Forewing: browu, with a slight bronzy tinge; in the fresh specimen rather 

 heavily streaked with gray from base to termen. On the cosla below middle are 

 two oblique white streaks, between them and base another white shade that does 

 not extend below costa ; beyond the middle are four pairs of white costal dashes, 

 the inner one of the first pair giving off a short line of lilaceous metallic scales; 

 the outer one of the second pair gives off a similar line, which runs beneath the 

 third pair; the outer dash of the fourth pair continues as a broken line of metallic 

 to termen beneath apex ; these white dashes are separated by black interspaces. 

 The ocellic spot is absent, being represented by a vertical bar of yellowish-gray 

 metallic scales. The white dorsal streak is slightly beyond middle of wing and ■ 

 consists of two narrow oblique lines joined together at the top by metallic scales, 

 and this extension reaching above middle of wing. Between the two lines on 

 dorsum is a tiny white dot, a similar dot on dorsum before the first line; one or 

 both of these dots are absent in some specimens. Cilia shining leaden, preceded 

 by a black terminal line. 



Hind wings: dark bronzy-brown, tuft of hair scales at base of median vein and 

 cilia white. Underside whitish-bronze, mottled along costa with darker brown. 



Underside forewing: same as hind wing, but outer half shinish reddish-bronze ; 

 costal spots strong, repeated. 



Four specimens : three Henry Edwards' collection, Am. Mus. 

 Nat. Hist., Reg. Nos. 14,564, 14,568, and 14,569, Coll. Nos. 236 

 and 235, California ; one specimen, San Francisco, Cal. 



Cotypes in U. S. Nat. Mus. and in my collection. 



This species is similar to our eastern E. tristrigana Clem., hut can 

 be distinguished by the different dorsal marks. The three speci- 

 mens from the Edwards' collection are somewhat faded, and are of 

 a -light cinnamon brown, the gray streaks absent, but tlie costal, 

 ocellic, and dorsal marks agree with the fresher specimen. 



Enarmoiiia laiia sp. nov. / /:l. tg-t^ 



Expanse 13 5-15 mm. 7/ #•' 



Head : fuscous, dark cream in front; palpi whitish, with a few dots on brown 

 on outside of tufts; antennse fuscous; thorax olivaceous-brown; abdomen purp- 

 lish-fuscous, shining, outer ends of scales on underside whitish-fuscous; legs 

 bronzy-brown. 



Forewing: brownish-bronze, shining all over. There are two short oblique 

 white dashes on costa before middle; beyond middle are eight white dashes, the 

 inner pair geminate, and the six outer ones arranged in three pair, interspaces dark 

 brown ; from the inner dash and from the first pair, short lines of bluish-metallic 

 scales parallel the costa ; a short line of the same is below the eighth. There is a 

 dot of the same in termen beneath apex. The ocellic spot is absent, but repre- 

 sented by a vertical bar of golden metallic scales reaching to middle of wing, 

 between it and termen the ground color is overlaid with yellowish scales. The 

 dorsal mark is broad and divided into four lines, they are somewhat contracted 

 at the top, where they reach to the middle of the wing. Terminal line dark 

 brown, cut below apex by a black streak, bordering which below is a white scale.
