60 AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 



Hind wing: dark bronzy-brown, with a dash of whitish at base, cilia pale fus- 

 cous. Underside of both wings dark bronzy-brown, with costal dashes faintly 

 repeated. 



Two specimens: one % and one 9) Colfax, Placer Co., Cal , 

 July, Collected by A. H. Vachell. 



This species is also similar to the eastern tristrigana, hut can be 

 separated by the difference in costal and dorsal marks. 



Eiiariuonia placeraiia sp. nov. 



Expanse, %, 12-14 mm. ; J, 14-16 mm. 



Head : fuscous-brown, paler in front; palpi pale clay-brown, tips of brush and 

 apical joint blaokish-brown ; antennge black, with a bronzy tinge; thoT-ax oliva- 

 ceous-brown, patagia tipped with white; abdomen fuscous-brown, external scales, 

 underside, white; thorax whitish-ochreous; legs cinereous-gray, powdered with 

 fuscous. 



Forewing: bronzy-brown, shaded with leaden gray on inner third on dorsal and 

 costal margins of male. Before the middle of costa there are two white marks 

 on extreme edge next to base, between these and middle are two white oblique 

 dashes, the lower ends continuing as pale blue-metallic, and almost running into 

 top of dorsal mark. Beyond middle are eight narrow oblique white dashes, the 

 first sends a metallic-blue line obliquely across wing and joins the upper end of 

 the vertical ocellic bar; from the fourth a metallic blue line runs parallel to costa 

 and combines with a similar extension from the eight. The ocellus is represented 

 by a vertical bar of silvery -gray metallic scales, the lower end resting on termen 

 above anal angle, it curves slightly inward. The white dorsal patch is broad and 

 divided into two lines by a line of brown, in some specimens each side line is 

 subdivided by a central dotting of brown scales; it curves slightly outward, and 

 in the 9 specimens there is a tendency to broaden out at upper end, which 

 reaches to middle of wing and terminates in a few metallic blue scales. Termi- 

 nal line black, cut below apex by a dash of whitish-fuscous. Cilia leaden-fuscous. 



Hindwing: dark bronzy-brown, cilia fuscous, underside both wings tlie same, 

 with costal dashes repeated. 



Three S and four 9 specimens : Placer Co., Cal., May to June ; 

 six collected by A. H. Vachell ; one, collection of U. S. Nat, Mus. 



This species is marked like tristrigana, but the shape of the wings 



and rather rough scales place it in the same class as americaua 



Wlsm. 



Eiiarin4»iiia wana sp. nov. 



Expanse 10-12 mm. 



Head : gray, speckled with darker gray ; palpi pale cinereous, upper end of tuft 

 a shade darker, outer joint blackish ; antenna gray, with darker annulations at 

 joints, thorax bronzy-brown, with a reddish-green tinge; abdomen shining 

 blackish-fuscous above, paler beneath, anal tuft whitish ; legs whitish-gray, shin- 

 ing iridescent scales. 



Forewing: shining bronzy-brown. Before the middle are three white costal 

 dashes, the inner one nearly obsolete, each continuing to top of cell in lines of 

 leaden-metallic. Beyond the middle are three pairs of white costal dashes, the 

 two inner pairs close together, the outer close to the apex, all are continuous as
