Beyond the wliite-slinded transverse posterior line the wing in again pale as it 

 is sub-basally, with the s. t. line ill defined, but is remarkable for a broad black 

 dash which accompanies vein 2. Ilind wings white, a little stained apically 

 with testaceous, without marks, remarkable for faintly repeating the black 

 dash on the primaries at the same place — vein 3. On the pale under-surface a 

 common line is feebly indicated, while the secondaries show a discal dot. 



Expanse, 26 m. m. Habitat, California (coll. Mr. Ily. Edwards, 

 No. 17G). Three 5 specimens examined. The female may have an 

 extruded oviduct, and then we should refer the species to Dian- 

 thoecia. The pale color of the species is noticeable, reminding us 

 somewhat of capsularis, from Avhich it is very distinct. 



Oncocnemis Glenn yi, Grote, Plate 4, fig. 17, $, . 



t . — Eyes naked, with lashes. Caputal and thoracic vestiture coarsely hairy, 

 mixed with flattened scales. Fore tibiae with a stout terminal claw. Antennae 

 subsimple, pubescent. Ornamentation distinct. Fore wings uniform dusty ashen, 

 very slightly silky. Transverse anterior line perpendicular, blackish, narrowly 

 toothed below costa, acutely lunulate on submedian space and again below 

 vein 1. Ordinary spots larger than usual. Orbicular nearly spherical, decum- 

 bent ovate, concolorous, with a faint nucleus, edged by a blackish shade more 

 distinct on the cell before and behind the spot. Reniform quite large, erect, 

 not constricted, like the orbicular in appearance. Median shade apparent, 

 approximate to t. p. line below the reniform. T. p. line geminate, the outer 

 line obliterate, inner distinct, blackish, inwardly lunulate, marked on costa 

 above the reniform, of the usual general shape. Subterminal line continued, 

 of the usual appearance, pale, preceded by blackish cuneiform shades. Termi- 

 nal line blackish, formed by narrow subcontinuous interspaceal lunules ; 

 fringes long, slightly silky, concolorous. Hind wings dusty fuscous, with a 

 tolerably well expressed wide blackish terminal border ; fringes pale, with an 

 internal darker shade line. Beneath paler, with discal points and an extra 

 mesial common line, discontinued inferiorly on primaries and accentuated on 

 the veins of the hind wings. Thorax and head above concolorous with 

 primaries. 



Expanse, 38 m. m. Habitat, Colorado Territory, July 20th (coll. 

 Theo. L. Mead, No. 3G). 



In the appearance of the i)rimaries this species approaches 0. 

 Hayesi ; the hind wings are more like 0. Chandleri and the Euro- 

 pean species. The large size of the ordinary spots and the more 

 usual ornamentation distinguish it. 



- I name this species after Mr. Wm. H. Glenny, Jr., Secretary, in 

 acknowledgment of liis kind interest in the welfare of this iSocietv.
