abdomen whitish-green, without markings. Primaries pea-green with numerous 

 fine, whitish transverse mottlings, costa narrowly white on outer three-fourths, 

 fringe edged with white. Two narrow, white lines cross the wings. The 

 first beginning on the radial vein, inward of the middle, extends outwardly 

 curved and slightly irregular to inner margin ending less than one-fourth 

 out from the base of the wing. The second begins on the costa one-fifth in 

 from the apex and extends slightly outwardly curved and with scarcely 

 perceptible teeth on the veins in the lower part of the wing to a point just 

 outward of the middle on the inner margin. Secondaries pale green becoming 

 darker green toward inner margin. An outwardly curved white line on inner 

 fourth. A denticulate white line midway between the first line and the outer 

 margin. This line to Cu™ runs much like the first but less strongly curved, 

 then turns outward to inner margin. Both the lines are twice as broad as 

 those oh the primaries. Beneath, rather even pale green, darkest on costal 

 and apical areas of primaries, the outer line of both wings reflected. 



Type.— Oiie female in Dr. Barnes' collection. 



Habitat. — Redington, Arizona. 



Allied to Aniiciiioria bistriaria Pack., from which it differs by the 

 much narrower lines on the primaries, the presence of an inner line 

 on the secondaries and by the outer line on these latter wings being 

 strongly denticulate. 



The antenn?e of the present species differ from those of the female 

 of bistriaria in being shortly pectinated at the basal two-thirds instead 

 of dentate. 



6. Synchlora lesteraria, new species. 



Expanse, 19-23 mm. Front green, vertex white; thorax green, whitish 

 centrally and with a white collar ; abdomen whitish with pale brown dorsal 

 tufts on four or five of the anterior segments. Wings even pale apple-green. 

 Primaries with an outwardly oblique broken white line crossing the wing 

 about one-fourth out from base ; this is vague or indicated by a spot near 

 costa, but becomes broader and more continuous toward inner margin and 

 tends to broaden still more at the anal vein. Inwardly of this line, below 

 cubitus, is a small, irregular, cream colored patch with a few brown scales 

 upon it, and below the anal vein is a much larger similar spot which fills the 

 space from the line half way to the base of the wing. An outer white line 

 on about outer fourth of wing shows as an outwardly curved, narrow crescent 

 between Mj and M3, followed by a rather large cream colored spot with 

 brown scales, and from Cuj to inner margin as an inwardly curved line, some- 

 what toothed on the veins and in the interspaces. In the anal angle to this 

 line is a large cream colored spot with scattered brown scales which collect, 

 more densely near the outer edge of the patch, into a short zigzag line. 

 Discal spot absent. Fringe white. Secondaries with basal portion of wing 

 wholly white, the outer margin oblique and nearly continuous with inner line
