Epizeuxis parvulalis, nev/ species. 



Thorax and primaries pale smoky, latter shiny, crossed by two pale in- 

 distinct dentate bands, one near base of wing, the other through center ; 

 secondaries whitish, immaculate. Beneath whitish shaded with fuscous 

 towards apex of primaries. 



Expanse i8 mm. 



Habitat. — Santa Catalina Mts., Ariz, i d". Type Coll. Rarncs. 

 Belongs in the lubricalis group, but can rcadilv be separated by its 

 small size. 



Family GEOMETRID^. 



Hydriomene mediodentata, new species. 



Female. — Primaries dark steel gray with no traces of maculation : a 

 distinct scale-tooth about center of inner margin. Secondaries white, rather 

 hyaline, slightly smoky outwardly, apex color of primaries. Beneath glossy 

 white, primaries shaded with fuscous. 



Expanse 26 mm. 



Habitat. — Palmerlee, Ariz, i 2. Type Coll. Barnes. 



Mr. Grossbeck, who has seen the specimen, pronounces it to be 

 new. The prominent tooth on inner margin of primaries would easily 

 distinguish it from other members of the genus; the venation appears 

 to be typically Hydriomenid. 



Family XOTODONTID.^i. 



URSIA, new genus. (Type noctuifonnis sp. no\ . ) 

 Palpi minute, proboscis lacking ; head with prominent crest above eyes ; 

 thorax slightly crested ; antennae in male with long pectinations, except at 

 extreme tip which is naked ; mid and hind tibiae with single pair of apical 

 spurs ; primaries narrow, elongate, costal margin straight, outer margin 

 slightly convex ; vein Rj from about center of cell ; R2-R5 stalked from apex 

 of small areola, Ro from before R-, R3 and R, on long stalk, latter to apex of 

 wing: R5 to well below apex; M, from areole just below origin of radial 

 branches ; Al, from center of discocellular, extending very faintly for a short 

 distance into cell ; M3 and Cuj separate from around lower angle of cell : Cuo 

 .opposite Rj. Secondaries elongate, with frenulum, vein S-C approaching cell 

 towards its center, but well separated at base ; R and M, stalked from upper 

 angle of cell ; M, very faint but developed outwardly ; M.-, and Cu, separate 

 from around lower angle of cell, Cu, from beyond center of cell. 



U. noctuiformis, new species. 



Head and thorax gray, composed of mixed brown and white hair-like 

 scales, vestiture rough ; primaries strigate in appearance, dark gray, shaded 

 with whitish ; beyond the cell, extending from vein M3 to below Cuo is a
