form of <a ])ale sliade of p:rouii<l color. All around and between the 

 ordinary spots darker. A paler shade throuj^h siibiiicdian interspace, 

 not reaching the anal angle. Secondaries of the male white, veins 

 dusky, powdered ; fennde dnsky, paler bassally, veins still darker. Be- 

 neath white, i)owdery, disc of i)rimaries, and in 9 of secondaries also, 

 darker.

llAHiTAT. — New Mexico. 



Several specimens collected by Mr. Meeske are in the collections of 

 Messrs. Ilulst and Xonmo^gon. The species is a close ally of quadri- 

 denta Grt., and I should not be greatly surprised if it eventually proved 

 a local variety of that species. The most striking character is the pe- 

 culiarly bright reddish yellow ground color, contrasted by the blue- 

 gray costal region and thoracic marking. The orbicular is oblique in- 

 stea<l of round in all the specimens before me, and altogetlier the form 

 is difl'orentfrom anything I have seen before, although many s]>ecimens 

 of ijuadridentata have passed through my hands. 



Carneades teleboa sp. iiov. 



Head, thorax, and primaries a faintly reddish, very pale luteous. 

 Head and thorax iinma(Mdate. Primaries with basal and t. a. lines 

 wanting. T. p. line very faintly distinguishable as a narrow line 

 slightly darker than the ground color, a little emphasized on the veins. 

 S. t. line vague, indefinite, irregular, concolorous, faintly traceable 

 through the powdering of black scales that slightly darkens the outer 

 part of the wing. A broad diffuse shade of black powderings crosses 

 the wing a little beyond the middle. Orbicular obsolete. Keniform 

 indefinite black powdered, forming a prominent feature at the outer 

 margin of the powdery median shade. Secondaries pure white, immac- 

 ulate, lieneath white; primaries with a slight reddish tinge, the 

 black reniform spot marked ; secondaries immaculate. 



Expands 28"""; 1.12 inches. 



IlAuiTAT. — Las Vegas, New Mexico. 



A single female specimen from Mr. Neumoegeu, collected by Mr. 

 Meeske. The species is allied to ^crf^/Zs in ground color and habitus 

 but difters obviously by the obsolete transverse maculation and the 

 broad, ditfuse, i)owdery median shade. The tarsi are annulate with 

 black. 



Carneades lineifrons sp. iiov. 



A very pale whitish luteous. Head with a transverse dark line, 

 thorax inunaculate. Basal line geminate, the marginal lines inter- 

 rupted, blackish, included space concolorous. T. a. line geminate, 

 outwardly oblique, slightly irregular, the margiinil lines widely sepa- 

 rated, not interrupted ; in(;liuled s])ace concolorous. T. p. line geminate, 

 inner line crenulate distinct, evenly outcurved; outer line punctiform, 

 represented by a row of venular dots. S. t. line concolorous, feebly
