234 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



line single, upright or a little curved, puncliform, marked by dots on the 

 veins and by powdery atoms in the interspaces. T. p. well removed 

 outwardly, best marked on the costa, then with an abrupt outward bend 

 over cell, evenly curved toward the inner margin, punctiform on the veins 

 as usual. The median shade is marked by an outwardly oblique trigonate 

 blotch, the i)oint of which reaches the bottom of the reniform, and below 

 this the shade is inwardly oblique, diffuse, and tends to become obsolete. 

 S. t. line marked on costa by a dusky triangular preceding blotch and, 

 below that point, partly by a narrow yellowish line and partly by preceding 

 or following powderings. A punctiform line at the base of the fringes. 

 Orbicular wanting. Reniform narrow, upright, dark-filled and forming the 

 most persistent of the markings, traceable in all specimens. Secondaries 

 smoky with paler fringes. Beneath, powdery, with a punctiform outer 

 line and a discal spot on all wings. 



Expands : i. 26-1.40 inches = 32-35 mm. 



Habitat. — Southern Arizona, April 15-30. Poling. 



Two males and five females in fair to poor condition. This species 

 has less conspicuously angulated and pointed primaries than any other of 

 the genus, and approaches Taiiiocampa pect'uiata somewhat in habitus. 

 The general appearance and the type of maculation suggest Perigoiiica^ 

 however, and for the present I consider the reference to that genus 

 warranted. 



Lythi'odes minutissima, n. sp. — Head white in front. Thorax dull 

 ochreous, with disc and patagia obscurely white-lined. Primaries pale 

 creamy-yellowish, interspaces marked with ochreous to or a little beyond 

 the middle, and from that point the veins are white-marked^ the line 

 extending through and cutting the fringes. Secondaries whitish. Beneath, 

 primaries pale smoky-yellowish, secondaries white. 



Expands : .56 inch = 14 mm. 



Habitat. — Yavapai Co., Arizona, May 21, 30, 31. Hutson. 



Three male examples in good condition. This, while not the small- 

 est in expanse, is the slightest of the Heliothids known to me, and is 

 almost Pyralidiform in appearance. The darkening by the ochreous 

 interspaces through the centre of the wing is characteristic. 



Cartipometra protea, n. sp. — Ground colour dull yellowish-brown, 

 overlaid by darker or lighter scales, ornamentation dark brown or black. 

 Head usually darker brown. Collar with a broad brown band across the 

 middle, or the lower half of the collar is dark. Thoracic disc, including
