shining silvery white, translucent ; beneath, colors above reproduced, but not so

Eromene virescens, sp. nov. 



Labial palpi, white, somewhat greenish brown on sides ; maxillary palpi prom- 

 inent, pure white ; front white ; thorax dull white ; abdomen whitish, ochre tinted 

 above ; fore wing mouse color, washed with dull green, costa slightly grayish ; abroad 

 white stripe at middle of wing reaching from base to above middle of outer border, 

 slightly concave above ; inner margin also with a broad white stripe reaching quite a 

 little up the outer edge ; a rather faint blackish marginal line ; fringes long, slightly 

 more gray than wing; hind wings rounded at anal angle, somewhat sinuous on outer 

 edge, whitish with a fuscous stain, becoming dark fuscous outwardly, this more broad 

 and prominent at anterior angle. Expands 17 mm. 



Arizona. The National Museum type number is 51S6. 



The insect is not exactly congeneric with Eromene ; the labial palpi 

 are very much shorter, the wing is of a different shape, and the mark- 

 ings are of a very different type — in this latter respect unique among 

 American Pxralidhia.
