10 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Habitat: New Westminster, British Columbia, 1896 (Fletcher) j 

 Northwest Territory (Ottolengui). 



Two males in good condition, very much alike, yet different. The 

 specimen from Dr. Fletcher came some years ago and was associated 

 with Momophana Comsiocki, because of the tendency to powder or 

 darken the outer portion of the median space. It was realized that the 

 wing form was somewhat different ; but this was not without the range of 

 possible variation, and I had an example from Oregon that I yet believe 

 to be Comstocki. The recei[)t of a fine example from Dr. Ottolengui 

 makes clear a close relationship to Feralia Jocosa, than which it is a 

 much larger and more intensely coloured form. It is quite likely that the 

 secondaries may vary to almost whitish with more or less blackish 

 powderings. 



Carneades ciiiereopallidus, n. sp. — Groundcolour a peculiar, very pale 

 ashen gray, more or less powdered with bluish dark gray scales ; a little 

 washed locally with luteous. Head concolorous. Collar with a blackish 

 line across the middle, below which is a whitish line or shade which may 

 involve the entire lower half Tip edged with white scales, then luteous 

 to the black line. Thorax with disc and patagia more or less whitish, 

 the edges of the latter sometimes edged with black : more evidently so in 

 the females. Primaries whitish powdered over the costal region ; a 

 luteous shading through the cell and in the s. t. space. A black, 

 geminate basal line is obscurely marked ; most obvious on and below the 

 median vein. Median lines practically lost : the t. a. marked by the 

 claviform and a slight difference in shade between basal and median 

 spaces ; t. p. a narrow ])aler line whicli is somewhat rigidly oblique. S. t. 

 line narrow, whitish, preceded l)y black scales which may form rather 

 vague sagittate spots. It is obviously dented by whitish rays on veins 3 

 and 4, which do not, however, quite reach the outer margin. \\'hitish 

 rays on veins 6 and 7 do not, or only slightly, dent the line. A series of 

 smoky, obscure, terminal lunules. A very pale yellow line at base of 

 fringes. Claviform narrowly outlined by black scales, concolorous, 

 usually with a ])aler shading above and beyond it. Orbicular oblique, 

 oblong, varying in width, open to the costa, sometimes outlined by black 

 scales, of the palest ground colour or a little whitish. Reniform rather 

 narrow, kidney-shaped, pale yellowish, sometimes contrasting ; not 

 outlined except by the rather sharp colour contrast. Secondaries white, 

 with a very narrow smoky edging in the male, a broader, variable outer
