THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 239 



and i? narrow and sharply defined above the connecting shade, below it 

 is not so sharply limited, and fades out as it readies the inner angle. 

 These bands divide the wins; into three areas, a basal to the median shade, 

 one above outer half of inner margin, and one below outer half of costa. 

 The first two are not so sharply defined on the borders which are formed 

 by the pink bands, as these are here more diffuse and shade into the 

 yellow, the last, however, is clear cut at its outer and lower sides. The 

 outer edge of the marginal band is regularly toothed, the points just 

 reaching the basal fringe line. The filling between the teeth is yellowish, 

 dusted with pink. The fringe is pink outwardly, somewhat lighter 

 yellowish internally, basal line pink, not very distinct. Secondaries pale • 

 yellowish, quite thickly dusted with pink over outer half of wing, forming 

 a broad pinkish band from costa, fading out shortly beyond middle of 

 wing. Fringe concolorous. 



Beneath primaries quite thickly dusted with pink, except along inner 

 margin and a subapical patch, which are yellow. Secondaries have a pink 

 blotch at middle of costa, from which a faint, broad and diffuse mesial 

 band runs partly across wing, disappearing about the middle. 



Type: 2 9 's, Arizona, Huachuca Mis., August; Santa Catalina 

 Mts., August 24-jo. The latter specimen from Mr. Poling. 



Grotella blanca, n. sp. — Expanse : 26 mm. 



White with a satiny lustre. Slightly dusky along median vein. 

 Extreme edge of costa at inner third blackish. Eight black points 

 arranged as follows : One at base of wing, just below median vein, three 

 representing t. a. line, one on costa, one on inner margin and one just 

 below median vein, slightly within a line connecting the other two, four 

 representing t. p. line, one on costa, slightly beyond middle, one exserted 

 beyond end of cell, one on inner margin, slightly beyond centre, and one 

 slightly above and external to it. Fringe white. Secondaries dusky. 

 Median band apparent, though not prominent. The wing beyond the 

 line is a couple of shades darker than within it, and as the line lies almost 

 through centre of wing it divides it about equally into an inner lighter and 

 outer darker portion. This contrast is not very marked, and is best seen 

 when wing is slightly shaded from direct light. 



Beneath : primaries dusky-blackish, darker outwardly. Rather 

 diffuse median shade, broad on costa and beyond cell, shading out \ 

 towards inner margin. Fringe white, contrasting. Hind wings dusky 

 along costa and a broad outer band, more marked at external angle, 

 shading out towards inner angle, rest of wing whitish. Head and thorax
