86 JOHN B. SMITH, 



The difference in size between the sexes is quite marked; but may 

 not be constant with larger material. So the female is more sordid, 

 much less distinctly maculate than the male. 



In general type of maculation the species resembles antipoda 

 Strecker, which is, however, a much paler species throughout, a 

 whitish, creamy gray replacing the dark bluish ash-gray of the new 

 form. 



Alaria Telicitata n. sp. (PI. vi, 6g. 1) — Ground color rosy red and oliva- 

 ceous luteous. Front of the head lighter yellowish, vertex red. Collar red, 

 light olivaceous tipped. Dorsum of the thorax olivaceous luteous. Abdomen 

 with whitish hair at base. Primaries at base red, this color extending along the 

 costa and internal margin, to the location of the terminal line; on the disc grad- 

 ually merging into the olive tinge, which becomes more marked gradually and 

 extends to the outer margin. The ordinary lines and spots are all obsolete. 

 Secondaries even blackish, with white fringes. Beneath, primaries blackish, 

 powdered with red along the costa. the fringes light yellow. Secondaries white, 

 with rosy powderings along the costa. Expands 25 mm. ; 1 inch. 



Hab. — Southwestern Utah, Weidt ; collection Neumoegen. 



A single female specimen only is before me at the present time ; 

 but at least one other is in the U. S. National Museum, also from 

 Utah, if I recollect aright. In type of maculation the new species 

 is a rather close ally of the Eastern A.florida; but the colors are 

 much more sordid, the secondaries are black, and the size is quite 

 obviously smaller. There can be no difficulty in the recognition of 

 this species. 



Unlike the Eastern species, the form has the front quite bulging 

 and the edge of the clypeus turned forward, though scarcely forming 

 a projecting plate. 



Oxycneinis i^ectilis n. sp. (PI. vi, fig. 3) — Ground color a very pale ashen 

 gray. Head chocolate-brown, and scales of the same color are intermixed in the 

 vestiture of the collar. Primaries with all the markings defined by scales of 

 the same chocolate- brown. T. a, line single, even, with a moderate outcurve. 

 T. p. line single, even, with a broad outward angulation over the reniform, and 

 a distinct incurve below. S. t. line marked only by a dusky s. t. shade, which 

 is more distinct near the costa. A distinct, interrupted, terminal line. Clavi- 

 form large, outlined in brown, included space more whitish. Ordinary spots 

 large, brown ringed, whitish centered. Orbicular transversely oval, reniform 

 upright, broad, scarcely constricted in the middle. A somewhat vague median 

 shade darkens the outer portion of the median space. Secondaries white, im- 

 maculate. Beneath, primaries whitish, powdery, secondaries white. Expands 

 21 mm. ; .84 inches.
