Schinia pallicincta, new species. 



Head and thorax pale lemon over clay yellow ; abdomen a little paler. Pri- 

 maries yellow luteous over a whitish base, the median lines broad, whitish, diffuse. 

 T. a. line nearly upright. T. p. line oblique a little outcurved over cell. In one 

 specimen the s. t. line is quite well defined near costa by preceding brown scales ; in 

 the other it is almost lost. No discal spots. Secondaries blackish with a rosy red 

 tinge; fringes pale. Beneath, primaries yellowish with blackish disk and discal 

 mark a little tinged with rosy. Secondaries yellowish with a smoky disc which is 

 strongly tinged with rosy. 



Expands, — .7 2-. So inch = 18-20 mm. 



Habitat. — San Diego County, Calif. ; Utah. 



Two female examples, both somewhat defective. The two ex- 

 amples are very much alike in appearance and essential structure ; but 

 differ in that the Utah example has a very distinctly marked s. t. line 

 which in the California example is obscure. The former is to be con- 

 sidered the type should the latter prove to be distinct. The fore tibia 

 has a very long inner curved claw and two shorter outer claws also 

 slender and somewhat spine like. 



Schinia tobia, new species. 



Head and thorax olivaceous luteous over a whitish base. Abdomen whitish. 

 Primaries dull olivaceous with the transverse markings broadly white. Extreme base 

 white. T. a. line a broad white band, inwardly defined, outwardly diffuse, broader 

 on the costa and internal margin, a little outcurved. T. p. line broad, white, 

 margins not sharply defined, tending to broaden on costa and inner margin. S. t. 

 line a little irregular, indefined, not strongly marked. S. t. space is darker than 

 ground on costa and internal margin, and paler between these po ; nts ; but no well 

 marked blotching occurs. Fringes a little paler than ground. The reniform is a 

 whitish lunule which may become almost or quite obsolete. Secondaries whitish, 

 with a dull olivaceo-luteous outer margin ; fringes white. Beneath white, primaries 

 a little gray shaded and sometimes with a discal spot. 



Expands. — .92 inch = 23 mm. 



Habitat. — Phcenix, Ariz., September 16-23. 



Two good females, through Dr. Barnes ; very similar in appear- 

 ance and obviously allied to sexplagiata and biundulata, really in a 

 way intermediate, yet differing from both. The fore tibia has a long, 

 slender, pointed inner claw with two much smaller spines above it, 

 and two shorter outer spine-like claws and smaller spines above them. 

 Schinia constricta, Hy. Edw. 



This species has long been a puzzle to me and I have been keep- 

 ing close watch for specimens since I first saw the type in 1882 ; but 

 until recently without success. In my Revision of 1883 I note that,
