Eight examples, mostly in good condition and all females. Two 

 specimens came through Dr. Barnes ; the others are from Mr. Poling 

 directly, or from Mr. Hutson. At first sight the specimens resemble 

 quadriplaga ; but the dark secondaries and the maculation of the fringes 

 negatived that reference. I am not so sure now that this is not simply 

 the female of pima and that the somewhat imperfect specimen that I 

 have associated with the male type does not belong elsewhere. I have 

 no other example, however, of white secondaries and abdomen in the 

 male as against gray in the female, and no such uniform difference in 

 the costal margin. I prefer to give the name, therefore, to call atten- 

 tion to the matter. 



Acontia alata, new species. 



I lead, collar and thorax laterally white; thoracic disc grayish olive with a 

 white central line or broader mark. Primaries dark, even olive gray, costa white 

 nearly to the apex ; a white stripe from base below median vein to about the center ot 

 the wing, then curved upward and extending obliquely to the costa within the apex. 

 The entire region above this white stripe is more or less white marked. There is a 

 narrow white terminal line and the tips of the fringes are whitish, secondaries smoky 

 yellowish, the fringes paler. Beneath, primaries even, glistening dark gray, secon- 

 daries whitish. 



Expands : .65-. 70 inches = 15-16 mm. 



Habitat. — Baboquavaria Mts., Pima County, Arizona, July 15- 

 30 ; O. C. Poling. 



Three males and one female, all in good condition ; one ^ from 

 Dr. Barnes, whose label reads " Babaquivera," the others from Mr. 

 Poling direct. The species is altogether unlike any Other Acontia and 

 is more like Thalpochares in appearance, if not in structure. The 

 front is cylindrically protuberant. 



Acontia eudryada, new species. 



1 1< ad, thorax and abdomen white. Primaries white to the outer third at inner 

 margin, and from that point a gray and olivaceous shade extends with an outcurve to 

 the apex, narrowing so as to include only the s. t. space, leaving the terminal space 

 white until just before the apex is reached. At base there is a slate gray costal shade 

 to show the inception of a t. a. line. At middle there is a small trigonate cloud. 

 The outer shading has a golden yellow tinge at the inner edge, and an angulated 

 metallic blue line which extends as a powdering to the apex. Secondaries blackish, 

 paler at base ; fringe whitish. Beneath, primaries black clouded ; secondaries 

 whitish. 



Expands: 1.05 inches = 26 mm. 



Habitat. — Southern Arizona, August 15-30, Mr. O. C. Poling.
