the angle being filled with ochreous scaling ; secondaries as above, but con- 

 siderably lighter, especially at base. 

 Expanse, 25 mm. 



This species shows considerable affinity to Ccrina marina Sni. 

 and Hadcna Smaragdina Neum., lacks however the green markings, 

 and possesses in the male bipectinate antennae. The above descrip- 

 tion is from a strongly marked specimen ; in other specimens before 

 us the maculation is much more indistinct and the primaries present 

 a general dark suffused appearance; the white reniform is however 

 always prominent. 



Habitat. — San Diego, Calif. (Oct. 8-15). 6 males, i female. 

 Types, Coll. Barnes. 



13. Oxycnemis grandimacula, new species. 



Male. — Palpi, collar, thorax and patagia gray sprinkled with black ; front 

 ochreous ; collar crossed by a faint transverse black band ; primaries dark 

 smoky gray, sprinkled with lighter ; a short black dash extends from base along 

 radius ; t.a. line single, black, slightly outcurved ; t.p. line black, faint, espe- 

 cially in costal portion, gently curved around reniform, lower portion towards 

 inner margin shaded prominently with white on exterior side ; all spots very 

 prominent; orbicular oval, filled with light ochreous and defined in black; 

 reniform slightly larger, similar in color, open towards costa ; from lower 

 exterior portion a black dash extends to outer margin ; a similar black dash, 

 parallel to the first, crosses t.p. line at the upper extremity of white shade, 

 following the course of vein Cu, : from the point of intersection a black dash 

 extends backward to upper portion of claviform ; this spot is very large, rest- 

 ing basally on t.a. line, and outlined in black, the lower boundary line extend- 

 ing back to base of wing ; the whole space to the base is filled with ochreous 

 scales ; extremities of veins marked with black ; terminal row of black dots. 

 Secondaries white, marked with gray on costa and at extremities of veins. 

 Beneath whitish, sprinkled with gray on costa, apex, inner margin of primaries, 

 and slightly so on costa of secondaries. 



Expanse, 28 mm. 



This species is related to sitbsimplcx Dyar, lacks however the 

 white apical dash and presents numerous other points of difference 

 in maculation. The structure is essentially that of Oxycnemis, 



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



14. Viridemas minuta, new species. 



Male. — Palpi minute, eyes very large, round, naked, front smooth, an- 

 tennae fasciculate. Collar and thorax whitish, shaded with brown, patagia 

 slightly yellowish ; posterior thoracic tuft largely brown. Primaries, basal por-
