has the antcniue of the male pectinated instead of serrated and 

 bristled. It is the species described and figured by Hanipson as 

 tcrtia Dyar : Init is not the species described by Dyar under that 

 name. Dyar's first note on the species is in his catalogue (1902) in 

 which he says, following the name, " markings of angulata, antennae 

 of fulminans." California and Oregon are given as localities. The 

 descriptive words would fit the species just characterized here, most 

 excellently well, and probably Hampson depended upon them in his 

 identification of the species. Rut in the Prcc. Ent. Sec. Wash., V, 

 294 (1903), Dyar gives a further description of the species, basing 

 it on three examples, two of them from Portland. Oregon, under 

 date of April 23 and May 11. Two characteristic features are the 

 definite statement that the ordinary spots are blackish filled, and the 

 absence of all reference to a median line. The expanse is given as 

 T,"/ mm. 



I have two examples from Corvallis. Oregon, both taktn in April 

 — one of them April 22. and complying in every respect with Dyar's 

 description. They are labelled tcrtia Dyar. apparently after com- 

 parison made, but there is no statement to that effect on the label. 



Hampson in Vol. V of his Catalogue, p. 435, describes tcrtia Dyar, 

 from one Californian and two Arizona examples, no definite locality 

 being given in either instance. Portland, Oregon, is also cited, evi- 

 dently from Dyar, but the description accords in no way with that 

 given by the latter author. The angulated median shade is specifi- 

 cally mentioned and the ordinary spots are said to be ill defined and 

 the reniform merely darkened inferiorly. The expanse is given as 

 44 mm., as against 37 nun. The figure 30. en i)late XC, is from an 

 Arizona specimen and represents perfectly the little series of six 

 examples now before me. Dr. Dyar's species as based on the Oregon 

 examples and his description, is a perfectlv good one and entirelv dis- 

 tinct from the species characterized under the same name by Hamp- 

 son, which I have just described as cidaiia. P. punctilinca Sm., from 

 the same general region, has the primaries nuich less angulated and 

 has dusky secondaries, resembling the .species of Strctchia more 

 closely. 



Perigonica fermata, new species. 



Ground color pale luteous, with a more or less obvious reddish tinge and. 

 in some specimens, a scant powdering of fine black atoms. Head inferiorly
