Expands. — .92-1.00 inch = 23-25 mm. 



Habitat. — Cartwright, Man., Mr. E. Firmstone Heath. 



Two males and three females are at hand, all of them of Mr. 

 Heath's collecting and three of them very good examples. The re- 

 lationship is to ochreipennis ; but the species is smaller, different in 

 color, the lines differ somewhat in course and the enlargement of the 

 $ antenna is made up in a different way — a character that must be 

 figured rather than described. 



DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW AMERICAN MOTHS. 



By Harrison G. Dyar, A.M., Ph.D., 

 Washington, D. C. 



Family COCHLIDIID/E. 



Genus SEMYRA Walker. 

 Semyra maris, new species. 



Dark blackish brown. Fore wings heavily obscured, without lighter areas, but 

 the terminal portion beyond the line of a more purplish luster. Line faint, fine, blu- 

 ish, from beyond middle of inner margin, slightly bent inward, running to the costo- 

 subapical mark, which consists of a small dark brown spot, nearly surrounded by a 

 bluish halo. Submedian space basally reddish with a slightly raised dot. Hind 

 wings brown, considerably lighter over disk to base. Expanse, 27 mm. 



One (J\ St. Laurent, Maroni River, French Guiana (Wm, Schaus). 



Type no. 9132, U. S. National Museum. 



Named in honor of Miss Mary Hudson of Plattsburgh, New York. 



The species is allied to S. distincta Moschl., and I have considered 

 the possibility of its being the male of that species ; but none of the 

 species of Semyra are sexually dimorphic, so I have decided that it is 

 more probably distinct. The lines are placed as in distincta, but the 

 apical part of the marking is obliterated. 



Family PYRALID/E. 



Subfamily Phycitin.e. 



Genus MYELOIS Hiibner. 

 Myelois glendella, new species. 



Light gray, the lines black except the subbasal blotch which is olivaceous. 

 Wing whitish, thickly dusted with black scales. Inner line broad, straight, dis- 

 tinctly oblique, edged with whitish within ; an olivaceous gray half band before it on
