MaCARIA PICTIPENNATA, 11. sp. 



Expands 23-27 mm. Palpi fuscous gray; thorax and front light, 

 clear gray ; abdomen gray, fuscous stained ; fore wings clear gray, over- 

 laid with blackish in fine dots and striations ; inner line faint across the 

 wing, with a black spot at costa, nearly straight ; median shade faint, also 

 black at costa; outer line white, only slightly sinuous, edged on both 

 sides with blackish, this becoming heavy black spots at costa and vein 4 ; 

 a submarginal shade and black or broken black margin ; hind wing 

 fuscous gray, darker outwardly, striated, without lines ; discal spots 

 evident on all wings, but not strong; beneath light gray with fuscous tinge, 

 and an ochre shading, nearly white on inner half of hind wings, the outer 

 third on all wings darker. 



Prescott and Senator, Ariz.; from Dr. Kunze. Taken July ist, and 

 Sept. ist to Sept. 9th, 1896. The insect is bright in appearance, resem- 

 bling Sciagraphia vmscariata, Guen., but brighter, and with outer line 

 not angled near costa, differing as well as in the antenna! structure of the 

 male. 



Nacophora quernaria, van atrescens, n. var. 



I have received this very marked form from Mr. Moffat, of London, 

 Ontario. The general colour is black with a narrow whitish basal line, 

 and a narrow whitish outer line, which broadens near inner margin. The 

 hind wings have an outer broad whitish band ; each of these is the edging 

 of the normal black lines of quernaria, these lines being evident in the 

 variety. Beneath as above, the colours a little sharper and less squamose. 



London, Ontario, Canada ; from Mr. Moffat. 



Sciagraphia spodopterata, n. sp. 



Expands 35-38 mm. Palpi, front, thorax and abdomen light fuscous 

 to nearly white, the abdomen being darkest and sometimes interlined with 

 black. Fore wings fuscous-white to white, the surface more or less 

 marked with points and cross striations of fuscous; lines three, subparailel. 

 black, equally distant, the basal and outer heavy, distinct ; the middle, 

 which is through the discal point, lighter and more variable ; these lines 

 are straight or slightly sinuous, continuing to the costa without the angle 

 or sharp bend so generally found near costa in species nearly allied, in 

 this respect resembling trifasciata. Pack. Outer margin somewhat lighter; 

 marginal line black. Hind wings gray-fuscous stained, or with consider- 

 able fuscous striations, with a basal and extra discal black line — these
