DESCRIPTION OF A NEW SPECIES OF ANNAPHILA 



FROM CALIFORNIA. 



BY LEON F. HARVEY, M. D., BUFFALO, N. Y. 



A?i?iaphila immerens, n. s. 



This is perhaps the slightest species of the genus yet known. 



The blackish gray fore wings show the median line distinctly ; the t. p. 

 line is incepted nearer the apex than usual, denticulate, slightly rounded 

 opposite the cell, and unusually strongly inflected below the black mark, 

 which denotes the reniform spot. The orbicular is a black dot. The 

 t. p. line is bordered outwardly with a pale shade. Hind wings deep 

 orange yellow, without dot or median line ; the latter obsoletely indicated 

 at internal margin. A very narrow terminal black line, inwardly dentate 

 above submedian fold ; fringes fuscous. Beneath orange yellow, immacu- 

 late, with narrow even blackish edging and fuscous fringes. On primaries 

 costal traces of a transverse line. Body blackish fuscous. 



Exp. 20 m. m. Hab. California.
