space and the paler yellowish gray terminal space. A broken black ter- 

 minal line ; fringes yellowish gray. Hind wings fuscous in female and 

 with whitish bases in the male. Varies in the amount of fuscous shad- 

 ings on the primaries. Head and thorax yellowish fuscous. Beneath the 

 wings are light fuscous with faint double lines and spot on secondaries. 

 Exp. 28 mil. Havilah, Calif., Mr. Hy. Edwards, No. 6888. 



Perigea albolabes, n. s. 



Fore wings uniform glistening blackish fuscous with all the lines obso- 

 lete except the subterminal, which is represented by a row of white dots, 

 relieved by black scales. The seven white dots on the costa evident. A 

 white spot in the place of the reniform on median vein. The fuscous 

 fringes interrupted with dots alternating with the spots of the subterminal 

 line. Hind wings fuscous with soiled veins and paler bases. Beneath 

 the narrow terminal spaces on both wings gray, lighter and contrasting. 

 On hind wings double lines, the inner dentate, a discal spot. Fore wings 

 with double lines, the outer formed by contrast of color with the pale 

 terminal space ; no discal spot. Thorax concolorous with primaries. The 

 reniform above the white spot on fore wings can be faintly perceived 

 marked by detached black and white marks. Expanse 34 mil. Prescott, 

 Arizona, Mr. Hy. Edwards. 



Liihophane contaita, n. s. 



£ . Antennse more lengthily bi-ciliate than in the other species. Very 

 different from the two previously described Californian species, oregonensis, 

 which is like georgii, and carbonaria, a decidedly aberrant form, both of 

 which I have seen in Mr. Hy. Edwards' collection. The new form is 

 narrow-winged, soiled gray, and resembles petulca in its ornamentation, but 

 without the brown colors. All the lines obliterate ; the anterior indicated 

 by dots and streaks, strongly dentate. The reniform can be made out, 

 with a brown tinge. The subterminal line shows two black preceding 

 luneiform marks opposite the cell. Hind wings translucent fuscous ; 

 beneath with discal dot and extra mesial line indented opposite the cell. 

 The wings are reddish gray below, slightly irrorate with fuscous, faintly 

 colored ; the primaries with discal dot and fuscous from the base to s. t. 

 line. Collar brownish with marginal black line ; thorax like fore wings. 

 The median shade, angulated on disc, is noticeable on the primaries, on 

 which all the lines and markings are broken and dotted. Exp. 38 mil. 

 Calif., No. 4588, Mr. Hy. Edwards.
