and that I have examples of both forms labelled Colorado Springs, 

 which is practically the same. I have the two series separated in 

 my collection, but doubt whether there are really two species. 



Polia rcsoluta Smith, on the other hand, is altogether different 

 from either of the preceding. The female type is before me and has 

 a pure white ground and white secondaries, besides differing in other 

 details. It is paler than the male type, but I have another female 

 that matches the male more nearly in that respect. It differs from 

 both Ulcpida and divcrsUincata far more than these differ from each 

 other, and I feel sure that Sir George could not have seen my species 

 at all. 



I have another series of five clean and definitely marked examples 

 from Utah, which stand out at once and are surely undescribed. 



Andropolia submissa, new species. 



(]round color of head, thorax and abdomen white, more or less closely 

 black powdered, so that it may at first impress one as light blue gray. Head 

 with a black frontal line. Collar w-ith a variably marked dusky shading, 

 which may be entirely absent Ijeiow tip. Patagia sometimes with a fairly 

 marked submarginal dark border, more often without obvious maculation. 

 Primaries neatly marked, very like illepida on the whole, but varying in the 

 relative distinctness of the individual features. In all cases the single black 

 or blackish median lines are present ; t.a. with a slight and rather even out- 

 curve to vein i. below which it cur\es out rather abruptly: the t.p. bent 

 aljruptly outward below costa and then very evenly, almost parallel with the 

 outer margin to the inner border. The s.t. line is very irregular, forms two 

 long black teeth on veins 3 and 4, reaching the outer margin at that point, and 

 above and below this so shaded as to form two triangular black patches which 

 vary much in distinctness. Quite usually a black streak from the lower dark 

 patch extends inward across the t.p. line and well into the median space 

 below vein 2. A median shade starts obliquely outward from a well-defined 

 black or blackish costal patch to the lower angle of the reniform ; then 

 becomes less distinct and runs parallel with and close to the t.p. line. The 

 basal line is fragmentary, but marked in all cases, tending to become geminate, 

 and in the best marked individual there is a slender black line from base to 

 t.a. line, at the point where the small, loop-like claviform is attached. This 

 line and even the claviform may be altogether wanting. Orbicular concolorous, 

 irregularly ovate, oblique, moderate in size, incompletely outlined. Reniform 

 large, kidney-shaped, tinged with rusty brown, more or less invaded inferiorly 

 by the median shade, outlined by darker scales and a somewhat broader pale 

 annulus within them. A series of black terminal lunules. Secondaries 

 whitish to a rather faint extra-median line, beyond which they are blackish 

 gray, darkening to the while fringes. Beneath, whitish with scanty black
