ochreous ; the three white dashes of upperside on costa near apex repeated ; 

 just basad of first an indistinct blackish band crosses wing; a discal lunula 

 is also present ; secondaries ochreous sprinkled with brown except at base, 

 median dentate brown line and round discal spot more prominent than on 

 upperside ; fringes of both wings light, on primaries edged with darker brown. 

 Expanse, 34 mm. 



This species, easily recognizable by the broad white central area, 

 seems best placed, according to Hampson's tables, in the genns 

 Pcrigca, although the palpi are shorter than in most of the other 

 members of the genus. The abdomen is unfortunately rubbed in the 

 specimen before us, so we are unable to state whether it is tufted 

 or not. 



Habitat. — Redington, Ariz, i female. Type, Coll. Barnes. 



11. Oligia (Hadena) fractilinea albescens, new variety. 



Distinguished from the typical form by the greater extent of the light 

 buff-colored area of primaries, leaving only some slight dark shading along 

 costa and a narrow irregular border along outer margin ; reddish tinge on 

 wing much less prominent ; reniform centered with white ; other markings 

 obsolete ; secondaries much paler in color in both sexes, light buff. 



Habitat. — Vineyard, Ut., Provo, Ut. (15-24 Aug.). Described 

 from 2 males and 5 females. Type, Coll. Barnes. 



This is probably the western race of this species. 



12. Cerma albipuncta, new species. 



Palpi dark blackish brown edged inwardly with lighter ; front ochreous ; 

 collar, thorax and patagia dark brown sprinkled with gray ; primaries, ground 

 color deep sepia brown, more or less sprinkled with gray and slightly olivaceous 

 scales ; t.a. line at about one fourth the distance from base, rather dentate, 

 very slightly outcurved, black, edged with lighter shades, especially on costal 

 portion ; orbicular very small, circular, edged with black and filled with scales 

 of a more or less pronounced olivaceous tint : reniform prominent, white, with 

 slight black scaling in central portion, and preceded by a dark shade ; t.p. line 

 single, black, dentate, strongly outcurved just below costa, thence slightly 

 oblique to a point on inner margin two thirds from base, edged outwardly with 

 grayish ; subterminal line irregularly dentate, preceded, especially towards anal 

 angle, by black arrow-like dashes ; terminal space lighter than remainder of 

 wing, shaded with gray and olivaceous and terminated by a row of black 

 dashes ; fringes basally dark gray, outer portion somewhat lighter. Secondaries 

 dark smoky gray, lighter towards base, with slightly dentate median line and 

 small discal spot ; along outer margin to anal angle a terminal row of dark 

 dashes ; fringes smoky. Beneath, primaries smoky, sprinkled on costa and 

 outer margin with ochreous, with dark median band, slightly angled at costa.
