lower margin irregular, the stripe projecting slightly about center 

 of wing in small quadrate patch towards inner margin, bordered 

 basally with blackish and with brown patch beyond the projection; 

 outer boundaries of stripe diffuse, two faint narrow black lines ex- 

 tending beyond it on each side of vein 4 to termen ; slight sprinkling 

 of gray scales above anal angle; costa and inner margin shaded with 

 black-brown basally; indistinct series of marginal dots extending 

 from costa before apex to anal angle; fringes brown, cut by ochreous. 

 Secondaries smoky ochreous at base. Beneath smoky brown tinged 

 with ochreous. Expanse 33 mm. 



Habitat: San Antonio, Texas? 1 cT. Type, Coll. Barnes. 

 Eulepiste pyramellus, sp. nov. (Fig. 4.) 



cf. — Antennae annulate; palpi rather smooth, upturned to 

 above front, but not appressed; front pale ochreous, thorax darker; 

 primaries an admixture of pale gray and brown scales, maculation 

 very indefinite and indistinct, in well-marked individuals consisting 

 of a brownish blotch in cell near base, another at end of cell and a 

 third midway between these two above inner margin, these latter 

 are at times connected outwardly by a whitish oblique waved line 

 which is usually more or less obsolete; indistinct costal and ter- 

 minal dark dots; secondaries and underside unicolorous smoky 

 brown. Expanse 23 mm.

The species appears to be intermediate between hirsutus Bsk.

cf. — Antennae very slightly serrate below, palpi upturned, 

 roughly haired, brown ; thorax chocolate-brown; primaries chocolate

 upper edge of th's oc reo. s stripe irregular with prominent blunt 

 tooth of ground-colour projecting downward towards middle of 

 inner marg'n; before and after this tooth the margin is rounded, 

 bent ?harply upwards, beyond origin of vein 3 as far as vein 7, 

 bending again at right angles and attaining termen below apex, 

 forming a large subquadrate terminal ochreous patch; faint ter-
