Kchiilia eonc*iiiiia u. sp. — Head, thorax and ground color of luiniaries a 
rather deep luteons, with an olivaceous tint. Primaries maculate with a rather 
deep, almost chocolate-brown. Basal space brown, deepest at the t. a. line, and 
merging into the ground color at the extreme base. T. a. line white, prominent, 
outwardly oblique in two curves to median vein, then inwardly oblique in two 
further curves to hind mai-gin. T. p. line white, rather strongly and quite 
evenly bisinuate, well marked, excejit over the cell, where it is interru]>ted and 
imnctiform; outwardly it is marked with black scales. S. t. space darkest at 
1. p. line, lightening somewhat to s. t. line, which is very irregular and marked 
only by the contrast between the dark s. t. space and the terminal space, which 
is of the ground color. Fringes of ground color with a series of darker terminal 
dots. Orbicular wanting ; reniform large, dark, somewhat indefinite, obscured 
by a dusky shade, which crosses the median space and merges into the ground 
color at either margin. Secondaries obscurely tawny at base, becoming black at 
outer margin. Fringes pale luteons, almost dirty white. Beneath tawny, prima- 
ries with disc black, sending up an ante-apical si>ot of same color ; a black discal 
spot. Secondaries with a large discal spot and a deejier, brownish black outer 
margin. Expands .9(1 inch. ; 24 mm. 
Hdb . — Southern Texas. 
This s])ecies has two inner and three outer claws to the fore-tibia 
and is most nearl}^ related to brevis Grt. The contrasting white 
lines, the olivaceous luteons ground color and the course of the lines 
are difierent ; brevis seems not to have the broad median shade. A 
single specimen from Mr. Neumoegen. 
Scliiiiia digitalis n. sp. — Hesd, thorax and primaries a itowdery luteons 
gray. Primaries with basal and s. t. space darker, with an admixture of blackish 
scales; median lines narrow, pale. T. a. line evenly oulcurved, the curve greatest 
in the cell. T. p. line very narrow, and but very little sinuate, almost rigidly 
oblique. S. t. line marked by the diflereuce in shade between s. t. and terminal 
space, strictly parallel with the outer margin. Fringes dusky. Secondaries a 
pale yellowish gray with a more blacki.sh outer margin and very faint discal 
blotch Beneath, primaries dirty gray, with a faint reproduction of the outer 
lines of upper side, and a dusky discal spot; secondaries much as above. Ex- 
pands 1.20 inch. ; 30 mm. 
Hab. — Dallas, Texas. 
This species has heavy inner and four heavy outer claws to the 
anterior tibia, and is therefore related to thoreaui and rivulosa, from 
which it differs radically in the coloration. It is the only species 
with the heavy armature which has this luteons gray, almost greenish 
tinge. It hears a deceptive resemblance to gracilenta, and the mark- 
ings, indeed, are almost exactly like it. 
A single specimen only at hand, hut I feel (juite certain that it is 
in other collections as a faded gracilenta.
