346 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



blotch is near the outer margin between Mi and M3, and another less 

 distinct is at the anal angle ; through the centre of these blotches the 

 subterminal line runs. Cu. is usually lined with dark brown scales on the 

 basal half or centre, and the veins of the media are also slightly marked 

 with a similar colour inwardly of the extradiscal line. Discal spot dark 

 brown, longer than broad, very distinct. Fringe whitish, silky, pale brown 

 at the veins. Secondaries with about four white lines on basal half of 

 wing, beginning at inner edge and disappearing toward centre. A 

 geminate sinuous white line crosses at outer two-thirds and corresponds 

 to the extradiscal line of fore wings. Subterminal line white, wavy. 

 Terminal line brown, sometimes interrupted, distinctly wavy at inner 

 angle. Discal spot dark brown, elongate, distinct. Beneath silky, cream 

 coloured, the delineations of upper side faintly showing on costa. Discal 

 spots faint and rather small. 



Described from a number of specimens, representing both sexes, in 

 the Rutgers College collection.

Sciagraphia Yavapai, new species. — Expanse, 26 mm. General 

 colour leaden-gray, with a reddish-umber hue and with black atoms 

 sparsely scattered over the body and wings. Costa of primaries flesh 

 coloured, marked with small but distinct black flecks on basal third and 

 larger ones on the centre. Intradiscal line ochre-brown, narrow, begins 

 one-fourth out on costa, and is slightly outcurved to inner margin. 

 Extradiscal line concolorous with the first, begins on costa over two-thirds 

 out from base, extends outwardly to Mr, then with a faint in-and-out 

 curve to Cu. i, and with a sharp inward semicircle to inner margin, ending 

 two-thirds out from base. This line is marked on the costa by a distinct, 

 rather large black spot, on the inner margin by a smaller one and by five 

 dots on the veins from Mi to Cu. 2 inclusive. Terminal line a series of 

 small intervenular spots. The basal and median areas are uniform in 

 colouring, the outer area slightly darker and with a dark shade-spot in the 

 centre bordering the extradiscal line. Discal spot an irregular elliptical 

 ring with several ochre-brown scales at each end, indicating a median 

 transverse line. Secondaries with numerous inconspicuous transverse 

 dashes, giving the wing a finely-mottled appearance. A transverse ochre-
