I'haloiiia bit^cana sp. nov. 



Expanse 15-23 mm. 



Head : light ochreous-brown on top and in front, darker on sides ; palpi, inside 

 light ochreous-brown, darker outside; antenna, light fuscous; thorax, light 

 brown, posterior and tips of patagia lighter ; abdomen and legs light ochreous, 

 latter dusted with brown. 



Forewing: Narrow and pointed, light brown, with several obscure lines and 

 fascige of a darker shade of brown ; in some specimens these are almost obsolete. 

 In the most plainly marked they occur as follows: from inner fifth of costa 

 obliquely outward to inner third of wing a third below costa; thence equally 

 oblique inward to a third above dorsum, where it disappears. A similar line 

 starts from middle of costa to end of cell, thence inward to dorsum, a little beyond 

 middle. A narrow terminal line running into apex with an indentation a third 

 below costa; a V-shaped mark on outer fifth of costa ; cilia concolorous. 



Hind wing and underside of both wings shining gray, slightly ochreous along 

 costa of forewing. 



Thirty specimens; Essex County Park, N. J., July 15th to Sept. 

 12th ; New Brighton, Pa., Aug. 24th, F. A. Merrick ; Dalton, 

 Glenburn, and Carbondale, Pa., July 29th to Aug. 6th, A E. Lis- 

 ter ; Orono, Maine, Prof. Fernald ; No. 39,455, H. G. Dyar. 



Phaloiiia biscana var. giscaiia var. nov. 



Expanse 13-15 mm. 



Similar to above, except that the head parts and thorax are a lighter brown, 

 the forewing a light ochreous-brown. The fascia and lines are a fuscous-brown 

 and well defined on the pale ground color. 



Eight specimens: Essex County Park, July 24th to Sept. 15th ; 



one specimen from Prof. Fernald ; no locality label, probably Orono, 



Maine. 



Phaloiiia bomoiiaiia sp. nov. 



Expanse 14-16 mm. 



Head : Shining dirty white; palpi dull white, ochreish-brown on outside, api- 

 cal joint brown; antenna fuscous-brown ; thorax dirty white, stained with yel- 

 lowish in front and at base of patagia; abdomen white with a faint pink tinge; 

 tuft bleached straw; legs whitish, dusted and banded with blackish-fuscous. 



Forewing: dirty white, with an inner and outer fascite, each consisting of sev- 

 eral ochreish-red and reddish-brown spots, separated from each other and out- 

 lined by shining white lines. The inner fascia is composed of a round spot on 

 inner fourth of costa, a flattened oval spot in middle of wing, and a shade on 

 dorsal margin. The outer fascia begins as a dark brown streak on outer third of 

 costa, which enlarges into a large oblique oval spot of Indian red, with a horizon- 

 tal streak of pale ochre through the middle of it. At end of cell, over base of 

 veins 3, 4, and 5, is a smaller spot, and on dorsal margin a triangular spot with 

 its outer angle in anal angle. There is a broad terminal baud of dirty yellow and 

 brown ; before it, between veins 4 and 6, a similar broader band ; between 6 and 

 7, a long horizontal streak, and a similar shade between 2 and 4; a shade of 

 coppery-red below costa at base. The costa is blackish-brown on the inner fourth.
