A number of these species run very closely together, and some 

 modification of specific standing may have to be made as more mate- 

 rial is obtained for comparison. 



S. luaciilif'HNCia n. sp. — Expands 26-28 mm. Very close to S. siiblacteolata 

 Hulst, of which it is quite likely a variety. The markings are the sjime, the 

 outer line of dots arranged in the same manner, but it differs very decidedly in 

 the general color of the wings, the neatly pure white of S\ suhlacteolata being re- 

 placed by dark fuscous. 



I have specimens of »S'. .^Hb/acteofata from Ohio and Texas which 

 agree. All my specimens of *S'. maculiftuicia are from South Dacotah 

 and also ai^ree with one another.
