discal point, a mesial narrow line, and a subterminal shaded broad 

 one. Expanse, 28 mm. 



Type—Yemsile, No. 14216, U.S.N.M,, Tehuacan, Mexico, Septem- 

 ber, 1008. 



The specimen was determined by Sir G. F. Hampson, as Perigea 

 concisa Walker. It is extremely close to that species in marldngs, 

 but the form is much slenderer than any concisa in my series, while the 

 hind wings beneath differ considerably. 



PERIGEA MICRIPPIA, new species. 



Head and collar reddish bromi; disk of thorax silvery gray; 

 abdomen pale gray. Fore wing silvery gray marked with reddish 

 brown; the bro\vn color along the costa forms a patch at basal 

 fourth, a long one near the middle extending down between the large 

 concolorous stigmata, a small patch above reniform and three dots 

 beyond; a brown patch in base of cell before orbicular; a small 

 quadrate patch below orbicular; outer line double, indistinct; a 

 brown dash from apex to outer line, the subterminal space below it 

 solidly filled with brown, the terminal space less brown but likewise 

 solidly filled, the colors separated by a wavy luteous subterminal 

 line; a dark dot above tornus; a row of fine terminal black dashes; 

 reniform and orbicular defined from the ground color by the brown 

 shadings and a median longitudinal grayish shade and also a few 

 black specks on their margins. Hind wing soiled whitish, stained 

 with brown on the termen, especially broadly so at apex. Beneath 

 the costal region of fore wing and apex of hind wing is irregularly 

 blotched with dark red. Expanse, 25 mm.
