the first two followed inwardly by a minute spot of similar colour ; an 

 obscure spot just beyond cell, from which a faint broken brown line 

 proceeds to middle of inner margin ; beyond this another faint line com- 

 mencing at vein Mj and ending above inner margin in a reniform spot, 

 slightly lighter than ground colour ; a brown dentate submarginal line, 

 most prominent at apex. Secondaries hyaline, tinged with yellow at anal 

 angle. 



Beneath hyaline ; primaries broadly suffused with dark ochreous at 

 apex and outer margin ; costal margin of both wings yellowish, a brown 

 mark just beyond cell, and an incomplete submarginal row of spots of 

 same colour. 



Expanse, 43 mm. 



Habitat. — Santa Catalina Islands, Calif. 



Type. — I (^ , coll. Barnes. 



This species is closest to maculata, var. eu7-eka Dyar, differing from it, 

 however, sufficiently in the presence of the dentate submarginal line and 

 other points of detail to warrant description. 



Litodonta contrast a, n. sp.

 margin ; in costal portion filled with whitish and followed by a grayish 

 median shade. At extremity of cell a thin, black, S-shaped mark. T. p, 

 line scarcely visible as a geminate series of lunules, convex inwardly. A
