No. 2307. ]^EW SPECIES OF LEPIDOPTERA—SCHAUS. 141 



CRINODES CRENULATA, new species. 



Male. — Palpi and frons dark brovv'n. Antennae with the shaft 

 cream color, the pectinations light ])rown. Vertex, collar, and 

 thorax gray; dark brown transverse lines on collar and patagia. 

 Abdomen ochreous; a dorspJ gray tuft at base; white anal tuft 

 mottled with white fan-shaped scales. Fore wings mostly gray; 

 long dark steel gray streaks from ])ase on costa, below cell, and 

 along submedian vein; a velvety black, interrupted antemedial line, 

 inwardly edged v/ith white, outangied on costa to near end of cell, 

 less deeply angled in cell, very slightly so below cell, and on subme- 

 dian outangied to postmedial line and inbent to near base of inner 

 margin; a white shade mottled with pale brown at end of cell; 

 postmedial fuscous, slightly outcurved beyond cell, incurved below 

 it, followed by a liner less distinct parallel line, and then by the 

 sub terminal line which is also parallel and heavily marked, espe- 

 cially from vein 4 to costa, these three lines suffusing in a dark shade 

 on inner margin; the space betv/een these lines shaded with l^rown; 

 a terminal black line preceded by whitish shading on interspaces; 

 cilia whitish with dark spots at veins. Hind wings: the base pale 

 ochreous, the outer portion fuscous with traces of two fine wavy 

 postmedial lines. Wings below bone color with broad postmedial 

 fuscous shading not reaching either the costal or inner margins. 



Expanse. — 55 mm. 



Habitat. — Sinaloa, Mexico. 



Ty])e.—Csit. No. 22471, U.S.N.M. 



According to the key this species would fall in the genus Proely- 

 miotis, but it is every way, except the crenulate margin, typically a 

 Crinodes. In appearance it comes very close to C. nehulosa Schaus 

 from Argentina. 



DASYLOPHIA EMINENS, new species. 



Male. — Head, thorax, and abdomen grayish white; palpi gray 

 laterally streaked with brown on terminal half; collar brown mot-

 dark brown, a fine black streak below it along medial third of wing; 

 a small brown spot above cell close before middle crossed by a very 

 irregular fine fuscous and outcurved medial line which barely reaches 

 inner maigin; a black line from base below cell reaching the medial 

 line, the medial vein to this line dark brown, beyond it streaked 

 with black to beyond ceil near vein 5; a fuscous brown line in cell 

 anteriorly from medial line, interrupted by discocellular and continu- 

 ing between veins 5 and 6 to near termen; a black line and fuscous 

 shading between veins 6 and 7, and a terminal black streak above 

 vein 7; some fuscous shading below end of cell, these lines and 

 shading forming an undefined dark oblique shade to termen just 

 below apex; base of veins 6 and 7, veins 2 to 5 terminally also sub-
