yellow hair with the vestiture. All tlie markings more or less obvious. Basal line 

 distinct, single, blackish. T. a. line distinct, geminate, very irregular, as a whole 

 nearly upright. The outer part of the line black, the inner gray. The line is some- 

 what irregularly toothed to below the median vein and then makes a deep incurve on 

 the submedian vein. T. p. line lunulate, single, blackish, as a whole almost parallel 

 with the outer margin. There is a fairly well marked median .shade which is bent 

 over the reniform and from that point runs close to and parallel with the t. p. line. 

 Beyond this line the wing is smoother and more even in color ; but is broken by a 

 quadrate dusky patch on the costa, extending to the point usually occupied by the s. 

 t. line. At about the middle there is another almost quadrate dusky shade, extending 

 outwardly to about the same point, and on the inner margin there is a third smoky or 

 dusky shade, outwardly marking what would be the tennination of the s. t. line. A 

 series of dusky lunules' is at the base of the fringes and beyond them it is cut with dusky. 

 The orbicular is round or nearly so, small, yellowish. The reniform is vague, marked 

 by yellowish hair ; but inferiorly darkened by the angle of the median shade. Sec- 

 ondaries smoky, whitish toward the base, especially along the costal margin and with 

 a whitish shade beyond a dusky extra-median line. There is also a dusky discal 

 lunule. Perhaps it would be better to describe these wings as whitish with a broad 

 smoky outer band, a smoky extra-median line which sends in a somewhat dusky 

 shade to the base, and a smoky discal lunule. The fringes are whitish. Beneath 

 whitish powdery, with very distinct discal lunules on all wings, a dusky extra-median 

 shade which is quite sharply limited outwardly and a dusky terminal space, which is 

 particularly marked on the secondaries. On the primaries the fringes are distinctly 

 checkered with smoky yellowish. Expanse, 1. 20 inches =30 mm. 



Habitat: Park County, Colorado, 13,000 feet (Bruce). 



A single male specimen from the U. S. National Museum is the 

 type. The vestiture is hairy and the insect has the appearance of an 

 Anarta. Indeed it may be one of the species described in this genus, 

 and yet unknown to me ; but the eyes are round and the species can- 

 not therefore be properly placed in that genus. From the described 

 species of Scotogrannna this insect differs quite strongly by the mot- 

 tled colors. It should find a place nearest to my uniformis. 



Scotojframma sedilis, sp. nov. 



Ground color smoky gray, more or less powdery. Head smoky, the palpi a little 

 paler, collar tipped with blackish. The patagire with a black submargin and the basal 

 tuft also marked with blackish. Primaries with all the markings more or less ob- 

 scured by the powderings and incomplete. Basal line geminate, one part of the line 

 black, the other smoky, the intervening space a little whitish powdered. The basal 

 space is very broad, more even than the rest of the wing. T. a. line geminate, the 

 outer portion fairly evident, smoky, strongly bent outwardly ; the inner parts smoky 

 and sometimes not traceable. T. p. line geminate, lunulate, the inner line narrow, 

 blackish, the points on the veins being strongly marked : the outer line rather a shad- 

 ing which may be absent in some specimens, and with a tendency to a white powder- 

 ing between the lunules of the inner line. As a whole the line is nearly parallel with 

 the outer margin. S. t. line whitish or pale preceded by a black shading which be-
