Dec, igo 5 .] DYAR : A NEW ONCOCNEMIS FROM NEVADA. 211 



One female specimen, almost perfect. Is allied to cretata but 

 larger, with a much narrower outer band and blackish secondaries. 

 It is to my mind the handsomest species in this attractive genus. 



Acontia cuta, new species. 



Head, thorax and abdomen white, the latter with a creamy tinge. Primaries 

 white to the middle, beyond which it is gray except for a lunate mark on the costa. 

 This lunate mark is separated from the white base by an inwardly oblique band of 

 gray, and does not extend to the apex. A white patch in the fringes of outer margin 

 at about the middle. The orbicular is round, of moderate size, concolorous, narrowly 

 brown ringed. Secondaries whitish. Beneath, primaries yellowish, with macula- 

 tion of upper surface showing faintly. Secondaries whitish. 



Expands : .75 inch = 19 mm. 



Habitat. — Santa Rita Mts. , Pima County, Arizona, Dr. Barnes ; 

 Baboquavaria Mts., July 15-30, O. C. Poling. 



Three female specimens in fair condition. A very simply marked 

 form of the elegantula type.
