size, oblique, lunate ralher than kidney shaped, pale yellow in colour. 

 The claviform extends almost across the median space, is black margined, 

 and filled with blackish. The basal line is gray, margined on each side 

 by black scales, obvious on the costa, and inwardly oblique through the 

 cell. The t. a. line is obvious as an upright, yellowish line through the 

 cell. T. p. line gray through the costal area and over the cell ; then 

 chiefly marked by the contrast between the median and s. t. spaces. S. t. 

 line marked only by the contrasting dark terminal space, which is crossed 

 by white rays on veins 3 and 4. There is a broken, black terminal line, 

 and a yellowish line at the base of the fringes. Secondaries white, be- 

 coming smoky at the outer margin, glossy, with white fringes. Beneath, 

 primaries smoky, except along the inner margin, where they are white. 

 Secondaries white, with a smoky patch at apex, which tends to form a 

 smoky outer margin.

Habitat. — Calgary, Alberta, head of Pine Creek, August 7, 16, at 

 light : Mr. F. H. Wolley Dod. 



One $ and four 9 ? are at hand, all in very nice condition. Mr. 

 Dod originally sent me this species among, some examples of subgothica, 

 which it resembles at first sight. It is, however, decidedly smaller, more 

 slenderly built throughout, much paler in colour, with white secondaries in 

 both sexes. The antennae of the male are less obviously '■' brush-like " 

 than in the allies, and, all together, the new form is perhaps the best 

 defined of any in this series. I cannot recollect having seen this from 

 any other or previous source. 



Carneades maimes, n. sp. — Ground colour brown, variably tinged from 

 luteous to smoky or ferruginous. Head usually of the suffusing tinge, 

 without obvious markings. Collar with a black central line, sometimes 

 with a white line below it ; inferior half of collar pale, contrasting in the 

 dark specimens, not differing much in those that run to reddish or luteous. 

 Thorax ranging from rusty red-brown to blackish without markings, 

 except for a diagonal white line which runs from the costal edge of the 

 primaries across the patagia. This is variably distinct, sometimes prom- 

 inent ; but always traceable in good specimens. Primaries with all the 

 maculation obvious, median vein prominently white ; costal region gray 

 powdered or with a luteous tinge ; a distinct yellowish bar from the end 

 of the claviform to the t. p. line ; ordinary spots prominently pale or 

 white-ringed, with usually more or less contrasting centres. Basal line
