10 AMERK AN LEFIDOPTERA. 



cal thiifl. The inner pale fascia form two geminate spots on costa ; from the 

 inner a broken line of steel-hlue metallic scales, starting on the inside edge of 

 fascia, crosses it, and on lower half outlines the outer edge ; from the outer gemi- 

 nate spot a short line of metallic bounds the outer edge of fascia. There are two 

 similar geminate spots and metallic lines from outer pale fascia; the inner line 

 is much broken, but in dots outlines the inner edge of fascia; the outer metallic 

 line follows outer edge of fascia to middle, then goes nearly to anal angle, but 

 does not connect with a small group of metallic scales at that point. There are 

 two geminate costal spots before apex, from the inner a metallic line maigins 

 termen nearly to anal angle; from the outer a short metallic line defines a darker 

 apical spot; between these Hues is a streak or narrow fascia of reddish-brown. 

 There is a blackish preciliate line preceded by an irregular mottled line. The 

 cilia is shining leaden at apex, cream color below, with dashes of brownish-fus- 

 cous in middle of wing and outwardly edged with this color below middle. 



Hind wing: smoky, dark brown ; cilia cream-white with a fuscous basal line; 

 underside the same, but somewhat mottled with pale fawn; underside forewing 

 smoky, dark brown ; costal dots repeated. 



Ten specimens, Aweme, Manitoba, June 39th to July 5th, Nor- 

 man Griddle ; Regina, Assa., July 2d, T. N. Willing; Winnipeg,

Olethreiile^ coroiiaiia sp. nov. 



Expanse 16 to 19 mm. 



Head: pale fawn, mixed with a few black scales on top; palpi pale fawn, 

 blackish on outer end of tuft and with a black dot above on outside of second and 

 first joints; antenna whitish-fawn ; thorax fawn in which black is mixed ; ends 

 of patagia paler fawn ; abdomen blackish-fuscous, posterioily each segment edged 

 with whitish; anal tuft yellowish-ochreous, darker at base; legs dark cream, 

 banded and powdered with blackish-brown. 



Forewing : pale olivaceous brown or light fawn, mottled with black and crossed 

 by a number of steely-blue metallic lines. The black scales are closer together 

 forming a dark fascial shade across wing at middle; inner edge straight, outer 

 edge rounded ; its width at middle is half the width of wing. A similar but less 

 distinct dark shade beyond end of cell, starting from the two middle ef the four 

 geminate costal spots on outer half; its inner edge slightly concave to dorsal 

 margin, its outer edge sweeping around before termen. The paler fascia between 

 these is narrower than the outer dark fascia, and is divided at its lower third, 

 sending a branch to anal angle and one to outer fourth of dorsum, and enclosing 

 in the fork a triangular darker spot. The metallic irregularly separates these 

 lighter and darker areas. A short metallic line from costa before apex outlines 

 a small brown spot. Cilia cream-white with a small spot of fuscous in apex, and 

 similar dashes at ends of veins 3, 4, and 5. 



Hindwing: cream-white, lightly dotted with brownish-fuscous around margin, 

 and veins 6 and 7 overlaid with same color beyond the cell; cilia whitish with a 

 darker basal line; underside the same w'ith less brown scales. Underside fore- 

 wing olivaceous brown, mottled with yellovvish-vvhite before termen and costal 

 spots repeated in same color. 



Three specimens, Aweme, Man., July 9th and 31st, Norman Grid-
