36 AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. ' 



Eiicosma johiisonana sp. nov. 



Expanse 14-15 mm. 



Head: with compact tuft between eyes and projecting forward, rounded on 

 top, scales of moderate length ; color dull ochre, suffused with pink back of and 

 beneath eyes. Palpi with flattened compressed tuft on top largest about middle 

 of second joints, thence rounded to outer joint, the tip of which is well exposed ; 

 color: salmon-pink, outer joint darker and tipped with ochre. Antennaj simple 

 in male and female, grayish-fuscous, suffused with pink, annulations darker. 

 Thorax and patagia salmon-pink, fading into ochreous posteriorly. Abdomen 

 and legs pale ochreish, anterior tibia pink in front. 



Forewing: costa nearly straight, very slightly and evenly arched, apex rounded, 

 ternien straight to 3, angle rounded, dorsum straight. Male costal fold little 

 more than one-third length of ring, narrow, appressed. Pale ochreish, shaded 

 with salmon-pink along costa, and a well-defined basal patch of this color. The 

 basal patch of pink is most pronounced on dorsal half of wing and extends to 

 beyond inner third, it is outwardly defined by a narrow band of very dark 

 brown and black scales from dorsal margin to middle of wing, slightly oblique 

 inwardly (i. e. nearer base at middle that at dorsum). A well-defined band of 

 pink from base to apex on costa and extending down to upper vein of cell and 

 following line of 7 into apex. A triangular shade of ochreish-pink is below this 

 band in outer half; this shade is continued as a narrow line curving above ocellic 

 spot and enlarging on termen, between apex and ocellic spot, into a smaller tri- 

 angular spot. Ocellic spot large, rounded, occupying half width of wing; pale 

 ochreish. crossed by three slightly shining, whitish, vertical lines, the outer 

 curves inward at the top and there joins the inner. A few blackish scales on the 

 lower ends of each of these lines, and a few scattered blackish scales above ocellic 

 spot. Cilia very pale ochreish, with a double line of black scales from below 

 apex to above anal angle. The costa is not marked with any distinct lines, but 

 it as well as the whole of the wing is very faintly mottled with scales slightly 

 darker or slightly lighter than the prevailing shades. In female specimens the 

 blackish dorsal semi-fascia is broader and there are more separate black scales in 

 the ocellic patch and above it. 



Hindwing: whitish-fuscous, shading into smoky fuscous at apex and termen. 

 Cilia white, preceded by a dark fuscous, then by a narrow whitish line. 



Forewing: beneath fuscous, pink along costa, whitish below cell and 2, cilia 

 gray. 



Hindwing: beneath pale fuscous or light gray, cilia whitish.
