abdomen and ground color of wings pale to dark testaceous, the lighter color 

 prevailing chiefly in the female. Primaries crossed by three equidistant deep 

 testaceous or slightly brownish lines, the first two of which, through a height- 

 ening in tint of the ground color, may be partly lost to view. The intradiscal 

 line crosses the wing one third out from the base, is bent in on both margins, and 

 angled inwardly on the cubital vein ; it is sometimes slightly diftuse, especially 

 on the costa. The median line, sometimes reduced to a shade, passes through 

 the center outward of the discal spot which is small, rounded and distinctly 

 white. The extradiscal line is markedly denticulate and follows in general the 

 outer margin of the wing; it is usually strongly emphasized on the veins, and 

 rarely the conecting lines are obsolete so that the line is reduced to an irregular 

 row of spots. Terminal line distinct, broken at the veins. Fringes concolorous 

 with ground color. Secondaries like the primaries but with intradiscal line 

 missing and with median line usually obscure, though occasionally quite dis- 

 tinct ; the extradiscal line corresponds to, and is exactly like, that of the fore- 

 wings. Beneath, all wings pale testaceous with the costa of primaries and 

 extradiscal lines, particularly the venular spots, brownish. 



Described from ten males and four females received from Dr. 

 Barnes, several cotypes of which are deposited in the American- 

 Museum of Natural History. 



Habitat. — Redington ; Christmas, Gila Co.; Baboquivera Mts.,. 

 Pima Co., August; Santa Catalina Mts., Pinal Co., August 1-7 — all 

 in Arizona. 



A species quite different from anything I know, with the mottled 

 appearance of Lcptomcris plantagcnaria Hulst and color of Cosymbia 

 myrtaria Gn. 



Deilinea lenitaria, new species. 



Male. — -Expense, 32-36 mm. Palpi and front brown, vertex with mixed 

 brown and white scales giving a whitish gray color. Thorax grayish with a 

 reddish or purplish tinge. Abdomen silky yellowish. Ground color of primaries 

 soft purplish-brown more or less irrorate with black atoms; margin testaceous. 

 Intradiscal line one third out, blackish, broad, diffuse, obtusely angled at veins. 

 Extradiscal line two thirds out, concolorous, rather broad, usually defined, 

 bisinuous. A broad, diffuse median shade passes between these two lines which 

 occasionally may join with them, the whole then forming a single broad band 

 bounded by the intra- and extradiscal lines. A more or less developed sub- 

 marginal line of black spots, the individual spots occasionally marked outwardly 

 by a whitish dash, passes through the middle of the outer space. Discal spot 

 black, moderate in size, conspicuous. In one specimen the cross lines and 

 median shade are almost obsolete and the irrorations over the wing are very 

 profuse. Secondaries pale yellowish becoming faintly purplish toward outer 

 and inner margins ; blackish irrorations are present, especially outwardly. An
