small, black margiiied. else concolorous. Orbicular moderate in size, round, 

 black ringed, wilh a small central black dot, else concolorous. Reniform rather 

 large, upright, inferiorly dilated, not well defined, obscured by the median shade, 

 and by a small brownish cer.tral blotch. Secondaries white, with an outer line 

 of black venular dots, and a smoky terminal line which does not extend to the 

 anal angle. Beneath white, black powdered, more evidently so on costal margin 

 and in apical region of all wings. All wings with a discal spot, a punctiform 

 outer line, and a series of terminal dots, black. Primaries with the outer half 

 of the wings smoky. Expands 38 mm. ; 1.52 inches. 



Hah. — Vancouver. 



A single perfect male, from Mr. Neumoegen's collection. The 

 species has serrate male antennoe and narrow, subeqnal primaries, 

 and is therefore a close ally of dolosa, than which it is larger, quite 

 different in the predominating gray shade, and with the niaculation 

 much more distinct. The secondaries also are ])ure white in the 

 new species. In fact, while black is the predominating shade in 

 dolosa, the markings ])icked out in white, the exact reverse is the 

 case in Candida. There should be no difficulty in recognizing the 

 species. 



Xyloiniges indui*a.ta n. sp. (PI. iv, fig. 7)— Ground color ashen gray; 

 varying from rather light whitish to a deep bluish or blackish tint. Head and 

 thorax concolorous, the collar with a vague, almost obsolete median transverse 

 line, below which there is in some of the specimens a faint rufous tinge. Pa- 

 tagife indistinctly subraargined in black. Primaries with the veins black marked 

 The median lines are obsolete. S. t. line interrupted, the spots lunate, somewhat 

 pale reddish, preceded by deep brown shadings. Claviform moderate, concolor- 

 ous, rather faintly outlined by blackish scales. Orbicular oval, decumbent, out- 

 lined by a gray or reddish annulus, sometimes scarcely traceable. Reuiform 

 large, indefinitely outlined by pale or reddish scales, centrally constricted and 

 inferiorly dilated; a vague, indefinite, and more or less obvious reddish brown 

 shade usually lightens up the reniform centrally and extends outwardly a little 

 distance. Secondaries white, more or less irrorate with black scales, usually 

 darkening the veins and forming a series of terminal lunules; a distinct discal 

 lunule. Beneath whitish gray, varying to bluish gray, powdery; secondaries 

 paler, a common broken outer line and a discal spot on all wings. Expands 35- 

 40 mm. ; 1.45-1. GO inches. 



jya6.— Colorado, Bruce, Nos. 523, 528, 542. 



I have seen two males and two females, of which three from Mr. 

 Bruce are before me. The antennae are serrated and bristled, the 

 primaries narrow and pointed, and the species is hence allied to 

 curialis and dolosa, most iiearly to the former. In cnrialis the trans- 

 verse lines are all traceable, usually distinct, and the secondaries are 

 pure white in the male ; in the new form the markings are almost 

 entirely ol)solete, the s. t. only being at all distinct, and the seconda- 

 ries are of a dirty white, powdered with coarse black speckles.
