between the whitish, broken subterminal line and the outer margin from 

 below the apex to the anal angle. Intra- and extradiscal lines and discal 

 spots as in the male, but, on a lighter background, are more prominent 

 and contrasting. .Beneath much as in the male, but the dusting of scales 

 is more even. 



Types : Two males and three females in the collections of Dr. Win. 

 Barnes and the author. 



Habitat : Santa Catalina Mts., Pinal Co., Ariz., July 24-31, Aug. 1-7, 

 Sept. (Barnes); Baboquivaria Mts., I'ima Co., Ariz., July 15-30 (Barnes, 

 Poling). 



This species is most nearly allied to Tornos scolopacinarius, Gn., but 

 is readily distinguished therefrom by the continuous cross-lines which in 

 scolopactnarius are represented by inconspicuous spots, or are absent 

 altogether. The male of erectarius is further distinguished from the male 

 of scolopacinaritts by its peculiar brown mottlings, which in the latter 

 species is a wry even chocolate-brown, tending in some cases to ochreous. 



Sclidoscma pulchella, new species. — Expanse, 31-34 mm. Head, 

 thorax, abdomen and ground colour of wings deep flesh colour, the more 

 prominent veins of the latter yellowish-buff. Antennae, palpi, front (except 

 inferior margin), and two dorsal spots at the apex of each abdominal 

 segment, light brown, [ntradiscal, median and extradiscal lines of 

 primaries incomplete, brown, originating on the costa in three equidistant 

 squarish or triangular spots. The first is traceable across the wing as a 

 rather broad, diffuse line curving outward and angled inwardly below the 

 cell. The second is broad, becoming diffuse in the cell, below which it 

 does not extend, except that it is indicated near the fork of the cubital vein 

 by two dots, the dots sometimes meeting at the junction of the fork. The 

 third curves strongly outward and inward, meeting the inner margin a 

 little outward of the middle, and is marked on all the veins by a moderate- 

 sized spot, those on the last median and first cubital veins being connected 

 by an inwardly curved line. From the anal vein to the inner margin there 

 is also an inwardly curved line, and a vague indication that all the spots 

 are connected by a scalloped line is present on one specimen. At the 

 inner margin, and in the middle of the wing just external to the extradiscal 

 line, are diffuse patches of scales. Subterminal line present on the anterior 

 part of the wing as intervenular patches of brown scales. Terminal line 

 brown, outwardly scalloped and marked at the acute angles by a distinct 

 spot; in slightly flown specimens these spots only are present to represent
