absent. The t. p. line in all my specimens is a series of black dots on the veins. It 

 originates over the reniform, is strongly bent outwardly over it and then runs very 

 evenly oblique and inward to the hinder margin, which it reaches very close to the 

 median shade. The s. t. line is marked by a powdery preceding shade and when 

 most obvious shows a fairly well marked " w," a little below the middle of its course ; 

 but this line also may be entirely absent. There is a series of dots between the veins 

 a little within the outer margin. Fringes are concolorous and with only a bare trace 

 of a paler line at the base. The orbicular is moderate in size, a little elongate, ringed 

 with yellowish ; but this also may be entire'y absent. The renifonii has been already 

 described, and this is present in all the specimens that I have seen. The secondaries 

 are smoky and powdery, with a distinct discal lunule and a blackish terminal line. 

 Beneath, both wings are reddish gray, powdered with a black discal spot and a more 

 or less complete extra median line. Expanse, 1.50 to 1.75 inches = 37 to 44 mm. 



Habitat : Glenwood Springs, Colorado, in March and April. 



I have four males and one female under examination. All the 

 males are from Dr. Wm. Barnes, one of them labelled April 20th. 

 The only female was received from Mr. David Bruce and bears his 

 number, 438. The antennae in the male are lengthily pectinated, and 

 the insect belongs in appearance and wing form with alia. None of 

 the specimens have all the markings present and one specimen has 

 practically no markings except the somewhat indistinct reniform and 

 vaguely shaded s. t. line. The single female has the primaries ap- 

 parently a little broader and the s. t. line at the base marked ; but 

 this may be an individual character and not so in that sex generally. 

 This most obvious character is the shape of the reniform. 



Taeniocampa reliqua, sp. nov. 



Ground color a deep, somewhat rusty red brown. The scales of the front are 

 tipped with gray, as are also those forming the indefinite tuft on the posterior part of 

 the thorax. Basal line marked by a few black scales, and there are also a few black 

 scales in the basal space below the median vein. T. a. line fairly distinct, obsoletely 

 geminate. The outer portion of the line formed of black scales which are preceded 

 and emphasized by a few white scales. The inner line is marked on the costa only 

 and is rather a discal shading than a line. As a whole, the line is upright ; but is 

 outwardly bent in the interspaces. T. p. line very dark brown, deepened by a few 

 black scales, as a whole evenly bisinuate and nearly upright, followed by white scales 

 which make this feature the most prominent part of the wing. The s. t. line is 

 yellowish, narrow, even, continuous, followed by a series of brown points in a some- 

 what gray -powdered terminal space. The fringes are long, a little paler than the 

 ground color ; but broadly cut by the darkest wing color on the veins. The ordinary 

 spots are vague and are present rather as paler, indefined blotches. The orbicular 

 large and elongate. The reniform somewhat lunate. There is an undefined deeper 

 brown median shade. Secondaries reddish gray, the fringes a little more pinkish. 

 The veins are dusky marked and there is a feeble dusky lunule. Beneath, the wings
