Eriopyga anten7iata, sp. nov. 



Antennae of $ very strongly bipectinate ; of 9 slightly ciliate ; head 

 and thorax clothed with a mixture of gray and red-brown hair and scales ; 

 primaries deep brown or purple-brown, the distinctness of the maculation 

 variable ; basal line slightly marked on costa ; t. a. line geminate, black, 

 filled with a pale shade of the ground colour, inner line indistinct, slightly 

 outwardly oblique, with an outcurve in submedian fold and another below 

 vein I ; orbicular when present small, round, outlined in dark, filled with 

 ground colour; reniform indistinctly outlined, outer portion filled with 

 yellow above, which is a single white dot and below it two, remainder 

 filled with ground colour ; no trace of claviform ; t. p. line indistinct, 

 geminate, the outer line being reduced to a series of venular dots, well 

 exserted around cell and slightly incurved in submedian fold ; median 

 shade very faint ; sublerminal space slightly paler than rest of wings ; s. t. 

 line pale yellow, rather broken, defined by a dark preceding shade, angled 

 outwardly below apex ot wing, incurved slightly opposite cell and in sub- 

 median fold ; a very faint black broken terminal line and an ochreous line 

 at base of the dark fringes. Secondaries whitish, hyaline, strongly suffused 

 with smoky in all but the basal portion ; with small discal dot. Beneath, 

 primaries smoky, sprinkled outwardly with ochreous, with small discal dot 

 and traces of a postmedian line on costa ; secondaries whitish, sprinkled 

 along costa and outer margin with ochreous, a small discal dot and broken 

 postmedian line ; a faint broken dark terminal line to both wings. 

 Expanse, ^^ 25 mm.; 9 28 mm. 



Habitat : Redington, Ariz., 4 (^ s, 3 9 . Types, collection Barnes. 



A variable species. The markings of the reniform lend to obsol- 

 escence, and only to well marked specimens is the above description 

 applicable ; sometimes the white dots are absent, in other specimens the 

 yellow patch is greatly reduced as well, but a careful examination will 

 usually show sufficient of the typical maculation to avoid confusion with 

 other species. The male antennse are more strongly pectinate than in 

 other species we have seen. 



Eriopyga gigafitoides^ sp. nov. 



9 . — Palpi outwardly black-brown, a few ochreous hairs at tip of 

 second joint ;■ front with a strong tuft of dark-brown hairs sprinkled with 

 ochreous ones ; tegulge and thorax rather lighter brown ; primaries 

 purplish-brown, rather shiny, the basal portion of wing to t. a. line some- 

 times shaded considerably with blackish ; in such specimens the basal 

 line is not visible; in lighter forms it may be distinguished as a geminate
