Professor Piper's label, and are, I believe, a part of a lot received 

 subsequent to his removal from Washington. 



Xylina atincta, new species. 



Ground color dull ashen gray without any greenish or mossy tinge. Antennae 

 whitish at base. Collar with a subapical black line, a narrow dark line on patagia 

 basing the wings. Primaries with the upper half of basal space whitish, hardly con- 

 trasting, the orbicular white or whitish, nearly always contrasting, the reniform with 

 a faint reddish tinge, a trace of which also occurs before the t. a. line on some speci- 

 mens. There is a slender black basal streak which curves upward and does not reach 

 much if any beyond the middle of the basal space. Basal line geminate, indicated 

 on the costa only. T. a. line geminate, outer portion a little darker and thicker, as 

 a whole a little oblique and outcurved on the interspaces. T. p. line irregular, well 

 curved over the reniform, abruptly bent in below it ; geminate broken, inner line 

 more or less lunulate, outer obscure. S. t. line paler than outer margin, preceded 

 by a variably distinct dusky shade, which tends to become broken into spots. There 

 is a series of distinct interspaceal terminal lunules. Median shade obvious in most 

 specimens, crossing obliquely beyond the middle and outwardly diffuse. Claviform 

 small, concolorous, obscurely outlined, scarcely traceable in some cases. Orbicular 

 of good size, narrow, oblique, a little constricted centrally, narrowly black ringed, 

 usually pale filled so as to be contrasting, but sometimes almost concolorous. Reni- 

 form large, broadly kidney-shaped, inner margin a narrow black line, outer border 

 gray ; the center is obscurely dark and shaded with a more or less obvious reddish 

 tint. Secondaries smoky with a slight tendency to reddish, the fringes paler. Beneath, 

 primaries dark smoky with costal and outer margin reddish gray and powdery; 

 secondaries reddish gray, powdery, with a distinct smoky extra-median line and a 

 well defined discal spot. 



Expands: i. 44-1. 58 inches = 36-39 mm. 



Habitat. — Cartwright, Manitoba in September. 



Three males and six females all from Mr. Geo. J. Keller, of 

 Newark, who received them from a correspondent unknown to me. 

 The species is not represented in the material sent me by Mr. Heath, 

 nor have I had it from any correspondent in that region. I have a 

 specimen from the mountains of western Pennsylvania that seems to 

 belong here and is probably conspecific. The species resembles 

 tepida but is not so well marked and lacks the contrasts of that species. 



Cucullia arizona, new species. 



Ground color dark bluish ash gray, with the maculation smoky and black, 

 sharply defined. Head deep blackish brown, crossed by black and gray lines. 

 Collar gray, with three blackish and two white transverse lines. Dorsum of thorax 

 black powdered ; distorted by pressure and therefore not definitely describable. 

 Primaries with maculation intermediate between convexipennis and montanes. From 

 the middle of the costa to the outer margin below the apex a paler gray shade extends, 

 leaving the apical space darker than the rest of the wing and relieving the black scale
