veins. Beneath lighter ash-color with discal dots reproduced in both 

 pairs of wings. 



Expanse of wings one inch. Length of body 0.35 ; of fore-wings 0.45. 



This fine species is described from one male captured in So. Abing- 

 ton, Mass., and is the only example that I have yet been able to find in 

 ten years collecting. 



It seems to be more nearly allied to R. ruficiilata, Pack., than to any 

 other species, yet is very different in size and markings. 



Semiothisa sex-punctata,* sp. nov. 



This species may perhaps be best described by a comparison with S. 

 granitata, to which it seems closely aUied, yet quite distinct. Antennae 

 simple. General color similar to many examples of S. granitata. Fore 

 wings not excavated. The distinctive marks are four well defined, dark 

 brown spots on the discal margin of the fore wings, which form the 

 terminus of four pale ash-colored -Hnes, while the extra discal line is rather 

 broad, and contains two oblong parallel dark brown spots just above the 

 middle of the wing. Discal dots barely apparent on both sides, but more 

 distinct on hind wings. Beneath quite ochreous, but no more so than 

 some varieties of 6'. granitata. 



Expanse of wings 1.23 inches. Length of body ? (abdomen 



wanting). 



Described from one female captured in Elko, Nev,, at an elevation of 

 about 10,000 feet. 



Phasiane cinereata, sp. nov. 



Antennae simple. Head, thorax and abdomen glaucous. 



General color of wings above ash-gray ; beneath approaching 

 ochreous. A narrow brown line crosses the fore wings on the inner third, 

 becoming nearly obsolete on the costa. The oblong discal ringlet 

 centered with white. A faint brown line runs from the middle of the 

 inner margin to the discal ringlet, but is very faint in this vicmity. An 

 extra-discal narrow brown line crosses the wing, becoming obsolete on 

 outer margin of hind wing, but reappearing near the middle and continu- 



* Since writing the above, I have found a female example of S. sex-punctata that I 

 had overlooked. The only difference from the one described is that the two small 

 parallel brown spots in the centre of the extra-discal shading are in this example united 

 into one spot.
