THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 55 



double, distinct, filled with gray, quite evenly scalloped. T. p. line 

 distinct, especially above median vein, light tilled. Subtei minal line 

 brown, deeply toothed above median vein, more even in the next two 

 spaces and reduced to two small round spots in two following. The 

 spaces between the teeth down to the median vein are filled with bluish 

 gray externally and yellowish brown internally, the veins being narrowly 

 lined with brown. Three or four dark dashes precede the lighter space. 

 A fine dotted line at base of fringes, which are yellowish gray, darker at 

 ends of veins. Secondaries blackish fuscous externally, gradually light- 

 ening somewhat internally, fringes paler. Beneath fore wings blackish, 

 costa with two or three dark spots and about an equal number of light 

 ones. Veins at outer margin prominently margined with buff-coloured 

 scales. Hind wings somewhat lighter than above, veins as on fore 

 wings. The £ differs in having the colouring much less pronounced, 

 the basal space being largely encroached upon and obscured with 

 blackish, the median vein being black. Hind wings lighter above and 

 both wings very much lighter below. Types i pair in my collection from 

 Huachuca Mts., Arizona. 



Euthyatira Superb a, n. sp. 



£ expanse i^g inches. Head and thorax light brown with a 

 purplish tinge, the latter marbled with lighter purplish shades. Abdomen 

 yellowish fuscous, tufted. Palpi yellowish, externally darker, terminal 

 joint dark fuscous. Tongue yellow. Fore wings brownish, costa some- 

 what shaded with black, ordinary markings indistinct. T. p. line double, 

 lunulate, obscured at costal end by the dark shade. T. a. line black, 

 indefinite. Reniform ovate, erect, brown centred, lighter ringed, not 

 prominent. Orbicular a small scarcely discernible yellowish spot. 

 Veins lightly shaded with black a short distance on either side of 

 t. p. line. Fringes yellow with a darker yellow basal line. Terminal 

 line dark, lunulate, cutting fringes along veins. The lunules are filled 

 with ground colour in centre of wing, becoming more yellowish towards 

 apex and internal angle. Pinkish white scales line the excavations of the 

 terminal line, lightly towards apex, scarcely discernible at middle of 

 wing and prominently so towards inner angle. There are five large, 

 prominent, sharply-defined light-coloured spots on the wing. These are 

 more or less completely ringed with white and filled with shades of pink 

 and yellowish brown. The basal one is largest, extending completely 

 across wing and outwardly to t. a. line, the course of which it follows.
