costa, but very vaguely below, becoming in one case scarcely traceable, in the 
other fairly detined by a dusky preceding shade. A series of blackish terminal 
lunules. Claviform small, imperfectl.v outlined, concolorous. Orl)icular want- 
ing, or but faintly indicated, then oval, rather small. Reniform large, upright, 
kidney-shaped, laterally only defined, with a central fuscous lunule, which 
expands somewhat inferiorly. A vague median shade through the outer part of 
median sjiace. Secondaries in the male white, veins fuscous marked ; a narrow 
dusky outer margin ; a distinct discal lunule. Secondaries in the female dusky, 
smoky brown, somewhat paler basally, fringes white. Beneath white, powdery, 
with a variably distinct crenulate outer line and discal spot. Expands 1.40 in- 
ches; 35 mm. 
Hab. — Denver, Col. (Bruce). 
Male ami female are before me, the former from the coll. U. S. 
Nat. Museum (two specimens), the latter from Mr. Neumoegen. The 
frontal jirotuberance is quite prominent, the armature of the fore 
tarsi much as in decepta rather than edwardsil. The male genitalia 
are similar to those of the other species, and best described by a 
reference to figure 5 on PI. II, with which should be compared also 
PI. XXII, figs. 18 and 19, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. vol. xii. 
Triclioclea aiitica n. sp. 
Every word of the description of postica will apply as well to this 
species, save that the secondaries of the male are less soiled, more 
purely white, and in the female the .secondaries ax'e like those of the 
male postica; otherwise the maculation is the same, and I should 
have considered the specimens identical, but for the fact that the 
frontal protuberance is much smaller, less prominent, the tarsal ar- 
mature weaker even than in edwardsii, and finally the male struc- 
tures differ quite strongly, first in absolute size, those of the ])resent 
species being fully one-third larger from the same sized male and 
also in the arrangement of the corneous claspers, which differs from 
all of the other species, and is figured on PI. II, fig. 4. Expanse 
as in postica. 
Hab . — Los Angeles County, Cal., April 10th ; good specimens are 
in the National Museum collection (through C. V. Riley). 
Tteniocaiiipa orobia Haw. 
This insect I could not find in the INIeske collection, from which 
it was described, when I wrote my Revision (Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. 
xii, 455-496, 1889). The completed incorporation of the collection 
into the regular museum series has bi’ought to light the typical Texas 
specimen, and it turns out to be exactly like specimens of oviduca,
