56 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



This very striking form we received, along with a number of ordinary 

 toiisa, from Mr. T. Spalding. As it agrees exactly in the course of the 

 lines and general maculation with these specimens, we prefer to regard it 

 for the present as an aberration, although it may prove to be a good 

 species. 



Athetis (Caradrina) mona, ?p. nov. 



Palpi outwardly black, 3rd joint pale ochreous j head and thorax 

 gray, latter slightly paler ; primaries very even dark gray-brown, with a 

 sprinkling of black scales; t. a. line fine, black, slightly broken, originating 

 from a black spot on costa ; wavy and somewhat outwardly inclined ; 

 orbicular a small dark spot ; reniform large, concave towards apex of 

 wing, the concavity outlined in yellow, basal half outlined with white dots, 

 4-5 in number, central portion very slightly darker than rest of wing ; on 

 costa above reniform a dark spot ; a faint dark median shade ; t. p. line 

 faint, crenulate, evenly sinuate : s. t. line barely visible, pale ochreous, 

 irregular ; terminal area slightly darker than remainder of wing; indistinct 

 dark broken terminal line bordered outwardly with paler. Secondaries 

 white, with broad outward dusky suffusion and dark terminal line , fringes 

 pale, cut by a dark line near base. Beneath primaries wholly smoky, 

 with faint discal dot and traces of postmedian line ; secondaries white, 

 sprinkled with brown along costa and outer margin, with distinct discal 

 dot. Expanse, 22 mm. 



Habitat : Witch Creek, San Diego Co., Calif., i Ç . Type, collection 

 Barnes. 



A species resembling certain forms of the European selini rather than 

 any American species known to us ; multifera Wlk. is probably its closest 

 ally. 



Papaipeuia errans, sp. nov. 



Head and thorax purplish-brown, sprinkled slightly with white ; 

 tegul?e tipped with white ; primaries purple-brown, sprinkled with white 

 and suffused with goldfn-yellow, which is particularly prominent along 

 inner margin to t. p. line and in terminal space ; all maculation dull and 

 indistinct ; t. a. line only distinguishable as a fine dark line crossing the 

 yellowish area near inner margin ; above this two oval dark shades 

 represent claviform and orbicular ; a dark median shade with prominent 

 outward angle on cubital vein, inwardly oblique from below reniform to 

 near t. a. line; t. p. line fine, rigid, inclined slightly outward from reniform 

 to inner margin, separating gradually from median shade, and approaching
