Expands. — 1.04-1.16 inches =26 — 29 mm. 



Habitat. — Kerrville, Texas. 



I have two female specimens, one well preserved though papered, 

 the other without locality and somewhat rubbed, from Dr. Barnes, 

 but almost certainly from Kerrville also, though by a different col- 

 lector. The armature of the fore tibia consists of a heavy inner claw, 

 above which is a curved stout spine and a series of small spines, and 

 three outer blunt claws decreasing in size toward base. 



The species is allied to trifascia in appearance and belongs next 

 to it in Hampson's arrangement, differing most obviously in the angu- 

 lated t. a. line and huge reniform spot. 

 Schinia alensa, new species. 



Ground color dull creamy white, the markings olivaceous luteous. Head and 

 thorax immaculate, thorax a little washed with luteous. Basal space luteous, darken- 

 ing a little to the t. a. line which is defined by the contrast between basal and median 

 space and is evenly arcuate. Median space white to the t. p. line which is evenly 

 bisinuate, marked by the contrast between median and s. t. space, the median space 

 broken by an outer, diffuse shade which may form a somewhat even band and may 

 broaden inferiorly so as to leave only broad pale median lines. S. t. space olivaceous 

 luteous, almost cut opposite the cell by a deep indentation from the pale terminal 

 space. A series of dusky or blackish terminal marks at the base of the dusky fringes. 

 The reniform is marked by two small black dots connected by a narrow line of black 

 scales. Secondaries white, with a dusky, obscure outer border and a faint discal 

 spot. Beneath, primaries creamy gray with a large, blackish discal mark. Secon- 

 daries white, immaculate. 



Expands. — .86-1.00 inch = 22-25 mm. 



Habitat. — Southern Arizona, August 1 — 1 5, Poling; Wilgus, 

 Cochise Co., Ariz., no date. 



Two males and two females in fair condition, a pair from each 

 locality, through Dr. Barnes. There is some variation in the intensity 

 of the darker shading and some in its extent ; but as a whole the 

 specimens look very much alike. The relationship is to separata with 

 which the new species agrees in tibial armature. 

 Schinia illustra, new species. 



Head and thorax rather pale ocherous yellow, abdomen whitish yellow. Pri- 

 maries a little deeper in ground than the thorax, the shadings in brownish ochre. T. 

 a. line even, with a moderately long median angulation, preceded by an ocher-brown 

 shading and marked by a few dark scales outwardly — otherwise the line is concolor- 

 ous. The outer portion of median space is filled by an ocher brown shade which in- 

 cludes the t. p. lines, invades the s. t. space and from which rays extend along the 

 veins to the outer margin. T. p. line of the ground color, outwardly denticulated on 

 the veins, in course very evenly bisinuated. There is no s. t. line. Orbicular want-
