without sirong contrasts, more or less powdery and dotted, all the 

 maculation traceable. Basal line geminate, smoky, somewhat diffuse, a 

 little outcurved. T. a, line geminate, broketi, the two portions not entirely 

 parallel, a little oblique outwardly and somewhat outcurved in the inter- 

 spaces T. p. line often broken, the inner more or less kmulate or 

 crenulate, outer more or less punctiform, as a whole rather abuptly bent 

 opposite upper end of cell, and then almost evenly oblique to the margin. 

 In some specimens a supplemental series of dusky and yellow venular 

 dots crosses the s. t. space. Median shade broad, almost the darkest part 

 of the wing, oblique from costa between ordinary spots, then parallel with 

 and close to the t. p, line. S. t. line punctiform, yellowish, preceded by 

 a dusky shade, which really marks the line, and this dusky shading some- 

 times extends beyond, into the terminal space. Sometimes only the veins 

 are darkened and there is a checkered appearance. A series of small 

 dusky lunules is at the base of the fringes which have a dusky interline. 

 Claviform absent. Orbicular round or oval, not well defined, concolorous. 

 Reniform moderate in size, kidney-shaped, incompletely defined, usually 

 a little gray-powdered. Secondaries dark smoky with yellow fringes. 

 Beneath smoky, varying in shade, with a distinct extra median, and less 

 marked s. t. common transverse lines, and on the secondaries a distinct 

 dark discal spot.

 Catalina Mts., Pinal Co., Arizona, Aug. 26-30. 



Three males and three females in good to fair condition, all from 

 Dr. Barnes. The species is altogether unlike any of our previously- 

 described forms, and was at first sight associated with Pronoctua, as 

 probably a form oi phyllophora. It belongs in that section of Eriopyga, 

 as used by Hampson, in which the front is unmodified, anterior tibiae are 

 unarmed, abdomen not tufted, vestiture of thorax scaly hair, male antennae 

 ciliate, femora clothed with thin hair, and cell of male with long fine 

 decumbent hair, 



Himella flosca^ n. sp. — Ground colour a mottled-dull smoky-gray, in 

 which all the maculation is obscured. Front of head tending to become 

 a little paler ; collar pale-tipped. Primaries so mottled and the usual 

 lines so broken and little contrasting that it is difficult to trace them. 

 The geminate basal line is usually well enough marked. T. a. line seems 

 almost evenly oblique outwardly ; but is with difticulty followed out, T. p.
