the uniformly black secondaries and tawny simply marked primaries 

 it differs from all others of the genus. The vestiture of the head and 

 thorax is predominantly hairy and rather close. The fore tibia has 

 one long somewhat curved inner claw and two spines above it, while 

 at the outer side it has three shorter claws decreasing in size from 

 the tip. 

 Schinia olivacea, new species. 



Head and thorax olivaceous gray, the greenish tinge quite obvious ; abdomen 

 with a thinner covering of olivaceous over a brown base. Primaries, basal space 

 brown, with a distinct reddish tinge at the base which becomes overlaid by olive 

 green until at the t. a. line it is the darkest part of the wing. T. a. line pale, 

 rather evenly and not very much outcurved. Median space olivaceous gray, forming 

 the palest portion of the wing anteriorly, darkening to a more intense olivaceous out- 

 wardly until it merges into the s. t. space, obscuring the very narrow gray t. p. line 

 which is even, obliquely bisinuate. S. t. line greenish gray, distinct, very even, 

 parallel to the outer margin. A broken, black terminal line. Fringes cut with 

 brown. Secondaries an even brownish black, fringes whitish. Beneath, primaries 

 smoky except on the costal margin and fringes ; the latter cut with blackish, the 

 former by a t. p. line ; secondaries costal half dull yellowish gray, with a discal 

 spot and outer line, inferior half blackish, fringes yellowish. 



Expands. — .84 inch = 21 mm. 



Habitat. — Beeville, Tex., in October. 



One female only, dated in 1895. I feel quite sure that I have seen 

 other specimens of this but have no record. It is allied to arcifera 

 and the male may differ in color. The anterior tibia has one long 

 pointed inner claw and three smaller outer spine-like claw -processes. 



Schinia ferricasta, new species. 



Head and thorax light chestnut or somewhat rusty brown ; abdomen more yel- 

 lowish. Primaries with basal space pale chestnut brown. T. a. line whitish, out- 

 wardly merging into the pale median space, with a wide and rather even outcurve. 

 T. p. line whitish, well defined, evenly and very slightly bisinuate. Median space 

 dull luteous gray with a brown tinge outwardly. S. t. space velvety brown, a little 

 less red than in basal space, lightening a little toward the outer margin to indicate a 

 vague pale s. t. line. Fringes concolorous with terminal space. A vague indication 

 of a reniform is traceable. Secondaries a somewhat deep coppery yellow from base 

 to beyond middle, where a blackish shading begins, extending to the outer margin. 

 Fringes lurid yellow. Beneath, primaries tawny yellow to beyond middle, a blackish 

 s. t. space and a rosy red terminal space ; discal spot black ; secondaries yellow at 

 base shading to rosy and then to brownish outwardly.
