191 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



well defined. Fringe whitish at base. Discal spot rather small, round, 

 distinct. Secondaries with two median, quite broad, straight lines, 

 extending from inner margin two-thirds across the wing toward costa. 

 The outer one is bordered by a pale brown band. A basal line continuous 

 with the intradiscal line of primaries. Subterminal line whitish, wavy, 

 shaded inwardly with brown, running subparallel to outer margin. Ter- 

 minal line black, irregularly scalloped. Fringe as in fore wings. Discal 

 spot present. Beneath smoky, costai with pale brownish cast ; extradiscal 

 line of primaries faintly showing ; discal spots present. 



Types : Male and co-types in the Brooklyn Institute Museum; female 

 and co-types in the author's collection, and co-types with Mr. Ceo. H. 

 Field, of San Diego, California. 



Habitat : California, Monterey Co. (Doce); San Diego Co., Bat., VI, 

 30; Thyce Camp, VII, 1; Jacumba, VII, 3; Pine Valley, VII, 5; Talley's, 

 VII, 8 (Field). 



In ornamentation the species is nearest to Hulstina (Sel'uiosema) 

 formosata, Hulst, but besides differing in structure is broader-winged, and 

 the two median lines of the hind wings are straight, not parallel to the 

 curved outer margin as in H. formosata. 



This species was originally included in a paper published in the Jour. 

 N. Y. Ent. Soc, March, 190s, but was excluded at the last moment on 

 the discovery of its similarity to Sel'uiosema Wrightiaria % Hulst. I have 

 seen but one of four types of this later species, and while it does not 

 expand 28 mm., it is, I believe, one of the specimens from which the species 

 was described. It is apparently as prevalent in Southern California as 

 Cleora agrestaria, and it is possible that one or more specimens of this 

 latter species were included in the description of Wrightiaria, hence the 

 measurement, 28 mm.; but whether or not this is the case, I propose to 

 hold Hulst's name on the type that is now in his collection. 



Wrightiaria is a smaller species than agrestaria, and as here limited 

 is a Se/idosema. This arrangement dees not interfere with the recent 

 result of Mr. Pearsall, by which he refers Chloroclystis inconspicua, Hulst, 

 as a synonym of 6". Wrightiaria, for while inconspicua may equal 

 Wrightiaria, it certainly is not agrestaria. 



Cleora fragilaria, new species. — Expanse : J , 30-33 mm.; 9 , 37-38 

 mm. Body and wings in general whitish-gray, the female with an even 

 scattering of brown scales, which gives to it a darker gray colour than
