JOHN B. SMITH, SC. D. 135 



concolorous, incompletely brown ringed. Reniform large, slightly constricted, 

 inferiorly dusky. Secondaries very pale, smoky yellow, with a rosy flush ; a 

 vague s. t. darker shade and smoky discal spot. Beneath : rosy reddish, prima- 

 ries paler, all wings with discal spot. 

 Expands 1.12 inches = 28 mm. 



Hah. — Southern California. 



One male in good condition, save that it lacks antennae and the 

 tips of primaries are a little broken. I have no data as to the source 

 of the specimen. It resembles antapica in a general way, but is 

 smaller, more even in tint, without the contrasts that distinguish the 

 larger species. 



Orthopia aggresNa n. sp. 



Ground color a very pale luteous gray. Head and thorax concolorous. Prima- 

 ries with basal and outer area washed with bluish-gray, leaving the median area 

 more dull in appearance. Basal line indicated on the costal region. T. a. line 

 geminate, smoky, even, with an even oblique outcurve to inner margin. T. p. 

 line geminate, blackish, even, only a little outcurved over the cell. Median 

 shade smoky, distinct, outwardly oblique from costa to reniform inferiorly, then 

 parallel with t. p. line to inner margin. A smoky costal blotch between s. t. and 

 t. p. lines. S. t. line punctiform, consisting of smoky, somewhat lunate inter- 

 spaceal spots outwardly marked by paler scales. Fringes dusky, with a series of 

 vague terminal lunules preceding them. Orbicular large, irregular, concolorous, 

 scarcely defined. Reniform large, upright, a little constricted, inferiorly dusky, 

 else not well defined. Secondaries paler, more transparent yellowish, with a 

 smoky suffusion in the female. Beneath : dirty white, more or less powdery, 

 usually with discal spots on all wings, and on secondaries sometimes an extra- 

 median dusky line. 



Expands 1.12-1.25 inches = 28-31 mm.

 ney Gulch, July 16th ; Clear Creek Canon, August 24th ; Cart- 

 wright, Manitoba. 



Five % and one 9 , mostly poor. Quite readily distinguished by 

 its very pale gray color and very even median lines. The S antennae 

 are ciliate only. 



Homoglsea dives n. sp. 



Head and thorax deep blackish-brown, the thoracic vestiture becoming black 

 over the base of the abdomen. Primaries deep red-brown, paler along the inner 

 margin and becoming darker until at the costa the color is almost purplish-black. 

 The median lines are geminate, deeper velvety brown, not contrasting but readily 

 made out, in course like those of carbonaria, of which this is an ally. Median 

 shade rich brown, better marked than median lines, angulated at the inferior 

 angle of the reniform, which may be invaded by the darker shade. S. t. line 

 irregular, pale, preceded by blackish scales, which, on the costa, form a distinct
