 Type Inteolntii Ilulst. 



Palpi lon<r, somewhat droo|)in<2: or porrect, slender, rather heavily

 and 4 se[)arate, 6 and 7 sejjarate, 8 joined with cell one-half its 

 length.

 Species. — P. Inteolata Hulst, n. sp. 



1*. liiteolsita n. sp. — Expands 32 40 nun. Palpi yellow ochreous, fuscous 

 or blackish at e.xtrenie tip; antenna;, head, thorax, abdomen and wings yellow 

 ochreous, the thorax a little mixed with fuscous scales and the abdomen yellowish 

 laterally; fore wings with four yellowish brown lines arranged as in Neolexia 

 .ri/linu. and of the same general course, hut without the base, middle field or outer 

 l>art being filled in with darker color; between these bands are fainter cross-lines, 

 or faint broader shadings of narrow bands of same color with the more distinct 

 cross-lines ; hind wings more yellowish outwardly, with indications of lines 

 within anal angle scarcely evident; beneath ochreous, the outer middle line evi- 

 dent on fore wings and a marginal subajncal spot darker than the ground color; 

 hind wings with two faint middle lines crossing the wing. 



Two males, one female, (,'olorado and New Mexico. The in.soct is 

 very much of the color and general appearance of Eiistroina diversi- 

 /inedtiiiii, with the lines in the shape of those of E. populatam or E. 

 jtridKitiiin. It has probably been regarded as a form of E. dimrn- 

 liiirttid, but is very distincfas having bipectinate antennae and want- 

 ing the hair pencil on the fore wings below in the male.
