dusky. The veins are marked where lines cross with fine black dashes, 

 more generally beyond discal space. Hind wings well extended, rounded 

 as in Euchoeca, paler dusky-white, crossed beyond cell by four indistinct 

 curved gray lines, much broken and waved, the inner crossing at end of 

 cell and quite distant from the others. Discal dots wanting in most 

 examples, sometimes discernible on fore wings. Beneath dusky. Extra 

 discal and sub-terminal lines on fore wings are reproduced faintly, darker 

 at costa, the latter crossing the wing, the former lost before reaching inner 

 margin, intervenular black line on margin distinct. Hind wings with 

 lines as above faintly reproduced, discal dots very small and faint.

The specimens described were received through Mr. G. Franck, of 

 Brooklyn, the male from Plumas Co., Cal.; the female from Pasadena, 

 Cal. My examples from Pasadena are much more suffused and darker 

 than those from other parts of California. 



Euchceca exJnunata, n. sp. — In form a miniature of V. cambrica^ 

 about one-half its size. The texture of the wing is much heavier than any 

 other species in the genus, as much so as in cambrica. Front broad, 

 rounded, dark seahbrown above, mixed gray and white ; palpi short. 

 AntenUcU compressed ciliate in J , simple in V • Colour chalky-white, 

 not shining, with gray and black scales intermixed, these forming into 

 about six diffuse waved lines, crossing both wings. Of these the basal 

 and extra discal are mostly black and heavier. Basal line on fore wings 

 forms a regular outward curve from costa to inner margin, without angle 

 or waving. Within this are three or four wavy, paler gray lines, giving to 

 this section cjuite a dark appearance. Beyond the basal line the wing is 

 generally a clear gray, sometimes white. The extra discal line is black, 

 with a large angle below costa to cell, then forms a complete semicircle 

 opposite cell, from lower point of it running straight to inner margin. 

 Outside of this, and parallel with it, and sometimes of the basal line as 

 well, there is a line of yellow-brown scales, interrupted on the veins by 

 heavy black dashes, the two opposite cell being large and diffuse. There 

 follows a clear white space, like a waved line, crossing both wings, and 

 conspicuous in all specimens. Subterminal line of darker scales, heavy 

 at costa, sometimes entire, sometimes fading out opposite cell. Subter- 

 minal space clear light gray, darker iii suffused examples. Fringes long 

 dusky-white. An intervenular black line just within the margin of both 

 wings. Hind wings with basal portion clear gray, the basal line of fore 

 wings often continued with a slight curve to inner margin, as an indefinite
