Primaries with all the markings fragmentary. The extreme base of the wing is whit- 

 ish to the black basal line. T. a. line obscurely geminate, the inner part very feebly 

 marked. The outer portion of the line black, oblique to the submedian vein then 

 with an abrupt outcurve. The basal space is black marked on the costa, then there is 

 a whitish shade to the median vein ; below this is an ocher yellow shade to the sub- 

 median vein which is black marked ; below this point it is gray, shading outwardly to 

 ocherous. T. p. line geminate, the outer portion obscure, except on the costa, inner 

 line narrow, black, denticulate on the veins ; as a whole with a moderate outcurve 

 over the reniforn and an almost equal incurve below. White scales follow the outer 

 points of the line and the veins through the s. t. space are more or less white pow- 

 dered. The median shade is broad, black and irregular, rather the best defined 

 marking of the wing. The median space is yellowish through the center, grayish 

 through the cell and white marked along the costa. The s. t. line is broken, ir- 

 regular and marked principally by preceding or following dark shades. The most 

 prominent black shading is on the costa. Another is about the middle of the s. t. 

 space, but is strongly gray powdered. Another shade is on the internal margin and 

 this is also powdered with gray. As a whole the s. t. space may be said to be ocher 

 yellow, palest on the costa and mottled with gray and black scales. The terminal 

 space is mostly gray, with black shadings in the interspaces. There is a broken 

 black terminal line, the fringes are long, yelloM'ish, cut with smoky on the interspaces. 

 The claviform is indefined, ocher yellow. The orbicular is almost round, just a little 

 elongate, whitish, with a few gray central scales. The reniform is a broad lunule out- 

 lined by blackish scales, yellow, with a smoky center. Secondaries black at base and 

 outwardly, with a pale straw yellow, central band in which the veins are black 

 marked, and there is a black discal lunule. The fringes are white. Beneath creamy 

 white ; both wings with broad black outer margins. Primaries with a black discal 

 spot and the indications of a median band on the costa. The secondaries have the 

 median band fully developed There is a discal spot, and beyond it indications 

 of an extra median band, which is marked only on the veins. Expanse, 1. 36 

 inches = 34 mm. 



Habitat: Yosemite Valley, California. 



A single specimen was received from Dr. H. G. Dyar, and is 

 numbered 9615. It is a difficult creature to describe owing to the 

 peculiar mottlings. The most prominent feature of the forewing is 

 the black median shade and beyond this the blackish shading in the 

 s. t. space which, however, is broken. It is quite probable that in 

 other specimens the mottling may be somewhat differently distributed. 

 The species belongs with fasciata and pudorata in which the seconda- 

 ries are similar ; but in the mottled primaries it is unique. 



Oncocnemis pohono, sp. nov. 



Ground color a dark smoky fuscous. Head and thorax without defined mark- 

 ings ; but powdered by a few white scales. Primaries very even in color with the 

 maculation very simply written. Basal line geminate, black. The included space 

 with a very few white scales. T. a. line l)lack, single, preceded by a few white
