NORTH AMERICAN LEPIDOrTERA. 51 



Carnoados aiKloiifis n. sp. (PI. iii, fig. 9)— Ground color pale whitish 

 luteous, with scattered black powderings. Head dusky in front, with a hlackish 

 transverse line. CJollar more evidently black powdered inferiorlj-. Thorax con- 

 colorous. Primaries black powdered along the costa, spreading out beyond the 

 t. p. line to the apex, the entire terminal space and a shade preceding the s. t. 

 line also bla(;kish. Basal line geminate, black, distinct. T. a. line geminate, the 

 inner line marked by a few black scales only, the outer line distinct, black, 

 nearly upright, outwardly bent in the submedian and internal interspaces. In 

 the female the basal space has quite a distinct black powdering which is wanting 

 in the male. T. p. line geminate over the costal region only, below which it is 

 single, narrow and creuulated, black. A distinct broad median shade line, ob- 

 lique from the costa to below the cell, thence near to and parallel with the t. p. 

 line. S. t. line of the ground color, rather broad, and evenly sinuate, relieved 

 by the contrasting dark terminal space, and a narrow black preceding shade. A 

 series of small blackish terminal luuules. Claviform obsolete. Orbicular obso- 

 lete. Eeniform small, lunate, black. Secondaries whitish, with a small, more 

 or less obvious discal lunule, an extramedian dusky line and a broad dusky mar- 

 ginal band; fringes white. Beneath white, in the male both wings with an in- 

 complete outer line and discal spot, in the female the secondaries immaculate, 

 the primaries with the disc dusky. Expands 34.5 mm. ; 1.38 inches.

This species is at a glance referable to the messoria group of the 

 genus, and as readily to the first series of the same, in which the 

 vestiture is hairy only. It differs obviously from the four described 

 species which have the secondaries dusky in both sexes, by the very 

 pale whitish luteous ground color ; and more markedly frojii all its 

 allies here, in the transverse line of the secondaries within the outer 

 marginal band ; a character that no other species in this series is 

 possessed of, to my knowledge. There should not be anv difficultv 

 in recognizing io well marked a species. 



€arnca<lcs titubatis n. sp. (PI. iv. fig. 5)— Ground color a very dark 

 red-brown, with a somewhat smoky cast, most evident on the primaries. Head 

 and thorax immaculate, the collar with a slight ferruginous tint. Primaries with 

 the maculation somewhat obscure, yet all traceable. Basal line geminate, the 

 defining lines scarcely darker than the ground color, the included space slightly 

 paler. T. a. line almost upright to the internal vein, thence with a rather long 

 outcurve to the inner margin : obsoletely geminate, only the outer defining line 

 distinct, and that but little darker than the ground color. T. p. line very even 

 outcurved over the costa, then regularly oblique, more even than the outer mar- 

 gin, with small crenulations on the veins; the line is geminate, the inner de- 

 fining line distinct, dark brown ; the outer blackish, but marked only through 

 the costal region ; the included space somewhat paler than the ground color. 

 The s. t. line is very faint, in fact hardly traceable, marked as a rivulous paler 

 shading through the dark outer portion of the wing. A pale line at the base of 

 the fringes. The claviform is moderate in size, outlined with brown scales, else 

 concolorous. Orbicular large, irregularly oblique, outlined with brown and
