172 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



colour, bent and almost dentate at middle ; outer line very oblique, 

 black, heaviest towards costa and beginning well towards apex ; with a 

 deep sinus inwardly, then a strongly j^rojccting tooth outwardly at vein 5, 

 then a long reach inwardly, and two teeth before reaching inner margin ; 

 hind wings clear white, a fuscous marginal stain, the fringes somewhat 

 fuscous. 



Southern California. The insect has considerably the appearance 

 of Saleb7-la bi/ascieila, Hulst, and in some respects is structurally very 

 like Getulia jiavidorsclla, Rag. The genus Getulia was founded upon 

 the female only, and G. institella^ R^g-. a West African species, is the 

 type; whtihex /lav idor sella or coiistatitella are congeneric can not be told 

 till the male is found, but it is almost a certainty that consta?itella at least 

 is not. National Museum type No. is 4704. 



Megasis cinctella, n. sp. 



Expands 15 mm. Palpi and head fuscous; thorax fuscous, with 

 ochre tint ; abdomen ochre fuscous, more fuscous above and lower part 

 of sides ; fore wings gray, the \eins somewhat broadly and loosely whitish 

 gray ; basal line indicated by a dark spot at costa and another at 

 middle of wing; outer line blackish, fine, angled outward at vein 5, then 

 dentate, angled back again at vein 3, edged outwardly with whitish ; hind 

 wings transparent, with fuscous margin. 



Argus Mts., Cal. ; taken by Mr. Koebele, May 31 ; with the venation 

 oi Megasis, but while the palpi seem to be as in that genus, there has 

 been distortion of them, and I have the female only ; the generic 

 reference is therefore provisional. The National Museum type number 

 is 4705. 



Sarata cinereella, n. sp. 



Expands : ^ 32-34 mm., ? 26 mm. $, palpi long, slender, black 

 towards tip, gray basally ; front dull white to gray ; thorax light fuscous 

 to blackish gray ; abdomen fuscous ; fore wings of an even clear light 

 gray, made by a sprinkling of black scales upon a white field ; inner line 

 very faintly suggested by a darkening of colour; outer line suggested very 

 faintly by a shade of whitish ; hind wings light fuscous, with dark fuscous 

 marginal shading.
