shining ochreous fuscous, browner on upper side of first three seg- 

 ments; legs white, anterior pair heavily dusted with brown in front. 



The fore wing is almost unicolorous, a light ochreous gray or 

 mouse color, with an ochreous tinge. It is somewhat darker on upper 

 thi_'d and inner half; the entire inner two-thirds are more ochreous 

 than the outer third, which is an ashy gray, but these shades merge 

 into each other so gradually, and are really so nearly alike, that the 

 wing presents almost a single tone. The inner and subterminal lines 

 are slightly paler, but very faint, the subterminal, from outer sixth 

 of costa, is convex to below middle, then an outward convexity on 

 lower third of wing. There is a faint, darker, broken line before the 

 cilia, which are only slightly shining of a pale leaden hue. 



Hind wing dark smoky gray, cilia shining; underside paler. 

 Underside fore wing smoky gray, cilia whitish at base. 



Type. — In Author's collection. From Denver, Colorado, May 2. 

 1004, E. J. Oslar ; eight paratypes, Essex County, New Jersey, June 11 ; 

 Georgia (from Strecker collection), Washington County, Arkansas, 

 July-August, A. J. Brown. The specimens labeled " paratype " are 

 included with some hesitation, and may prove to be a different species. 



This is closest to var. ula Cockerell, differing from it in the absence 

 of the strong reddish and purple shades. 



Genus EUFERNALDIA Hulst. 



Eufernaldia argenteonervella IIulst, Jour. N. Y. Ent. Soc, VIII, 1900, 

 p. 224. 



The type and only species was described from one female. I have 

 recently received a series of both sexes from E. J. Oslar. collected in 

 the Huachuca Mountains, 

 Arizona, August 15-20; 

 also Prescott, Arizona. Dr. 

 R. E. Kunze, July 7, and 

 Stockton, Utah, Septem- 

 ber 10, Tom Spalding. 

 From the last locality the 

 fore wings are a deep 

 ocherous brown and the 

 hind wings dark smoky 

 brown. The Arizona 

 specimens a g r e e w i t h 

 Hulst 's description, fore 

 wings light ocherous, 

 hind wings silvery white; the outlining of the veins in silver is the 

 same in both forms and makes this species easily recognized. As the 

 venation and head parts have not before been figured, I include them 

 with a few corrections or additions to the original description.
