of primaries. Outer line fine, sinuous, following in general the outer margin 

 but extending well in toward the center of the costal and inner margins. 

 There are spots outward to this line as on primaries and similarly disposed, 

 except that the one in the anal angle is further removed along the inner 

 margin. In addition there is also a diffuse white patch outward of the line 

 on the costa. Beneath, both wings even pale green, all the markings of the 

 upper side reflected in white. 



Type. — Two males from Dr. Barnes. 



Habitat. — South Arizona, May 1-15 and Santa Catalina Mts., 

 Pinal Co., Arizona. 



This species is in appearance much like Racheospila nivcociliaria 

 H. S. (= saltusaria Hulst). 



7. Aplodes splendidaria, new species. 



Expanse, 31 mm. Palpi and front pink, vertex white anteriorly, green 

 posteriorly ; thorax and abdomen green, the latter apparently without dorsal 

 spots, though being partly discolored by grease this cannot be said with cer- 

 tainty. Primaries apple-green, costa rather broadly edged with deep flesh- 

 color, outer edge deep red, narrowly interrupted at the veins with whitish, 

 inner half of fringe white, outer half pink. Two rather broad and well 

 defined white lines cross the wing. The first begins outward of the middle on 

 vein Ml and runs with an outward curve inwardly obliquely to inner margin, 

 thence following the inner margin to base of wing. The second begins on R5 

 between the origin of the first line and the apex of the wing and extends in 

 an almost straight line to inner margin ending less than one-third in from 

 the anal angle. No discal dot. Secondaries lighter green than primaries, the 

 costal area and the veins whitish. Outer edge and fringe as in primaries. 

 Two whitish lines cross the wing ; the first on inner third outwardly angled 

 in the cell and again between the cubital and anal veins ; the second on outer 

 third, strongly curved outwardly to below Cuj then bent inward to inner 

 margin. Beneath smooth green, the inner area of primaries whitish, flesh- 

 colored costa, red outer margins repeated, the cross lines also showing but 

 more feebly. 



Type. — One male in Dr. Barnes' collection. 



Habitat. — Palmerlee, Arizona. 



This species with its bright green color, contrasting white mark- 

 ings and dark red borders is the most beautiful of the genus. It is 

 most nearly allied to obliqua Hulst, but the inner line is inwardly 

 instead of outwardly oblique as in Hulst's species. 



8. Aplodes strigataria, new species. 



Expanse, (^ 28 mm., J 32-35 mm. Palpi white, upper surface with scat- 

 tered red scales, terminal joint entirely red; front red; vertex white. Thorax 

 and abdomen uniformly pale green, or, the latter with the segments edged
