2 AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 



Kvetria sabiniana sp. nov. 



Expanse 22-23 mm. 



Head : whitish, tinged with sahnon on sides ; palpi white, lightly tinged with 

 pink on sides; thorax white, mottled with salmon ; antenna light salmon ; abdo- 

 men white, anal tuft yellowish ; legs salmon, thinly banded and dusted with white. 



Forewing : salmon, with a broad white fascia across middle of wing and a 

 narrower white fascia across wing at outer third. The white fasciae are edged 

 with shining scales, and a short line of the same cross wing before apex. These 

 shining scales are white in the fascije and salmon elsewhere. The outer fascia is 

 forked at costa, enclosing a small dot of salmon, between it and apex are two 

 other obscure white costal dots. In the middle of wing at base is a streak of 

 scales that are more of a pink shade than the salmon. Cilia white. 



Hind wing: pale straw color, cilia white; underside the same, but darker below 

 costa. Underside forewing ochreous yellow, dotted with white on costa, cilia 

 white. 



One specimen from collections U. S. Nat. Mus., bearing labels, 

 " Sacramento Co., Cal.," " Augt. 9, '85," " 3820," " 43," " Larva on 

 Fhius sabiuiana,'' and a label in Walsingham's handwriting " Ste- 

 ganoptica n. sp. allied to sinicolana and huolana of Europe, left 

 wings to W. 186." 



One specimen from J. G. Gruudel, Santa Clara, Cal., emerged 

 from pine gum, June 20, 1904. This last specimen is darker than 

 the first; the head, palpi, and thorax are shades of pinkish brown ; 

 the forewing is also more of a brownish pink, but the fascise, shining 

 scales, and other marks are the same in both.

Kvetria zozana sp. nov. 



Expanse 20 mm. 



Head : pale fawn, mixed salmon, collar pale straw color; palpi very pale fawn 

 within, speckled with light fuscous, externally red dish -salmon ; antenna gray ; 

 thorax reddish-salmon in front and base of patagia, the balance gray, speckled 

 with white; abdomen fuscous; legs speckled, cinereous gray and white. 



Forewing: inner two-thirds white, heavily reticulated with blackish fuscous, 

 somewhat concentrated in two darker fascia at inner fourth and middle, the lat- 

 ter is overlaid with dull ochreous scales on lower two-thirds. The outer third is 

 reddish, divided by a whitish-pink fascia composed of a large spot below costa 

 and another one above anal angle. The inner half of this reddish area is over- 

 laid with dull ochreous on lower half; the outer portion, outlining termen, is 

 intense red and forms a narrow fascia which is enlarged a third below costa and 

 continuous to costa before ajiex as an ochreous streak. Beyond the red terminal 

 band is a narrow white pieciliate line. The cilia are pinkish, with a speckled 

 white and gray line dividing this color below apex and superceding the pink at 

 the anal angle. 



Hind wing: smoky fuscous, darker at apex, cilia fuscous, with a darker line at 

 base and a lighter line beyond.
