by the non-spinose tibia; the markings of primaries are shown PI. VIII, 

 fig. 02 ; the secondaries vary from having a single spot at middle of 

 costal margin to three confluent spots, forming a yellowish band across 

 secondaries. Expands § inch, 20-2-4 millim. 

 Habitat. — California and Nevada. 



H. fasciata, Hy. Edw. (PL VIII, fig. 63). 



Almost certainly a variety of the preceding, but my material is not 

 large enough to prove it ; the under side is identical, and the marking 

 of the upper side of primaries is the same ; only the very pale color of 

 the primaries above separates the two. Expands f inch, 20 millim. 



Habitat. — Nevada. 



H. dubitans, Tepper (PI. VIII. fig. 64). 



Described by Mr. Tepper at my request. The single specimen from 

 Nevada wants the anterior legs, but is otherwise perfect ; a single 

 spinule terminating the median tibiae leads me to feel a slight doubt 

 about the correctness of the generic reference, for which I am respon- 

 sible ; the markings on upper surface of primaries are shown in the fig- 

 ure ; the reverse is a copy of the upper side, except that the colors are 

 black and white ; secondaries black, with a narrow white band composed 

 of confluent spots. Expands f inch, 20 millim. Type coll. Tepper.

H. nexilis, Morr., Proc. Ac. Nat. Sci. Phil. 1S75, 102 (Eutricopis) ; Grote. 

 New Check List (Me/ichptria); elaborate., Hy. Edw., Papilio I, 21 (PI. VIII, fig. 65). 



I have had before me the types of Eutricopis nexilis and Mel. elabo- 

 rata, the former from Mr. Tepper's collection, the latter from Mr. Ed- 

 wards'. They are undoubtedly identical. Mr. Morrison's type is a % , Mr. 

 Edwards' a $ , and the latter is the brighter colored and rather the more 

 perfect specimen. The secondaries are black, and have two whitish spots 

 on disc, barely connected. £ and $ expands f inch, 20-23 millim.

PSEUDAt'OMTIA, gen. nov. 



Eyes naked, large, globose •, clypeus full ; palpi short, with heavy 

 middle and small terminal joint ; the latter truncate at tip ; tongue 

 moderate ; vestiture smooth, scaly, with a small posterior tuft ; primaries 

 elongate, with rounded apices and outer margin ; abdomen conic without 

 tufts on the specimens I have seen ; legs strong, with unusually elongate 

 posterior tarsi ; tibiae notspinose, anterior abbreviated, widened at tip, with 

 corneous termination and a stout, strong inner claw (PI. VII, fig. 45). 



Bears a strong superficial resemblance to Aconfia. as which the species 

 was described by Mr. Morrison. This is
