 at the extremities of the veins. Hind wings pale at base, with the veins soiled 

 with fuscous and with broad blackish borders narrowing inferiorly and cen- 

 trally interrupted with pale, as is usual in the genus. Beneath very pale yellow 

 gray, with distinct black discal marks and an outer curved transverse line, dis-

Ilab. Texas (Belfrage, No. 95). 



Appears to belong to the group with peltujcra, dipsacea, etc.; the

Cloopliaiia occata, n. sp. 



9.— The eyes are naked. The frontal vestiture converges from the sides but 

 conceals no clypeal protuberance. Tibise unarmed but the fore tibiae have a 

 blunt and short claw on the inside and a very short process outwardly. Collar 

 pointed medially. Abdomen untufted. Collar above black, below gray-brown, 

 tipped with pale gray-brown. Thorax pale gray-brown. Anterior wings gray- 

 brown. Basal half-line indicated. Median lines obsoletely geminate, very 

 approximate below the median vein. Median shade black, very diffuse, almost 

 entirely filling the median space below the vein and bringing into relief the 

 small concolorousclaviform. Ordinary spots concolorous, small, subequal. Sub- 

 terminal line consisting of whitish streaklets and points preceded by black 

 longitudinal linear marks of unequal length and distinctness. Subterminal 

 space shaded with whitish gray especially below vein. Fringes ciieckered 

 black and brown. Hind wings whitish at base with soiled veins and rather

 geminate, outwardly oblique to submedian fold below which it forms an inward 

 angulation on vein 1. Orbicular obsolete. Median shade distinct, brown, out- 

 wardly oblique to median vein where it approximates to the reniform and forms 

 a slight rounded outward angulation thence still outwardly oblique to internal 

 margin. Reniform yellowish, somewhat medially constricted, distinctly out- 

 lined, with an inferior blackish stain. T, p. line geminate, sinuate, well re- 

 moved outwardly, the component lines equally distinct. Subterminal line pale, 

 subobsolete, indicated at costa by two distinct deep black triangulate marks,
