Eucosina paudaiia sp. uuv. 



Expanse 24 to 28 mm. 



Head, palpi and thorax whitish-cinereous, speckled with brownish-fuscous; 

 apical joint of palpi black; antenna cinereous; abdomen pale cinereous; legs 

 whitish, dusted with fuscous. 



Forewing: dark reddish-brown, heavily overlaid with white-tipped scales; 

 the whitish color forms a wide fascia from middle of costa to dorsum ; its inner 

 line angles outwardly to middle of wing, then obliquely inward to inner fourth 

 of dorsum. The outer line is not clearly defined, but is as a shade from middle 

 of costa to outer fourth of dorsum. Beyond this and parallel to it is a band of 

 the darker color, outwardly edged with whitish scales; it curves inward slightly 

 at end of cell and terminates in anal angle. On the outer third of costa are four 

 obscure dark costal spots outlined with white. The ocellus consists of an irregu- 

 lar cluster of slightly shining whitish scales. Cilia same as wing, preceded by an 

 irregular line of white. 



Hindwiug: light smoky-fuscous; cilia paler and preceded by a darker hand. 

 Underside smoky-fuscous, strigulated with fuscous. Underside forewing smoky- 

 fuscous, minutely dotted with whitish ; costa dotted with pale-ochreous and dark- 

 brown spots. 



Five specimens. Wilgus, Cochise Co., Ariz., Dr. Barnes ; Kerr- 



ville, Texas, Dr. Barnes. 



Eucosma naiidana sp. nov. 



Expanse 26 to 30 mm. 



Head : brownish-gray, speckled with whitish ; palpi gray-black, speckled with 

 whitish; antenna light fuscous; abdomen pale cinereous, speckled with light 

 brown ; anal tuft reddish-brown ; legs whitish, powdered with brownish-fuscous. 



Forewing: ochreous-gray ; the tips of many of the scales are white, giving a 

 powdered appearance over the whole surface ; the ochreous-gray are replaced by 

 blackish-brown scales in an obscurely defined baud from inner third of dorsum 

 to outer three-fifths of costa. This dark fascia is clearly defined on its outer 

 edge, and is indented a quarter below costa. In some specimens the dark shade 

 extends to base; in others it is lost before reaching the inner fourth. On the 

 outer end of wing a similar darker line starts from near apex, obliquely, to end 

 of cell in middle of wing, then angles outward, then inward to dorsal margin at 

 outer fourth. Beyond this are some dark vertical strigulse. The dark lines are 

 caused by the absence of the white tips to the scales. Cilia brown, thickly dotted 

 with white. 



Hind wing: pale fuscous in % , darker fuscous in 9 > cilia fuscous, dotted with 

 darker scales; underside pale cinereous; underside forewing smoky-brown. 



Six specimens. Rounthwaite, July, Marmont; Regina, Sept., 

 Willing ; Chicago, 111. ; Iowa, Gillette, Acac. Cat., 142. 

 Cotype in U. S. Nat. Mus. 



Eacosma niandana sp. nov. 

 Expanse 18-19 mm. 



Head, thorax and antenna rusty brown ; palpi cream color, fuscous outwardly ; 

 abdomen whitish-fuscous, tuft darker; legs whitish-fuscous, dusted with brown.
