INSECUTOR INSCITI^ MENSTRUUS 83 



fold; margin lighter; a row of terminal black dots. Hind wing 

 gray, whitish on inner field. Expanse, 15 mm. 



Type, male. No. 21175, U. S. Nat. Mus. ; Claremont, Cali- 

 fornia (C. F. Baker). 



Alpheias nigrocinereella Hulst. 



While the female type has vein 7 arising after 9 and there- 

 fore falls in Macrotheca, a male from the same breeding has 

 7 arising before 9. Moreover, specimens from Stockton, Utah, 

 and Reno, Nevada, have 7 before 9, so that I think the vari- 

 ation of the type is abnormal and that the species should fall 

 in Alpheias. 



Macrotheca leucocope, new species. 



Pale gray, powdery on a nearly white ground, the veins 

 darker toward base ; a white ray along median vein, widening 

 to end of cell, where it terminates; a terminal dark line, 

 hardly broken. Hind wing dark gray, fringe pale. Expanse, 

 19 mm. 



Type, male. No. 21176, U. S. Nat. Mus. ; Denver, Colorado 

 (W. Schaus). 



Labeled by Mr. Schaus : "Macrotheca interalbicans ;" but it 

 does not agree at all with Ragonot's figure of M. interalbicalis. 



Macrotheca vulnifera, new species. 



Whitish gray, coarsely powdered with black; basal space 

 darker; an oblique black shade from apex, which the outer 

 line crosses, narrow, black, edged with whitish without, gently 

 excurved below; discal dot elongate, elliptical, longitudinal; a 

 terminal crenulate black line. Hind wing soiled silky whitish, 

 gray along costa. Expanse, 15 mm. 



Type, male, No. 21177, U, S. Nat. Mus. ; Yavapai County, 

 Arizona, August (W. D. Kearfott), 



This is what Barnes & McDunnough figure as M. interalbi- 

 calis Rag. (Cont. Nat. Hist. Lep. N. A., I, No. V, PI. HI, 

 ff. 9 and 12, 1912) ; but I am unable to reconcile it with Rag- 

 onot's figure.
