corresponding to silver spots above. Hind wings still paler, with faint 

 traces of mesial band in female. Head, collar, patagia and thorax 

 concolorous v/ith fore wings. Abdomen with more of a yellowish tinge 

 above, beneath paler. 



Types : I ^T , I ? , Pima Co., Arizona, July. Mr. Poling. 



Gloveria coronada, n. sp. — Expanse : (^ , 70 to 85 mm. 



Chocolate brown, one specimen slightly grizzled with gray. Hind 

 wings a shade lighter than fore. Fore wings with two pale whitish trans- 

 verse lines, one at inner fourth, moderately outcurved, even, distinct, 

 about Yz mm. in width. Outer line at about outer third broadly outcurved 

 around cell, then with slight inward curve to inner margin, at a point 

 somewhat beyond middle. The two lines are thus about twice as widely 

 separated on costa as on inner margin. The subterminal space is 

 somewhat paler than the concolorous terminal, in one specimen markedly 

 so. The subterminal line is only indicated by the contrast between the 

 two ; it is irregularly dentate, the pale extending outward along the veins, 

 almost to margin in places. A minute pale discal dot. Hind wing with 

 faint trace of pale mesial band. Fringes concolorous, extreme edge 

 whitish. Head and thorax concolorous, abdomen paler. Beneath fore 

 wings much paler than above, hind wings grayish at base, gradually 

 darkening to outer margin, where it is same shade as fore wings. Distinct 

 pale mesial band on both wings, fading out on hind wings before reaching 

 inner margin. There is a brown inner accompanying shade line, more or 

 less evident, especially on hind wing. Thorax and legs concolorous. with 

 fore and abdomen with hind wings. Antennae brown. 



Types: 4 $'%, Huachuca Mts., Arizona; i $, Chiricahua Mts., 

 Ariz. Mr. Poling. 



The colour and maculation remind one very strongly of psidii, but 

 the shape of the wings is altogether different, being much broader, more 

 like lo, or judging from the description, like quadrina. 



The above description applies to four of our specimens, a fifth, how- 

 ever, more recently received from the Chiricahua Mts., has the ground 

 colour of the fore wings replaced by gray to a much greater degree, the 

 transverse lines appearing brown, with faint pale accompanying shades, 

 and the subterminal line as an irregular row of brown spots. The 

 variation being the same so commonly seen in Ma/acosoma ( C/isiocatnJ>a).
