of ground color sharply defined only on upper half, strig-ulated with 

 darker transverse lines. This shade really covers all of the wing beyond 

 basal area, but interrupted as follows: In the middle of costa a triangu- 

 lar dark brown patch, its lower point reaching to median line; it is 

 interrupted on costa by a pair of ground color lines, the inner curling 

 inward and blocking off a rectangular costal spot of the dark color. 

 Before the lyial angle a triangulai- brown spot extends to middle of 

 wing; it is separated from the costal patch b}' a broad band of ground 

 color; it is darkest at its upper end and outwardly and upwardly de- 

 fined by a paler luteous line. Arising from the anal angle and follow- 

 ing outline of outer margin to middle, thence curving evenly inw^ard 

 beneath the costal spots, is a broad line, swelling out into a flattened 

 ovate spot above, pale brown on its lower half, graduall}- becomino- 

 darker to the lunate spot, which is jet black. The ocellic spot between 

 this and the dorsal triangular spot is luteous gray, with the flattened 

 black dots in a vertical line; the upper one is the most constant and 

 largest. The apical spot is moderate on costa, but extends down to 

 nearly middle of wing on outer margin; between this spot and the 

 rectangular brow^n spot on middle of costa are three large brown 

 costal spots, separated from each oth6r by geminated luteous lines, 

 the line between third and fourth spots from apex (counting apical 

 spot as num))er one) borders the outer spots below and runs into the 

 outer margin, thence upward to apex, outlining the apical spot. 

 Cilia gray. 



Hindwing smoky-brown, cilia gray, divided by a slightly darker 

 line. Under side forewing, dark smoky brown with paler geminations 

 tdong costa and a paler shade before cilia which is cinereous. Under 

 side hind wing grayish brow^n, reticulated transversely over its entire 

 surface with darker brown lines. Cilia grayish brown with an outer 

 and middle line of fuscous. Abdomen grayish brown, anal tuft dark 

 brown. Legs same annulated and shaded with dark smoky brown. 

 Expanse, male 23 to 24.5 mm.; female 29 mm. Two males, one fe- 

 male, Try on, North Carolina, August 2-11. Collected by Mr. W. F. 

 Fiske, whose name I take pleasure in giving to this species. 



Cotypes. — Cat. No. 8245, U. S. Nat. Mus., and in my collection. 



EUCOSMA CONSTRICTANA Zeller. 



Two specimens, August 8. Difi'ering from Texan specimens in my 

 collection, the shades of which are reddish brown, in being shades of 

 steel grav and black. Further material may prove these specimens to 

 be a good variet}"- or different species. 



THIODIA RADIATANA Walsingham. 



One male, May 1. Quite badly rubbed, but probabl}^ this species, 

 or one of the closely allied, of which 1 have five awaiting opportunity 

 for description.
