marked with dusky : in the $ a little yellowish in tinge. Beneath, primaries 

 a little smoky, the margins reddish powdered and with an incomplete extra- 

 median line : secondaries paler or whitish, reddish powdered along costal area, 

 with an incomplete extramedian line. 



Expands, i. 28-1. 45 inches ^ 32-36 mm. 



Habitat. — Pullman, Washington (Piper); Reno, Nevada; Fort 

 Collins, Colorado, April 12 and July 8 (Doll). 



Two males and two females in good or fair condition. The 

 species belongs to the piscipclUs series ; but is brighter in color than 

 any of the described species, with the transverse maculation almost 

 completely wanting. The concolorous front and collar differentiate 

 it from most of the allied forms. 



Aplectoides livalis, new species. 



Mottled olivaceous gray over a white ground, markings black, clear cut. 

 Head white, front with an incomplete black line, vertex becoming olivaceous. 

 Collar olivaceous to a dusty shading below the white tip. Disc of thorax and 

 patagia mottled, black and white. Abdomen dull gray. Primaries with a 

 rather even olivaceous shading over the white ground, the lines black, included 

 spaces white. Maculation very similar to speciosa, but much better defined, 

 more contrasting, without any brown shadings ; really more like prcssa in 

 general appearance and size. A distinct black bar below median vein between 

 the basal and t. a. lines. A black bar, which is probably variable in defini- 

 tion, between the lower portion of the ordinary spots. Orbicular irregular, 

 tending to become incomplete above. Reniform with a black center, smaller 

 and more irregular than in speciosa. 



Expands, 1.60 inches = 40 mm. 



Habitat. — Newfoundland. 



This seems to be a good species, although in essentials the mac- 

 ulation is like that of speciosa. The latter however is always darker, 

 more obscure and tends to a uniformity of coloring rather than a 

 heightening of the contrasts. The type is a single male in very good 

 condition without date or specific location. I believe it was included 

 among the material received from Mr. Wm. T. Bryant, of Cohassett, 

 Mass.* 



* Since the above was prepared Sir George F. Hampson writes : " I have 

 got a very distinct new Aplectoides from Newfoundland allied to speciosa 

 ... ; it is much smaller than speciosa, black and white with hardly any 

 brown tinge and a very small orbicular which is erect, open above and con- 

 stricted at middle." 



I have little doubt this refers to my species, although my example seems 

 larger and the orbicular is certainly not constricted at middle.
