described species ; but they are not sufficiently well marked, nor in sufficient 

 number, to warrant me in describing them at present. 



Anarta hampa nov. sp. 



Ground-color dull smoky fuscous with black and gray maculation. Patagia 

 ■with sub-marginal black line and gray disk, dorsum posteriorly mottled with gray. 

 Basal line black, outwardly shaded with gray, with two moderate angulations. T.a. 

 line black preceded by a gray shading, a little oblique outwardly, irregularly out- 

 curved. T.p. line denticulate, black followed by a narrow gray shading, moderately 

 outcurved and only a little incurved in its course. S.t. Une gray or yellowish, 

 marked by the evenly dark s.t. space, drawn in on veins 2 and 5, outcurved between 

 and on each side. A series of black terminal lunules. The fringes dusky, cut with 

 yellowish. A vague median shade in the paler examples. Claviform small, but 

 distinctly outlined. Orbicular small, round or oval, more or less gray-marked. 

 Reniform small, narrow, upright, with narrow pale ring, a little constricted centrally. 

 Secondaries very pale straw-color, almost white, smoky at base and along inner 

 margin, with a distinct discal mark, a narrow, almost crenulated outer line, and a 

 broad blackish outer margin; fringes white. Beneath, whitish, more or less shaded 

 with blackish, with a black discal spot, an extra-median blackish line, and a blackish 

 outer margin on all wings. Primaries with fringes checkered, black and white; 

 secondaries with fringes white. 



Expands 1.10-1.20 in. = 28-30 mm. 



Habitat: White Mountains, New Hampshire. 



Two males and one female, all in good condition. One of the males 

 came originally from Mrs. Slosson; the others have no indication of their 

 source, and none have a date label. Mossy yellow scales are in the median 

 space in cell and sub-median interspace, and along the line of the s.t. line, 

 beyond it. 



Anarta flanda nov. sp. 



Head and thorax gray to blackish, mixed with black scales; collar gray-tipped; 

 patagia with black sub-marginal line, disk posteriorly black-spotted. Abdomen 

 smoky, with a yellowish tinge in the male. Primaries gray marked with black, and 

 sometimes so much black-powdered that only the lines and terminal space are of the 

 gray base. Basal line geminate, black, included space gray, with two distinct out- 

 ward angulations in its short course. T.a. line geminate, black, included space 

 gray, outwardly oblique and very irregular. T.p. line lunulate, black, denticulate 

 on the veins, the accompanying gray shade narrow, moderately outcurved over the 

 cell, and then almost parallel with outer margin. S.t. line irregularly and variably 

 dentate, sharply defined by the contrast between the black or blackish s.t. space 

 and the gray terminal area. A series of small black terminal lunules between which 

 the long dark fringes are cut with yellowish. In lighter examples a distinct median 

 shade line extends from costa outwardly between the ordinary spots, and then, from 

 an obtuse angle, inwardly oblique to the inner margin. Orbicular round or oval,
