12d THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



somewhat lighter. Beneath primaries uniform pale glossy brown ; second- 

 aries whitish, shaded with brown along outer margin. Expanse, 31 mm. 



Habitat : Palmerlee, Ariz., i S • Type, collection Barnes. 



Bears considerable resemblance to Catacloihis frondaria Grt., but 

 the pale immaculate area is much larger and the venation totally different. 

 This pale area is due to the fact that when at rest the wings are so folded 

 that only the costal half of wing is visible, the insect then having much 

 the appearance of a Phycitid. 



Diastictis ( Cymataphora) pallipennata, sp. no v. 



$. — Palpi, head, thorax, and abdomen white; ground colour of 

 primaries white, marbled with gray, which shade is predominant beyond the 

 t. p. line ; t. a. line single, rather broad, especially at costa, dark gray, 

 angled outwardly below costa and with slight inward angle on submedian 

 fold ; median space more or less shaded with gray ; a small oval gray 

 mark at end of cell, slightly filled with white ; t. p. line dark gray-brown, 

 curved outward from costa, inward opposite cell and with a rather sharp 

 outward angle in submedian fold, in general parallel to t. a. line ; sub- 

 terminal and terminal spaces almost entirely olive-gray with the exception 

 of a white costal patch ; through this area a broad white subterminal line 

 runs, rather. irregular in course, angled slightly outwardly below apex, the 

 angle preceded by a short dark dash in subterminal space, another slight 

 angle or outcurve between veins 3 and 4, termination at inner angle ; 

 fringes white, checkered with dark gray. Secondaries white, heavily 

 mottled with dark gray, leaving only traces of the ground colour visible ; 

 a faint discal dot and rather heavy dark postmedian line, parallel to outer 

 margin, with slight outcurve before inner margin ; terminal area somewhat 

 darker ; fringes white, faintly checkered with gray. Beneath white, 

 heavily sprinkled with gray ; primaries with discal dot and straight post- 

 median line ; secondaries with dark postmedian and subterminal lines and 

 discal dot. 



Male paler than $ ; the subterminal and terminal spaces white with but 

 little dark gray shading ; subterminal line wanting; from costa near apex 

 a dark dash inward to vein 7, semiparallel to t. p. line. Antennae 

 bipectinate, posterior tibice swollen but without hair pencil. Expanse, 

 19-22 mm. 



Habitat: Redington, Ariz., i cj , 4 ? s. Types, collection Barnes. 



The species has considerable resemblance with Macaria s-sigfiata 

 in general type of maculation. The extent of the dark olive-gray shading
