252 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Hulst. The type oi f est aria Hulst is in the Am. Museum of Nat. His- 

 tory, N. Y. City, and is quite a different insect. 



Nearest to viridicaria Hulst, but in that species the abdomen was 

 white in the four examples from Colorado, which were his types. The 

 "type" so labelled by Hulst in Bklyn. Inst. Museum is from Hot Springs, 

 N. M., 7,000 ft. altitude, and belongs to another species. 



Stamnodes affiliata, n. sp. — Expanse, 28-30 mm. Palpi long, stout^ 



dark brown, last joint ochreous, tipped with roseate. Front and vertex 



rosy ochre ; an irregular patch of black scales centrally, between antennae, 



extending in a line down front. Antennae rosy ochreous, irregularly 



mottled with black. Thorax and abdomen pale ochre, the former with a 

 central longitudinal blackish streak, the latter having segments darkened 

 anteriorly by heavy black atoms. All wings above, an even dark glossy 

 plumbeous much like Rickseckeri, but darker. Broadly along costa on 

 primaries, broken into irregularities by clusters of black scales, a band of 

 rosy ochre extends to and expands over the apical and outer marginal 

 areas. The basal portion of secondaries is frequently dusted with these 

 scales, its outer boundary being the curiously broken transverse line 

 beneath. Fringes rosy ochreous, cut with black at veins. No discal dots. 

 A faint, broad, pale line, beginning at costa half way out, runs straight 

 across wing, fading out at centre. This line can be traced in all the 17 

 examples before me, but often only by suggestion. Beneath, primaries as 

 above, the rosy ochreous scales broadly covering costa, ai)ex and outer 

 margin to middle. Short strigate markings of black cover this rather 

 thickly, more densely just outside the border of a narrow whitish (or clear 

 white) line, starting from costa one-fifth from apex, running across it with 

 a sharp outward trend to vein 8, thence inclined basally to vein 5, again 

 sharply outward to vein 3, where it turns inward, becomes faint and runs 

 parallel to outer margin to a point one-third within anal angle, at inner 

 margin. No discal dots or marginal line. Secondaries from base to 

 transverse line are evenly covered with roseate-ochreous strigate finely 

 with black. Outer area, having similar ground colour, is much darkened 

 to margin with black and plumbeous atoms and strigations, especially 

 along outer border of line. 'JMiis line, leaving costa a little more than half 

 way from base, makes a strong outward fcollop to vein 5, then with an 

 abrupt outward sweep or angle, makes a second long scollop to inner 

 margin, well within anal angle. One or two highly coloured examples
