 curved line from middle of costa to upper edge of cell, a similar fine white 

 an-te-terminal line from costa beyond outer fourth, curving under apex and 

 down to dorsal margin, just before anal angle, slightly indented at lower 

 third. A blackish preciliate line interrupted by the veins. Cilia paler. 



Hind wing pale fuscous, thickly dotted with black scales along dorsal 

 and outer margins. An obscure whitish ante-terminal line, strongest 

 towards dorsal margin ; slightly indented at upper third. 



Under side, both wings shining pale gray, the white lines faintly 

 repeated. 



Two (^ specimens, collected by Professor F. H. Snow, one Browns- 

 ville, Texas, June, and one San Bernardino Ranch, Cochise Co., Arizona, 

 3,750 feet elevation, August. 



One ty])e in collection of Kansas Academy Sciences, and one in 

 my collection. 



Differs from re7iicuiaris, Zell., in the absence of white discal spots, 

 and from both renicularis and eripalis, Grote, in the outer white lines of 

 both wings being very much closer to the outer margin. 



Prionapteryx baboquivariella, sp. nov. — Expanse, 22 to 28 mm. 



Head, palpi and thorax sordid white. Scales of outer joint of labial

Fore wing pale olivaceous-brown, with the lower median vein and the 

 veins in the outer third of wing overlaid with white, below the white 

 median vein is a much darker brown streak from base, to anal angle, and 

 a dark streak above it from base to end of cell. The outer half of costa 

 is shaded with white, through which run four outwardly-oblique brown 

 lines, the inner, at end of cell, runs into the brown lines above and below 

 the median vein, forming an obscure dark dentate transverse line ; a 

 similar preciliate line of white from costa, outwardly oblique for one-third 

 the width of wing, thence inwardly oblique to a third above dorsal margin,
