TkTRACIS SlMIM U lAKIA. 11. S. 



Size rather small for this genus. Fore wings pale reddish ochrey, 

 entirely evenly colored, crossed by two median pale yellow lines, inner a 

 little curved, outer slightly bent. Costal edge yellow with faint speckles. 

 No darker marginal line. A minute discal dot. Hind wings whitish with 

 a broad vague outer yellowish shading, fringes paler ; no marginal line or 

 any marks on internal margin. Male antennae slightly pectinate. Thorax 

 like fore wings ; these latter beneath reflect markings of upper stirface. 

 Apices pointed, below them the margin is incurved to vein 4, where the 

 external angle is well produced. ExJ^ansc 30-31 mil. Arizona, J- Doll.

Chesias Frondaria (irote. 



Too late to make the correction in print, I found that this was our first 

 discovered species belonging to this genus ; our species is larger and its 

 resemblance to the European did not strike me. The genus is not found 

 either in California or the East. The fauna of Arizona and New Mexico 

 contains representatives of European genera not found elsewhere. Dr. 

 Packark's Chesias Occidenta/iata was wrongly determined generically, 

 and the moth proves to be Rupethecia Subapicata of Cuenee.

^ . Orange brown above ; the primaries crossed by three fuscous 

 bands : the inner continuous over the cell at about middle of wing; the 

 two outer broader, brought into relief on costa by the whitish yellow 

 ground color which there obtains between them. Hind wings with a very 

 indistinct basal line continuous with inner line of primaries ; a narrow line 

 continuous with second line : a broad band continuous with third line and 

 a marginal series of brown marks. Beneath fore wings orange with the 

 three bands distinctly repeated ; margin brown : ante-marginal space and 

 costal region at apex white. Hind wings white with three broad brown 

 bands and terminal brown marks ; the ground color distinctly and almost 

 equally liroadly obtains between the bands. Expanse 22 mil. New 

 Mexico. No. t.024. 



This is allied to Stalachtaria.\)\\\. differs by the equal alternating white 

 and brown bands of under surface of secondaries, the continuous line of 

 fore wings above over middle of wing and the less dee]ilv marked and 

 more separate outer bands.
