by the second median nervule ; another near upper corner of this last 

 and anterior to it, divided by the discal nervule ; a third divided by 

 same and extending obliquely to costal edge ; a fourth near the origin 

 of the upper median nervule ; and a fifth, small, in the lower median 

 interspace and in a line with a bent yellow bar that crosses the cell ; 

 secondaries have a complete series of yellow submarginal crescents, 

 preceded by a yellow streak reaching from abdominal margin to middle 

 of wing; across the disk, from abdominal margin to sub-costal nervule 

 a yellow band, broad in the middle, attenuated posteriorly; indistinct 

 fulvous markings near base and a white spot on cell. 



Under side of primaries fulvous next base, fuliginous on disk, grey 

 sprinkled with ferruginous next hind margin ; the spots as above, but 

 in addition, two small white spots near base, and an obsolete submar- 

 ginal line, or perhaps, series of crescents, the apical ones partially seen 

 and whitish. Secondaries have the band indistinct, and the crescents 

 obscured by brown ; anterior to these an incomplete row of brown 

 points ; beyond the band an irregular brown line crosses the wing, 

 from which to base are indistinct whitish markings. 



Body above fuscous ; beneath whitish ; antennae brown ; club black 

 fulvous at tip. 



From Southern Arizona, taken by Dr. Palmer, and in the collection 

 of the Agricultural Department, Washington, D. C. 

 Chionobas Stretchii, n. sp. 



Male. — Expands 2.1 inches. Upper side pale ochrey brown, the 

 basal portion clouded with dark brown ; on primaries a wavy brown 

 line crosses cell and is continued to sub-median ; on outer limb a 

 broad band of yellow white spots, the sub-apical one a streak only, the 

 next three large, elongated, confluent, with outer edges lanceolate; the 

 fifth separated by a space equal to its own width from the fourth and 

 by a narrower space from the sixth, which is broad, subovate ; the 

 seventh sub-quadrate; on the second spot is a small black ocellus near 

 apex, with white centre ; on third and fourth a large black ocellus 

 with white centre and a similar one on sixth. Secondaries have a broad 

 whitish extra discal band, of which the anterior edge is wavy, the pos- 

 terior serrate; near anal angle a small black ocellus, with white centre; 

 margins edged by a dark line; fringes ochrey brown. 



Under side in shades of grey and pale yellow brown, densely 

 specked and streaked with dark brown ; bands and spots nearly as 

 above, but all edged by distinct brown lines; near base of secondaries 

 a wavy transverse brown line ; the apical ocellus wanting.
