was at, once appai-eiit, and on a subsequent occasion I was fortunately 

 able to find the; lai'va; of a later brood feeding on Atriplcx kalimus, 

 and to rear a few specimens of this beautiful little si)ecies. 



152S : 1. — AUCUIPS OllANADANUS, Sp. 11. 

 AntenncE sparsely biciliate (1) ; pale fuscous. Falpi, Head and Thorax 

 brownish oclireous, the head slightly paler posteriorly. Fore-wings, S brownish 

 ochreous, with a slight pale reddish fawn-brown suffusion, becoming more intense 

 on the outer third ; a weak costal fold extends from the base to a bluish black 

 cuneiforu) costal spot about the middle, somewhat obliquely placed and pointing 

 outward, half-way between this and the apex is a faint lunate i-eddish brown costal 

 patch ; opposite to this, before the tornus, is a small spot of the same colour ; the 

 basal third of the terminal cilia greyish fuscous, fading towai-ds the tornus, the 

 outer two-thirds of the cilia, clean yellowish white, tinged with ochreous about the 

 tornus : ? without markings, uniformly brownish fawn-ochreous, the dark line 

 along the base of the white terminal cilia being as conspicuous as in the ^ . J£xp. 

 al. (J 16 — ? 20 mm. Hind-ivings pale rosy brownish; cilia whitish, somewhat 

 suffused with brownish, except towards the apex, a pale brownish shade running 

 along their basal third throughout. Abdomen and Legs brownish, rather shining.

Hah. : SPAIN— Gkanada— Sierra Nevada, 400U— 5U0U ft., 3. 

 VI.1901 ; Granada, 17.VI.1901. Two specimens. 



The (^ was beaten from a species of Berberis on the Sierra Ne- 

 vada, at between 4000 and 5000 ft., the ? occurred also on high 

 ground near Granada, but I do not remember to have observed any 

 Berberis where this specimen was taken. Like its near ally, imifasci- 

 anus, Dp., from which it is distinguished by its white cilia with strong 

 basal line, it is probably polyphagouss. 



1647 : 1. — LOXOPEKA KUBIUINANA, SjJ. U. 

 Antennce pale ochreous. Palpi and Head brownish ochreous. Thorax bright 

 rust-brown. Fore-wings shining silvery white on the apical third, densely suffused 

 with brilliant rust-brown on the basal two-thirds; this suffusion extends farther 

 along the dorsum than along the costa, almost obliterating two oblique dorsal 

 streaks of an even more intense colour, the inner one arising at one-third from the 

 base and tending obliquely outward to the upper edge of the cell before the middle 

 of the wing ; the second arising before the tornus, narrower and slightly more 

 oblique but much shorter ; the outer edge of the rusty suffusion is not clearly 

 defined, some few scales of the same colour being visible on the white space beyond 

 it; cilia yellowish-white. Exp. al., 1-i — 15 mm. Hind-wings pale grey; cilia 

 white. Abdomen darker grey ; anal tuft whitish cinereous. Legs whitish cinereous.
