82 INSECUTOR INSCITI^ MENSTRUUS 



•I 



Type, male, No. 21172, U. S. Nat. Mus. ; Esperanza Ranch, 

 Brownsville, Texas (J. Doll). 



Sent to Prof. C. H. Femald and labeled by him : "Schoeno- 

 bius sordidellus Zinck?" It is, however, much smaller than 

 sordidellus and of a different wing-shape. 



Professor Fernald's determinations, with marks of doubt 

 attached, show that he recognized these forms as different, 

 but preferred to associate them with an allied species rather 

 than return them to the museum labeled "new" on his au- 

 thority. 



Patissa parthenialis, new species. 



Fore wing silvery white, crossed by yellow bands with pow- 

 dery brown edges ; an oblique streak at base, not attaining 

 costa ; an oblique band of three patches, cut by vein 1 and 

 median vein, the uppermost patch in the cell; a less oblique 

 band in middle of wing, ending in a blotch at end of cell; an 

 outer band and a submarginal band, broad, parallel to outer 

 margin. Hind wing white with three powdery blackish streaks 

 crossing submedian fold. Expanse, 14 mm. 



Type, female, No. 21173, U. S. Nat. Mus. ; Vernon Parish, 

 Louisiana, July (G. Coverdale, through W. D. Kearfott). 



Patissa chrysozona, new species. 



Fore wing silvery white, marked as in the preceding species 

 except that the basal bands are more oblique, the two mar- 

 ginal bands well separated from them and leaving a broad 

 white median space, which, on the inner margin, occupies one- 

 third of the margin. The middle band, ending in the discal 

 spot, runs obliquely as to the outer bands, while in parthenialis 

 it is nearly parallel to them. 



Type, female. No. 21174, U. S. Nat. Mus.; Texas (Coll 

 C. V. Riley). 



Alpheias transferens, new species. 



Dark gray; a white streak obliquely from the discal dot to 

 the costa ; basal space brownish ; inner line distinct, white, 

 angled on submedian fold and median vein, oblique inwardly 

 to costa; outer line faint, whitish, angled inward on discal
