

 yellowish-white, slightly more yellow along costal half. Mesal band 

 partially crossing wing from costa. 



Fore legs with tarsi heavily coated with long yellowish-brown hair.

Lythrodes arivaca, n. sp. — ?• Expanse, 32 mm. 



Fore wings creamy-white, with faint yellowish tinge. Ordinary spots, 



a double band across middle of wing, and veins ochraceous-brown. 



Orbicular and reniform close together at end of cell, the former pale, 



centered with well-marked ring ; the reniform, which almost touches it, is 



lunate, with well-marked outer ring and dark centre. The inner of the 



two bands crossing wing is somewhat heavier than the outer. Beginning 



with rather a diffuse patch on costa, it passes, with a gentle curve, between 



the ordinary spots, then with a rather sharp angle downward and outward 



to inner margin. The outer line is separated from the first about a 



millimetre, and is parallel to it below the ordinary spots ; in the upper 

 portion of the wing it diverges somewhat, passing around the reniform ; 

 the space between the lines is filled with a paler shade of the same colour. 

 There is a faint flush of the same shade beyond the reniform, and to a
