cous ochreous; base dark brown, and a central broad band of tlie same color. 

 Tbe central band evenly rounded witbin, and tbe basal j)ortiou rounded vvitbout. 

 the ground color between having its sides sub])arallel and nearly as wide at costa 

 as at inner margin ; outer edge of central band somewhat sinuous wavy, the band 

 itself being nearly as broad at inner margin as at costa. an outer scalloped line 

 brown, the teeth inward; faint indications of submarginal wavy lines; hind 

 wings same color as fore wings with tbe wing to middle considerably darker; 

 faint indications of outer wavy lines; discal spots black, distinct on all wings, 

 somewhat elongate on fore wings; underneath fuscous, the inner half of all 

 wings darker; discal spots as above. 



Alaska. 



X. ueinorella n. sp — Expands 31 33 mm. Head, thorax and abdomen 

 dark fuscous ochreous. Wings smoky ochreous, with a band of chocolate-brown 

 on fore wings near middle. This band is evenly rounded within, sinuous without, 

 three to four times broader at costa. than at inner margin ; faint indications of 

 submarginal wavy shades; hind wings without band, but with faint wavy shad- 

 ings; discal spots wanting on hind wings, and scarcely or not at all evident on 

 fore wings; veins on fore wings brokenly lined with black; beneath as above, 

 with a strong reddish shading, the central liand fiiintly showing on fore wings, 

 and a faint dentated central line on hind wings. 



California ; Alaska ; Aleutian Islands. Very much like the pre- 

 ceding species, but with fore wings more pointed and subfalcate, 

 larger, and with a differently shaped central band. 



\. illocata n. sp. — Expands 30-32 mm. Head fuscous; thorax and abdo- 

 men fuscous cinereous; fore wings jjointed, somewhat falcate, light cinereous, 

 with a smoky washing ; fore wings without band, in some specimens without in- 

 dications of one, in others with outer lines of a central band present, black, wavy 

 on both sides, more separate at costa than at inner margin: hind wings unicol- 

 orous, discal spots faint or absent on all wings; beneath color as ground color 

 above without markings. 



Alaska ; Oregon. This is closely allied with the two preceding. 

 jNIy material is not v'ery large, and it is possible that with more ma- 

 terial they may be found to intergrade. X. nemorella has superfi- 

 cially very much the same appearaiK^e as Zeiiophlcps lupdcolorata 

 Pack., though the band of the fore wings is much more distinct. 



X. V4»liicer n. sp. — Expands 30-34 mm. Palpi ocher fuscous or blackish ; 

 front and thorax ocher fuscous, or fuscous gray. Abdomen ochreous ; fore wings 

 mouse-gray to ocher gray, darker narrowly along costa, unicolorous, except a 

 broad outer lightening of color beginning at costa extending backward to vein 5, 

 then making almost a right angle inward, gradually fading from costa and be- 

 coming lost beyond the angle : bind wings color of fore wings, or a shade lighter, 

 unicolorous, or with a faint dentate black line running from middle of inner 

 margin subparallel with outer margin and on submarginal space; beneath much 

 as above on fore wings, but the marginal field darker; costal edge at base jet 

 black, and an indication of a black line at costa within outer band, which is
