CHOREUTIS BALSAMORRHIZELLA, new species. 



Antennte black, with silvery white annulations. Second joint of 

 labial palpi golden brown, with well-developed tuft of brown, black, 

 and white hairs; the end of the joint is white, with a deep black annu- 

 lation just before the tip; terminal joint white, sprinkled with brown 

 and black scales. Face and head covered with blackish scales, the 

 tips of which are golden brown. Thorax golden brown, the patagia 

 with a bluish metallic longitudinal streak. Base of fore wing golden 

 brown, with a costal and a central longitudinal streak, metallic blue. 

 Outside of this basal patch, which extends farther out along the costa 

 than on the dorsal edge, the wing is thickly covered with cream- 

 colored scales, which form a broad obliqe whitish fascia; on the middle 

 of the outer irregular edge of this fascia is a small, dark-edged spot 

 of bright metallic scales. The middle portion of the wing is golden 

 greenish, sprinkled with whitish and golden scales, and the end of the 

 wing is again heavily overlaid with cream-colored scales. At the end 

 of the cell is a large, black edged metallic spot, followed by a short 

 transverse oblique orange streak, which again is followed by black 

 and metallic scales. At apical third is an oblique unmottled cream- 

 colored costal streak, preceded by a few metallic scales, and a few such 

 scales are also found on the tip of the wing just before apex. Cilia 

 dark brown. 



Hind wings dark gray, the underside with three irregular transverse 

 white bands, of which the outer is shown through on the upper surface 

 of the wing.
