Eupanychis camina, new species. 



Head and thorax dull, smoky luteous, some of the thoracic scales with a metallic 

 lustre. Primaries smoky black over a dully whitish base. Basal space blackish, 

 extends fully one third of the wing, limiting the t. a. line by the contrast in color with 

 the pale median space. In course the line is somewhat acutely and a little irregularly 

 outcurved. Median space whitish, more or less black powdered, interrupted by the 

 large, oblong, black reniform. T. p. line rather evenly bisinuate, best marked by the 

 contrast with the black s. t. space. S. t. space black with a dusting of whitish scales, 

 narrowed by the outcurve of the t. p. line. S. t. line whitish gray, diffuse, a little 

 irregular, darkening outwardly into the smoky terminal area. A broad, black, lunate 

 terminal line. Fringes smoky at base, whitish at tip. Secondaries black, disc whitish 

 with a large black discal spot almost dividing it, fringes tipped with gray. Beneath, 

 primaries with maculation of upper side essentially reproduced but more contrasting. 

 Secondaries mostly whitish with black basal and discal spots and a black margin 

 which is incomplete apically. 



Expands. — .76 inch =19 mm. 



Habitat. — Hampton, New Hampshire, Weed and Fiske, No. 

 2164. 



One female specimen in fair condition. It is obviously allied to 

 spinosce in general appearance ; but is smaller, entirely without red- 

 brown admixture and not nearly so well marked. It has almost the 

 appearance and color of a diminutive Heliotliis. 

 Thalpochares hutsoni, new species. 



Ground color a faint creamy white, varying toward luteous. Head thorax and 

 abdomen concolorous, immaculate. Primaries as a rule a little darker than body, the 

 maculation a darker shade of the ground color with a slight olivaceous tinge in the 

 best marked specimens. Basal line discernible in one specimen, broad, diffuse, 

 broken. T. a. line broad, single, faintly relieved, with a rather even outcurve, 

 recognizable in about half the specimens and distinct in one. T. p. line a distinct 

 band, a little sinuate, as a whole nearly parallel with outer margin, broken by the 

 round reniform which is concolorous with the band and is cut out of it by a whitish 

 outline. A median shade band extends from the middle of costa to the t. p. line be- 

 low the cell ; but is complete in one example only. Terminal space is a little darker, 

 but no s. t. line is relieved. A series of black terminal dots. Secondaries whitish 

 with a faint yellowish tinge, fringes white. Beneath, primaries smoky ; secondaries 

 white. 



Expands. — .64 inch = 16 mm. 



Habitat. — Yuma Co., Ariz., in March, Mr. Hutson. 



Six examples, evenly divided as to sex, and all in good condition. 

 This little species is neatly if inconspicuously marked, and is named 

 after its collector, from whom I have received not a few novelties as 

 the result of his desert wanderings. That these explorations were 

 primarily for gold and that the capture and care of the specimens
