6. Polia tristis, new species. 



Male. — Antennae fasciculate ; head and thorax black-brown, sprinkled with 

 white scales, collar tipped with white and with black transverse band, patagia 

 edged with white ; primaries, deep purplish gray, shaded in median area with 

 brown ; black basal dash, edged on costal side with ochreous ; subbasal line 

 indistinct, strongly outcurved below costa, thence with sharp angle to end of 

 basal dash ; t.a. line only visible near inner margin as two black lunules, edged 

 with white inwardly, the upper one much the larger, closely approached to 

 the t.p. line and connected with it by black dash, the area above this dash 

 being distinctly brown ; orbicular oblique, oblong, gray, imperfectly edged with 

 black and preceded by some gray scaling on costa ; reniform large, strongly 

 hollowed out towards apex of wing, gray, shaded with darker and outlined 

 inwardly with black; between reniform and t.p. line is a distinct brown area; 

 t.p. line indistinct in costal half, angled sharply inwardly near inner margin 

 at a point connected with t.a. line by black dash ; subterminal line angled 

 below costa, preceded opposite reniform by patch of gray and black scaling, 

 indistinct in lower portion ; anal angle filled with gray arid yellow scaling, 

 defined towards costa by black dash ; fringes light, checkered with darker. Sec- 

 ondaries smoky gray, with broad dark outer margin. Beneath, primaries, 

 smoky, shaded with gray, with indistinct discal dot and median band ; sec- 

 ondaries whitish, sprinkled with dark brown along costa and inner margin, 

 with discal dot and median band more prominent than on primaries. 



Expanse, 31 mm. 



This species superficially resembles the preceding, differs how- 

 ever in the details of maculation, and may be distinguished readily 

 by the cross-bar between t.a. and t.p. lines, and the lack of the prom- 

 inent subterminal line of purpurea. 



Habitat. — Palmerlee, Ariz. Type i male. Coll. Barnes. 



7. Cirphis dissimilis, new species. 



Female. — Ground color of body and primaries deep purple brown ; macu- 

 lation very indistinct ; orbicular small, circular, filled with yellowish brown ; 

 reniform similar in color, not well defined ; t.a. line almost obsolete, traces of 

 it discernible as a sharp yellow-brown tooth below cubitus ; t.p. line very faint, 

 curved, formed of a series of yellow-brown lunules ; subterminal line repre- 

 sented by a few darkish spots edged outwardly with yellowish ; on costa near 

 apex two or three white spots ; a terminal row of minute yellow dots at 

 extremity of veins ; fringes concolorous with wings. Secondaries dusky, semi- 

 hyaline towards base and inner angle. Beneath, primaries smoky, shaded with 

 purple-brown along costa and outer margin and slightly sprinkled with 

 ochreous ; spots on costa and extremity of veins as above ; secondaries, lighter 

 than above ; hyaline area more extended, prominent discal spot present. 



Expanse, 41 mm.
