ANESVCHIA. 



A. 7nu}tipunctcUa. y. sp. 



Second joint of the i)alpi dark l)ro\vn, tii)pcd beneath with scattered 

 white scales, and with a few scattered white scales above ; third joint 

 white, tipped beneath at the base with dark brown ; face black; vertex 

 white, with a central black spot ; antennae fuscous ; thorax white, with six 

 black spots, one of which is placed close to the ])ase of the wings and is 

 continuous with the dark brown of the wings ; two others on top, and one 

 on each side a little before the tip. Primaries shining dark brown or 

 black, with a wide white streak extending along the dorsal margin from 

 the base nearly to the tip, and a white costal spot close to the tip ; there 

 is a sinus, or projection of the white into the dark brown portion, just 

 before the middle, and from thence to the tip the line between the two 

 •colors is irregular, with another sinus behind the middle ; there is a small 

 black spot in the white at the first sinus, and six others along the dorso- 

 apical margin at the base of the ciliae, and another in the costal white 

 spot, or more properly, perhaps, there are three in the costal white spot, 

 two of them being confluent with the dark brown color around it ; ciliae 

 white, except at the tip. AL ex. \% inch. Season, April and May. In 

 nine specimens I detect no variation. 



A. minisdla. N. sp. 



Palpi pale yellowish ochreous ; the second joint has two brown spots 

 on its outer surface, that nearest to the base being largest ; the third joint 

 has the base and tiji dark brown. Head pale yellowish or nearly white ; 

 antennae })ale fuscous ; thorax pale yellowish ochreous, with four brown 

 spots, two of which are al)OUt the middle and one on each side near the 

 tip. Primaries white, faintly tinged with ochreous yellow, and with a 

 rather wide golden brown basal streak, which begins near the costa and 

 diverges thence to the end of the cell, and from thence narroAvs and 

 becomes more diffuse towards the apex, which it does not quite attain. 

 The costal whitish portion is more streaked and suffused with ochreous 

 than the dorsal portion, which has a small brown spot before the middle ; 

 there is likewise a row of small brown spots around the apex, at the base 

 of the ciliae. AL ex. \\ inch. Season, April and May. 



I have not examined the neuration, and the ornamentation is unusual 

 in the frenus ; but the other characters are those of AncsxcJiia.
