head, front of thorax, base of abdomen, sides and tip of abdomen white, the rest 

 brown and blackish ; abdominal tufts dark brown. Expanse, 64 mm. 



One female, Mexico City, Mexico, June, 1907 (R. Miiller, No. 

 1034). 



Type. — No. 10456, U. S. National Museum. 



The specimen agrees almost exactly with Felder and Rogenhofer's 

 figure of Amphidasys cladonia (Plate CXXV, Fig. 13), the marginal 

 spottings being only somewhat more extensive. Were it not that the 

 locality for cladonia is given as " Silhet " I should think that the 

 species was before me. 



EUCYMATOGE RECTILINEATA, A NEW GEO- 

 METRID MOTH FROM COLORADO. 



By Geo. W. Taylor, 

 Wellington, B. C, Canada. 



This species belongs to the group containing in our fauna E. 

 intestinata, giUettei and vitalbata, and to which the generic name 

 Phihalaptoyx Stephens, used to be applied. It resembles vitalbata 

 more nearly than it does intestinata, but it is smaller, and the colors 

 are less sharply contrasting. It may be separated at once from any of 

 the three species mentioned by the straightness of the extra discal line. 



I have had a single specimen of this species in my cabinet without 

 name for a considerable time. The discovery of a second specimen, 

 exactly similar, in the collection of the U. S. National Museum, 

 determines me to describe the form as new. 



Eucymatoge rectilineata, new species. 



Expanse 25 mm. Prevailing color of wings, warm chocolate brown with the 

 costal and basal areas and the hinder portion of the submarginal band lighter as in E. 

 vitalbata. The hind wings are uniformly of this lighter color and not blackish in 

 the median band as in the last named species. The fore wings are crossed by 

 numerous lines as in the other species in the group, but in rectilineata the extra discal 

 line runs in an almost straight line from vein 3 to the center of the inner margin and 

 not in a series of scallops. The hind wings are clearer than in the other species, and 

 the lines are pale on a darker ground. 



Described from two specimens, one bearing label " Colorado, Las 

 Pinas, 30 May," is in my own collection 'and the second labelled 

 " Durango, Col., July 8-15," is in the U. S. National Museum and 

 bears their type No. 1037 1.
