and more defined cross-lines and the salmon-colored hind wings. It 

 soon loses the greater part of the delicate green tint of the fore 

 wings when placed in the light or in a relaxing box for even a short 

 time. 



I place this species provisionally in Hydriomena, where so many 

 odd species belonging to the Cidaria group are mingled. Its im- 

 mediate ally, magnoliata, has recently been rejected from the genus 

 Cceno'caipe by Pearsall (Can. Ent., XLI, 366) to which, with aurata 

 and oxygramtna, it was long known to be a dissonant associate ; but 

 he has not provided another genus for its reception. 



4. Stamnodes albiapicata, new species. 



Expanse, 26-28 mm. Head and palpi brown with some light colored scales 

 intermixed ; thorax brown ; abdomen yellowish, first segment and part of the 

 apical segments brownish. Wings above pale smoky, the costal area dark 

 brown interrupted with four white patches ; the first square, rather small, 

 situated one-fifth out from base ; the second over one-third out, similar in 

 shape to the first but larger, and tending to widen posteriorly ; the third 

 rectangular and occupying the space from the center of the wing to a point 

 almost two-thirds out on costa ; the fourth narrow, beginning less than one- 

 third in from the apex and extending obliquely inward to vein Mj. Apex 

 slightly paler than the rest of the wing and with a faint reddish tinge. 

 Fringes white, marked with brown at ends of veins. Beneath, primaries as 

 above but with the brown extending further in toward middle and somewhat 

 broken up by whitish mottlings, more or less profuse. The white costal 

 markings are obscured or entirely lost as a result of this mottling except 

 the oblique line which stands out contrastingly. The apex to R3 is white, more 

 or less sprinkled over with brown scales. Secondaries mottled with light and 

 dark brown over a whitish background, the dark brown interruptedly marking 

 some of the veins and tending to form three large patches, one within the 

 discal cell, one nearer the outer margin between Mj and Mg, and another on 

 the inner margin near the anal angle. Just preceding these two latter spots 

 are indications of a curved whitish cross line, best marked on the costa and 

 inner margin. Apical area sometimes pure white. Discal spot elliptical, 

 white, conspicuous. 



Types. — Two males in Dr. Barnes' collection and in that of the 

 author. 



Habitat. — Redington, Arizona. 



Allied to Stamnodes gibbicostata Walk., but smaller, more frail and 

 narrower winged. 



5. Annemoria pectinaria, new species. 



Expanse, 26 mm. Palpi and front pink, vertex green ; thorax green ;
