central shading on the secondaries. Also that in one specimen the hind 

 wings show a distinct median fascia beneath, usually indicated by a costal 

 mark. In the pale yellow specimen this lighter shade replaces the deep 

 yellow of the hind wings beneath. The t. p. line is marked by bluish 

 metallic dots.

£ . The eyes are constricted, naked. The antennae naked. The 

 body squamation is rough and hairy. The fore wings are narrow at base r 

 with depressed costa, and widen terminally. In ornamentation the moth 

 resembles Tarache flavipennis. The fore wings are olive blackish with 

 gray or smoky whitish fringes, terminal space and median costal blotch 

 which exhibits the black discal point as in T. flavipennis. The pale color 

 also intrudes on costa before the s. t. line. The ordinary lines are frag- 

 mentary, marked by velvety points. Hind wings fuscous, yellow stained 

 on the disc, with pale interlined fringes. Beneath yellow with blackish 

 hind and external margins to the hind wings and costal stain, while on 

 the fore wings there is a subterminal fuscous fascia, discal mark and costal 

 stain above it j the fringes are pale. Body fuscous and mixed with pale 

 hair. At first this insect looks like the possible male of T. flavipennis, 

 but it differs apparently generically by the shaggy vestiture and narrow 

 eyes. It differs in ornamentation by the terminal space being distinctly 

 pale and by the want of metallic points on the t. p. line. Expanse 26

California, No. 2575, Mr. Hy. Edwards. The specimen does not 

 seem to differ from my material from Alabama. 



100. Galgula subpartita Guenee. 



Sauzalito, Nov.- nth, No. 211, Mr. Behrens. The specimen is paler 

 and more distinctly marked than Eastern specimens, but seems to belong 

 to the same species. 



iqi. Drasteria erechtea (Cramer.) 



California, No. 1, Mr. Behrens. The specimens of this variable 

 species agree with the typical form of the East, but are larger.
