tends nearly to middle of wing. Before this white patcli is an inverted wedge- 

 shaped black spot, overlaid above with light brown. A darker shade fioni mid- 

 dle of costa forms a fascia that separates the white patch from a gray ocellic spot, 

 the lower half of fascia is dotted with black. The ocellic spot is edged before 

 and behind narrowly with white and a small spot of white color in middle. The 

 black apical spot and a similar costal spot before apex, continue as brown lines to 

 middle of wing, where they join and continue as a single line to termen above 

 apex, the brown is somewhat dotted with black. The male fold is pinkish-white, 

 dotted with dark brown, the second. fourth of costa is dark brown, between the 

 middle and spot before apex it is marked with three whitish geminate dashes. 

 Terminal line blackish-gray; cilia leaden-gray, cut with a whitish streak below 

 apex. 



Hindwing: smoky brown, cilia gray, with a light basal line, followed by a 

 darker line; underside lighter, reticulated on upper half. 



Underside forewing: dark smoky brown, costal spots repeated. 



Six specimens: Cisco, Placer Co., Cal., June 1st; Colfax, Placer 

 Co., Cal., July, all collected by A. H. Vachell. 



Kucoiiinia miscona sp. nov. 



Expanse 16-19 mm. 



Head : light brown ; palpi cream color inside, and upper edge, the brush out- 

 wardly and at the end, both inside and outside, dark gray ; antenna gray, annu- 

 lated with light brown ; thorax black, with a transverse pale ochreous line, the 

 posterior edge and patagia same color; abdomen fuscous; legs yellowish, banded 

 and powdered with blackish-brown. 



Forewing: pale ochreous, strigulated with black in basal area, a middle fascia 

 of same color but more heavily and evenly overlaid with black, this ground color 

 in outer half, below costa, is a dusky olivaceous-yellow. Between basal area and 

 middle fascia is a broader whitish-gray fascia stiigulated with black. The ba.'al 

 area extends to inner third on dorsum, indented below fold, angling outward 

 on fold, then obliquely inward to inner fourth of costa, but indented at upper 

 third. The whitish fascia, beyond it, begins as a geminate yellow spot on costa, 

 it broadens outwardly to dorsal margin. The ochreous and black fascia extends 

 from middle of wing to dorsum before anal angle. The ocellic spot consists of 

 two vertical bars of pinkish shining scales enclosing a black streak, the bars are 

 nearly joined above and below, and above and before them is another shoit 

 curved line of the same scales separated from the ocellus by a black dash. There 

 is a similar shining line before termen in middle of wing and below it, in angle, 

 a small spot. Between the shining spots and the dusky yellow streak below 

 costa, the ground color is black, finely atomized with white. At middle of costa 

 are two geminate white streaks, close togethei', between them and apex are three 

 others, more widely spaced, each encloses a black line, and below upper fourth 

 they change to metallic-blue; the one before apex sends a white dash through 

 the cilia and terminal line below apex; the second and third befoi-e costa join 

 and run into the shining line before termen. There is a fine black terminal line, 

 interrupted below apex, and not reaching angle; beyond this line is a line of gray 

 which extends around termen. Cilia pinki.sh-gray.
