slightly tipped with white. Ground color of fore wings whitish but so strong!}' over- 

 laid with dark fuscous and ochreous scales as to produce a marbled effect ; at basal 

 third is a dark fuscous broad irregular transverse fascia, outwardly angulated on the 

 middle and edged with black scales ; the basal space inside this fascia is strongly 

 overlaid with dark fuscous ; following the fascia is a central whitish space relieved 

 by thin undulating transverse dark fuscous lines. Just before tornus is a large dark 

 ochreous fuscous, black-edged dorsal spot, rounded towards the base of the wing 

 and with the protruding outer corner pointed towards apex ; above this spot is a 

 nearly semicircular spot of the same color and also black-edged. The apical third of 

 the wing is covered with grayish ochreous scales, tipped with white, and contains a 

 poorly defined ocelloid spot, consisting of two silvery white patches, the outer one of 

 which is preceded by a short black dash. Costal edge has the short fold at base 

 dark fuscous and has five pairs of short oblique white dashes on its outer half. Apex 

 brown, cilia white, sprinkled with fuscous. Hind wings dark ochreous fuscous with 

 the edge darker and with a dark fuscous line on the base of the whitish cilia. Alar 

 expanse : 19-22 mm. 



Habitat. — West Riverside, California, October, November. 



Type. — cJ^, U. S. Nat. Mus., No. 10317. Wing-slide, in Lord 

 Walsingham>s collection. 



This ann the following species are those referred to by the writer 

 at the meeting of the Entomological Society of Washington, October, 

 1906. 



They differ from Lord Walsingham's description of the genus 

 only in having veins 6 and 7 of the hind wings truly stalked instead 

 of "nearly coincident along their base," diverging at about one third 

 their " length." 



If I am right in placing these species in Hendecaneura I should 

 e.xpect that the other species of the genus will be found to have these 

 veins truly stalked, and should rely on this quite uncommon character 

 within the subfamily in the definition of the genus rather than on the 

 sexual dimorphism in the venation of the forewing ; but as I am at 

 present only acquainted with the genus through Lord Walsingham's de- 

 scription and as some deviations from this are apparent, the generic de 

 termination of this and the following should be taken as tentative only. 



Hendecaneura (?) filiana, new species. 



Labial palpi dark ochreous, terminal joint brown. Face and head unicolored, 

 dull ochreous ; thorax ochreous. Fore wing light ochreous with an ill-defined slightly 

 darker ochreous basal patch covering the basal third ; the acutely angulated outer 

 edge of this patch protrudes into the middle of the wing. Costal fold dark fuscous. 

 At the end of the cell is an indistinct darker ochreous spot and below it is a similarly 

 colored ill-defined dorsal patch ; these and other markings on the apical part of the 

 wing are very indistinct, but produce the same general pattern as in the foregoing
