above clypeus. Ground color of body and wings cream white, heavily flecked 

 with grayish ochre scales, the subterminal space often so thickly covered as 

 to quite obscure the ground color. Veins more faintly outlined with ochre 

 than in other species. Cross lines as in others of the group, but grayish, and 

 the broad outer band if present is poorly defined or quite obliterated by the 

 heavy gray scaling. Costa at base and at inception of cross lines marked with 

 dark brown spots and dashes, the large spot at wing center is of the same 

 color, rather clearly defined and the cross lines at veins are dotted. Marginal 

 line within excavation heavy, dark brown, the fringe paler brown, with a 

 purplish tinge, lighter at base. Elsewhere the marginal line is indistinct or 

 much broken and the fringe ochreous gray. Discal marks on primaries very 

 faint, linear, on secondaries a small round dark brown dot. Beneath, the 

 cross lines are reproduced as above, rather heavy but the flecks of grayish 

 scales are dense only near base of wings and subcostally leaving the ground 

 color of other parts much clearer than above. The subterminal broad band 

 is rusty ochre and much broken, including at wing centers of both primaries 

 and secondaries diffuse brownish spots between veins at M3. Marginal line 

 and fringes as above. Discal marks more clearly defined. Body beneath and 

 legs sprinkled with brown scales and the abdomen marked dorsally with a 

 double row of six or seven spots in the female, on the first and second seg- 

 ments only in the male. 



Types. — One d' and one $ from Prescott, Arizona (Dr. Kunze), 

 August 1 6, 1909, and August 22, 1909, respectively. 



Habitat. — My material is limited to Arizona, but I am quite certain 

 I have seen specimens from Texas that are the same. 



Co-types are two males, Palmerlee, Cochise Co., Ariz., in August, 

 1905, one female, Douglas, Ariz., August 2^, 1908, and one female, 

 Prescott, Ariz., August 14, 1909. 



In preparing mounts of the genitalia here depicted, I found it quite 

 impossible to avoid a measure of distortion to some of the parts, when 

 pressure of the glass cover was applied. I therefore prepared a 

 second series, and with their aid corrected my drawings, so that they 

 are as nearly counterparts as I could make them, being careful not to 

 exaggerate the points of specific difference when noted. To the 

 Rev. C. R. N. Burrows, of Essex, Eng., I am indebted for drawings 

 of the genitalia of notata, alternata and lituraia, all of England, as 

 well as some appendages of the imagoes that were essential for 

 comparison.
