ochreous. somewhat irrorate with brown in median and subterminal areas ; 

 dark patch on costa at base ; t.a. line dark brown, rather indistinct, arising 

 from a dark spot on costa, irregularly dentate, outwardly oblique, bordered 

 inwardly with orange, and preceded by some slight dark scaling ; orbicular and 

 reniform broadly outlined in orange with a dark center and outer margin ; latter 

 spot often indistinct with large triangular smoky spot directly above it on costa, 

 and dark shading below extending to inner margin ; t.p. line dark brown, finely 

 dentate, indistinct in costal portion, slightly incurved on submedian fold, 

 shaded outwardly with orange ; costal margin beyond triangular spot smoky with 

 several yellowish dots ; subterminal area shaded with dark ; faint broken black 

 terminal line preceded by slight orange scaling ; fringes dusky, lighter in outer 

 half with minute ochreous basal dots opposite the veins. Secondaries smoky 

 brown with indistinct discal spot and median line, fringes lighter, with ochreous 

 basal dots. Beneath, primaries smoky brow-n with lighter shading in costal 

 portion and several ochreous dots on costa near apex ; fringes as above ; secon- 

 daries light ochreous, heavily sprinkled with dark scaling, and with prominent 

 discal lunule and median band ; fringes pale ochreous. Expanse, 19 mm. 



Habitat. — San Diego, Calif. 6 c^d". Type, Coll. Barnes. 

 The pale ground ec/lor, with dark costal i)atches, and orange shad- 

 ing to macnlation should readily distinguish this species. 



Cerma oaklandise, new species. 



Male. — Palpi upturned, whitish, shaded with black outwardly on second 

 joint; antennae ciliate ; front smooth, light gray; vertex of head and thorax 

 scaled with gray, black and olivaceous ; abdomen gray ; primaries gray, heavily 

 and evenly irrorate with blackish and olivaceous scaling, with indistinct macu- 

 lation and no contrasting portions of wing ; a dark basal line in costal portion 

 of wing ; t.a. line dark, inwardly oblique to cubitus, sharply angled just below 

 this vein, thence outwardly inclined to just before inner margin where it again 

 forms a slight angle ; area between it and basal line but very slightly lighter 

 than remainder of wing; orbicular and reniform indistinct, whitish with darker 

 centers, the former circular, the latter not well defined towards costa ; beneath 

 orbicular traces of a dark angular mark ; t.p. line irregularly dentate, well 

 curved around reniform, from thence to inner margin practically parallel to 

 outer margin, bordered outwardly very slightly with white : subterminal area 

 with a few dark shades below apex and a broken dark terminal line ; fringes 

 checkered, with dark median liand ; secondaries smoky, lighter towards base 

 with prominent oval discal .spot. Beneath smoky ; primaries with t.p. line 

 slightly defined in blackish and proceeding from a black spot on costa ; fringes 

 gray, checkered with black ; secondaries lighter than above with dark discal dot 

 and dentate median line ; fringes unicolorous gray ; black broken terminal line 

 to both wings. Expanse, 23.5 mm.
