aria, l)ut the secondaries are lined above, the discal dots obsolete beneath 

 and the lines are further apart ; the general shape of the outer liiie and 

 position is as given in his figure 43. Color of Caberodcs Mdrocamparia^ 

 a fawn ochre, varying in pallor. Two brown diffuse lines, edged with pale 

 on fore wings ; the inner upright, but more or less uneven, in one example 

 toothed on costa. Surface slightly irrorate ; a dark discal dot. Second- 

 aries paler, with an incomplete mesial line, beneath more continuous and 

 bent. A single outer common line beneath ;■ in one specimen the discal 

 points on primaries indicated. The inner line on primaries is obsolete 

 beneath. Exp. 30 to 32 mil. Arizona. Two examples. Coll. Neumoegen. 



Tetracis Simpliciaria Gr. 



Two examples from Montana are smaller and paler than my Arizona 

 type. In this species the wings are deep ochrey, the hind wings pale and 

 unlined. The lines are pale on primaries, but one Montana male has them 

 dark. 



Therina Fervidaria Hubn. 



Two specimens from Arizona do not differ from the normal form. 



Semiothisa S-signata Pack. 



In every variety. Sometimes the inner line is as distinct and broad as 

 the outer. Sometimes the wing is ochrey, free from irrorations, again so 

 blotched as to be nearly fuscous or blackish. I can find no grounds for 

 naming the varieties, much less for finding different species. Arizona. 



LussA, n. g. 



A Hadenoid genus allied to Perigea, but of a singularly elongate 

 form, recalling Chilo. Abdomen slender, twice as long as secondaries. 

 Vestiture hair-like, mixed with rounded broader scales. Labial palpi 

 curved up over the flattened front, the long hairs from the terminal joint 

 reaching to base of antennte. Eyes naked ; ocelli present, but small. 

 Legs unarmed. A tropical looking insect, at first sight seeming to be a 

 Pyralid. 



LuSSA NIGROGUTTATA, n. S. 



^ . Antennae simple. The insect has the look of a Pyralid, but the 

 maxillary palpi are not present, and as far as I can see, the neuration is 

 Noctuidous. Body long, linear, slender, squamation appressed ; color a 

 faded grayish clay, fore wings narrow at base, no marks but a few black 

 dots, of which the subterminal series is continuous with a larger one af
