or oval, hlackisb. without defining line. Ecniforin large, upright, ohlong, hlackish, 
without distinct defining line. Secondaries smoky gray, uniform, with a fairly 
distinct yellowish line at base of fringes. Beneatli gray, primaries vaiying to 
smoky brown, secondaries ))owdery. A common, varialily complete outer line 
and a distinct large discal spot sometimes obscured on the primaries. E.xpands 
1.20 — 1.40 inch. ; 30 — 3.5 mm. 
Hub . — Alameda County, Cal., September and October. 
Four male specimens are in the museum collection (through C. V. 
Uiley) hearing the red number 339. 
This species is aberrant in color for the genus, hut in wing form 
and in pattern of ornamentation it is allied to carnea. Its luteous 
gray color, single median lines, and contrasting black ordinary spots, 
render it easily recognizable. The antennae are “ brush like,’’ l.e., 
the joints slightly produced laterally and furnished with bristly 
tufts. The thoracic vestiture forms an indefinite dorsal crest. The 
male genitalia have the harpes ohliijue at tip, forming a little pro- 
jecting tooth interiorly. The clasper is a single, stout, straight, 
pointed, corneous spur.

l*acliiiobisi elevata u. sp. — Ground color of the reddish gray usual in 
this genus. Head and thorax immaculate. Primaries with the ordinary lines 
single. Basal line interrupted, rather indefinite. T. a. line incomplete, ap- 
jiarently upright and rather even to internal vein, below which it makes an 
outcurve. T. p. line complete, even, exserted over the cell, and somewhat ir- 
regularly ohliipie below to margin. A paler, more grayish shade through the 
s. t. space, in which a series of interspaceal brown dashes indicate the s. t. line. 
.\u interrupted terminal line. Claviform a yellowish streak from base to near 
middle of median space, outlined beyond t. a. line by a narrow black line. Or- 
bicular elongate, the angles drawn out toward base and apex. Eeiiiform small, 
lunate. Both spots are a somewhat paler gray and outlined by black scales. 
Secondaries whitish, smoky toward apices. Beneath whitish, powdery, with a 
diffuse common outer line and a moderate discal spot on all wings. Expands 
1.40 inches; .35 mm. 
Hab . — Colorado (Bruce). 
A single good male from Mr. Neumoegen’s collection. The speci- 
men has the antenine serrate and bristled, and is therefore allied to 
C'lrnea, than which it has .somewhat more pointed wings and entirely 
diflerent markings. The cell is not black-filled around the ordinary 
spots, and the character of the transverse lines is entirely different. 
The genitalia consist of a broad harpe with obtusely rounded tip, 
inwardly fringed with spinules. From the centre of this arises a 
broad, excavated, corneous process, with an irregular outline, form- 
ing the clasper.
