wings same as upper, but lighter in colour, the spots of the fore wing 

 faintly repeated. 



Two 9 specimens, Wellington, B. C, May 15, Rev. Geo. W.Taylor; 

 Mt. Washington, N. H., Mrs. A. T. Slosson. 



Types in Mrs. Slosson's and my collections. 



Closest to capitella, Clerck (Europe), which differs in the inner 

 dorsal spot extending entirely across the wing ; the outer spots approach 

 more closely together, and the apical spot is absent. This species belongs 

 in group I of Dr. Dietz's revision, and can readily be separated from the 

 two American species by the inner dorsal mark, which in both extends 

 from dorsal to costal margin. 



Named in honour of Rev. G. W. Taylor, to whom I am indebted for 

 many interesting specimens, 

 v^ Amydria cresceniel/a, sp. nov. — Expanse, 16 to 18 mm. 



Palpi, head, antennae and thorax very pale brown, dusted with dark 

 brown, the latter predominant on external surfaces of palpi. Abdomen 

 and legs pale cinereous, tarsi dusted with brown. 



Fore wing creamy white, slightly dusted with brown scales; this light 

 ground colour only occurs in a large triangular basal patch, extending to a 

 quarter on costa and nearly to middle on dorsal margin, A curved 

 oblique fascia from middle of costa to end of cell, a similar but narrower 

 fascia from costa just before apex, curving inwardly towards but not 

 reaching the middle fascia. These two fascias are so sharply defined 

 against the dark brown of the balance of the wing that they appear as a 

 crescent-shaped band, interrupted in the middle. 



The balance of the wing is cinnamon-brown, dotted with darker 

 brown. In some specimens the pale basal area is rather heavily dusted 

 with brown inwardly, leaving only the margin of the pale colour, forming 

 a narrow oblique fascia. On the costa, within the crescent, are two pale 

 dashes separated by a dark dot, and outwardly bounded by dark brown, 

 which also extends below them. Before the middle of fascia the costa is 

 cream colour, marked by a number of brown dots. On the outer margin 

 is a line of dark brown dots, separated by a i^vi paler scales. Cilia same 

 as dark portion of wing. 



Hind wing light cinnamon-brown, under side of both wings the same. 



Five specimens, all Baboquivaria Mountains, Pima C, Arizona, July 

 15 to 30; two collected by Prof. F. H. Snow, three by Mr. O. C. Poling. 



Types, University of Kansas and in my collection.
