within it; an oblique dark band on the middle of the costa is sharply 

 angled opposite the cell and proceeds to inner margin close to outer 

 line, but the part below the angle is often lost in the general dark 

 shading; a similar angled subbasal line shows in some of the specimens, 

 but it is generally still fainter than the mesial one; an illy defined 

 dark discal mark. Hind wing pale clayey or whitish, sparsely irrorate 

 with brown; an outer straight dark line and obscure discal dol : the 

 shading is darker at the anal angle. Expanse, 32 to 37 nun. 



Four males, two females, Mexico City, Mexico, February, April, 

 June, 1909, October, December, 1908 (R. M idler). 



Type.— Cat, No. 130.24, U.S.N.M. 



Allied to Selenia belisama Druce, but with a differently shaped 

 outer line. 



Genus TORNOS Morrison. 



TORNOS UMBROSARIUS, new species. 



Thorax clay color; abdomen dull black. Fore wing clay color, 

 the outer third of the wing overlaid with black except costally, a 

 streak running into the rounded discal dot, and another along sub- 

 median fold; lines obsolete, the outer indicated by dots. Hind 

 wing overspread with dull black, a faint, curved, wavy, mesial line 

 alone visible, pale without, dark-edged within. Expanse, 34 mm. 



One female, Orizaba, Mexico, January, 1909 (K. Midler); also four 

 females from Orizaba (Schaus collection). 



Type.— Cm. \<.. 1:1025, U.S.N.M. 



The specimens from the Schaus collection were considered by Mr. 

 Warren to be Tornos scolopacinarius Guenee; but 1 have seen no 

 specimens of this well-known North American species which at all 

 approach the Mexican form. Hulst described Tornos abjectarius from 

 Arizona, a type of which is before me, but it is only the dark form, 

 rohuj'i nosiis Morrison, which I can easily match in my Texan material. 

 Hulst also described Tornos cinctarius as a variety of scolopcLciriarius. 

 I have no type of this before me, but from the description it seems 

 much the same as Tornos quad 'ri punctata Warren, a distinct species. 

 No locality is given for ci nctarius; but Pearsall has supplied Florida 

 and Georgia. Quadripunctafa 1 have from Guadalajara, Jalapa, and 

 Orizaba, Mexico. A comparison of types will have to be made, 

 though it is unlikely that the species are really the same. 



Genus CCENOCHARIS Hulst. 



CCENOCHARIS F(EMINARIA, new species. 



Fore wing gray, powdery, sprinkled with light and dark scales: 

 inner line black, wavy, bent on median vein; discal mark indicated 

 by a slightly darker cloud: outer line black, wavy, nearly even in its 

 course, from outer fourth of cost a to middle of inner margin. Hind
