NORTH AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 49 



The species might be listed next aftei* segregata, than which it has 

 also somewhat more stumpy primaries. 



CariieiKlcs Candida v.. sp. (PI. iii, fig. 4)— Ground color a soft mouse- 

 gray over luteous. Head inferiorly paler or liiteous, superiorly gray. Collar 

 somewhat mottled gray and luteous, with a blackish central line and a luteous 

 tip. Disc of thorax and patagise gray, the margins of the latter and the tips of 

 the tuftings formed of luteous scales. Abdomen white, with a very faint yel- 

 lowish tinge. Primaries with all the niaculation indistinct and interrupted, the 

 ground color somewhat mottled. In the basal sjtace the luteous tinge predomi- 

 nates; in the median space the mouse-gray obtains, but there is a luteous shade 

 through the submedian interspace, lightening the claviform, and another through 

 the cell, including the ordinary spots; the narrow s. t. space is powdery luteous, 

 and the terminal space is evenly gray. Basal line geminate, blackish, not at all 

 prominent. T. a. line geminate, marked by blackish costal spots, thence more 

 gray, almost upright, somewhat outcurved in the interspaces. T. p. line gemi- 

 nate, marked by black spots on the costa, thence interrupted, the outer line even, 

 little defined, the inner better marked, Innulate, as a whole with a very even 

 outcurve from costa to the cell and thence oblique to the margin. S. t. line ir- 

 regular, marked chiefly by the contrast between the s. t. and terminal spaces. A 

 series of small blackish, terminal lunules. A yellowish line at the base of fringes. 

 Claviform moderate, outlined by black scales, filled with luteous. Ordinary spots 

 small, orbicular round, reuiform somewhat oblique, both indefinitely outlined, 

 but made more definite by the filling of luteous scales. Secondaries pure, snow 

 white, the veins slightly yellow tinted. Beneath, primaries powdery white, 

 the black atoms more numerous outwardly, forming a vague discal spot, a more 

 definite outer line and a series of terminal lunules ; secondaries white. Expands 

 33 mm. ; 1.30 inches.

Mr. Schoenborn has both sexes, taken by Mr. Titus Ulke. The 

 species belongs to the pitychroits series, and is an ally of vicerens, from 

 which it differs in the even mouse-gray color, mottled by luteous 

 scales, and in the pure white secondaries of both sexes. Species in 

 this series are closely allied; but I believe that the present is entitled 

 to rank as such without doubt. 



Cariieiides initiw n. sp. (PI. iii, fig. 10)— (Jround color reddish luteous, 

 powdered with black. Head and thorax concolorous, immaculate. Primaries 

 with all the niaculation vague, indistinct. Basal line single, blackish, very near 

 to the root of the wing. T. a. line geminate, slightly oblique, outcurved between 

 the veins, inner line indefinite, of the ground color; outer line blackish, fairly 

 distinct. T. p. line rather evenly crenulated, simple, blackish, only fairly evi- 

 dent, followed by a slightly paler shade. S. t. line a little paler, somewhat de- 

 fined by a vague blackish preceding shade, a very little irregular. A series of 

 small terminal dots, and a pale line at the base of the fringes. There is a very 

 vague median shade Hue, which in the male darkens the cell between the ordi- 

 nary spots, but is with diflBculty traceable in the female. The claviform is 

 wanting, and the ordinary spots are so indefinite as to be practically indescriba-
