The species is very neatly allied to Cleora emasculatum. Dyar, but is 

 slighter in build, and the cross-lines, though clearly defined, are narrower 

 and the shades are less conspicuous. Beneath the species lacks the 

 yellowish cast often present in emasculation, and does not show the anterior 

 half of the extradiscal line of the primaries which the latter very pro- 

 nouncedly does in all my specimens. It is the species referred to 

 occasionally as the western Selidosema humaria, and is found in collections 

 under that name. 



Stenasf Hates levisaria, new species. — Expanse, 30-33 mm. Entire 

 insect pale yellowish-white, more or less profusely sprinkled with fine 

 gray scales. Head and palpi with rather few gray scales ; thorax with a 

 very even distribution of the gray scales, while on the abdomen they are 

 clustered into small blotches. Intradiscal line of primaries whitish, scarcely 

 indicated or absent, begins less than one-third out on costa, extends 

 outward toward centre of wing, then curves around and runs evenly 

 inward to inner margin. Extradiscal line whitish, narrow, begins on costa 

 one-third in from apex, and extends, outwardly scalloped between the 

 veins, to the inner margin, the size of the scallops varying with the width 

 of the spaces between the veins. The space from the base of the wing to 

 the intradiscal line is covered with gray and brown scales, rather sparsely 

 at the base, but becoming more dense and more brown outwardly, until at 

 the extradiscal line little of the ground colour is visible except at the costa. 

 Inner half of outer space even pale yellow in colour, or with scattered 

 gray scales ; outer half thickly covered with gray scales. Terminal line 

 absent. Discal spot vaguely showing as a grayish spot. A brownish- 

 gray spot in each of the marginal angles of the wing. Secondaries pale at 

 base, becoming darker outwardly, and with a single, slightly scalloped 

 extradiscal line continuous with and similar in colour to the extradiscal 

 line of primaries. Grayish spots in the angles of the wing, and one to four 

 small, denned, black spots near the anal angle. Beneath pale yellowish- 

 white, profusely scattered over with grayish scales. The extradiscal line 

 of both wings appearing as rather even whitish lines. 



Types : Two males in the collection of Dr. Barnes and in my own 

 collection. 



Habitat: Santa Catalina Mts , Ariz, August 1-7 and September
