198 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



discal marks. Both wings black at base ; subterminal black bands, 

 spreading to anal angle on secondaries. Body beneath pale olivaceous. 

 Thorax olivaceous shaded with brown. Expanse 17 mil. Habitat 

 Nevada, Mr. E. L. Graef. The single specimen is fresh, but the fore legs 

 are broken off. The outer line on primaries is white, indistinctly mar- 

 gined, even, slightly exserted, nearly upright. 



Lygranthoecia separata, n. s. 



$ . Allied to marginata, Thpreaui and saturata. Fore wings ochrey 

 purplish with a white cast. Lines regular, white, the inner lined with 

 dusky on the inside, the outer dusky margined on the outside. The inner 

 line greatly medially exserted, the angle obtuse. The outer line subrlexu- 

 ous, outwardly bent opposite the disc, where it nearly touches subterminal 

 line. Subterminal space darker than the rest of the wing, narrow; s. t. 

 line white, indented slightly opposite cell and before anal angle. A black 

 discal blotch ; fringes pale. Hind wings whitish with terminal interrupted 

 black band and heavy black discal spot. Beneath pale with subterminal 

 shades, two black discal marks on primaries, one on secondaries. Expanse 

 28 mil. Habitat Nevada, E. L. Graef. 



Tarache lanceolata, n. s. 



By its narrow and long primaries allied to angustipennis ; differing by 

 the white secondaries shaded with dusky before the fringes and the color 

 of primaries. These are whitealong costa to subterminal line and below 

 the middle of the wing deep olive green ; the green color twice cutting 

 the costal stripe .at the anterior and posterior lines, which are vaguely 

 defined. Below apices are two superimposed black longitudinal dashes 

 very narrowly edged with white ; below them a white diffuse shade widens 

 to internal angle. The discal marks are evident, round, olive colored, 

 the orbicular small. Fringe dusky, twice splashed with white. This form 

 much resembles angustipennis; the apical ornamentation seems to differ 

 strongly, as in the latter species the black dashes (reminding us of Cer- 

 intha) are totally wanting. One fresh specimen, Belfrage, Texas, May 

 6, No. 744, red label. Expanse 24 mil. The dark thorax is shaded in 

 front with white as in angustipennis. 



Eustrotia ret is. n. s. 



Allied to apicosa (nigritula) and closely resembling that species. A 

 little larger with darker secondaries. Primaries blackish with the anterior
