THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 195 



Beneath fore wing fuscous, with slight reddish tinge; a. distinct, though 

 not jirominent, mesial band not reaching inner margin ; discal dot present. 

 Hind wings whitish outwardly, reddish-fuscous along costa and outwardly, 

 discal dot and mesial band as on fore wing. 



Type, I ^. Huachuca Mts., Arizona. 

 Tricholita baranca, n. sp. — ^ . Expanse, 28 mm. 



General colour seal-brown, with a slight reddish tinge, more 01 less 

 frosted with pale scale?. Head and thorax somewhat paler, showing less 

 of the reddish tint, owing to a greater admixture of the pale hairs. Ordi- 

 nary lines all tracable in perfect specimens, though not at all prominent. 

 Under the lens the veins seem to be somewhat darkened and very sparsely 

 coated with pale scales. Basal half-line evident, more noticeable from the 

 pale filling than from the only very slightly darker limiting lines. T. a. 

 almost transverse, irregularly dentate, slightly darker than ground colour, 

 accompanied by slightly i)aler inner shade. Median shade rather more 

 prominent than the other lines, outwardly oblique to lower end of reniform, 

 thence inwardly oblique to middle of inner margin. T. p. scalloped, only 

 fflightly exserted, beyond cell, thence quite direct to inner margin. S. t. 

 wavy, irregular, somewhat darker than ground colour. Median and 

 terminal spaces slightly darker than remainder of wing. Costal and basal 

 areas somewhat more frosted than remainder of wing. The inception of 

 the transverse lines on costa are somewhat darkened, the pale filling show- 

 ing as light dots. Towards apex there are three or four more pale bands, 

 none of which, however, are strongly pronounced, but plainly visible under 

 the lens. Fringe concolorous with terminal space, with faint darker basal 

 line and pale dots at end of veins. Claviform obsolete and orbicular 

 usually so, though in one specimen a faint minute brownish ring can be 

 made out under the lens. Reniform margined by white points, usually 

 four in the outer row and two or three in the inner, the outer row is much 

 better developed and the second from the Qosta is evidently composed of 

 the fusion of two others, as it is about twice as large and is in some 

 specimens partly divided. Between the two rows of pale dots the spot is 

 filled with reddish scales. The lower point of the inner row is the largest 

 in all the specimens before me, those lying above it showing more or less 

 of a tendency to become obsolete. Hind wings fuscous with more or less 

 of a reddish mixture. Very faint traces of discal dot and mesi:il band, 

 scarcely discernible except m certain light*. Fringe fuscous at base, 

 whitish externally. Beneath fore wings paler than above, darkened 

 centrally, paler along costa and inner margin. Traces of dark extra
