of wing, and the spot is crossed by a line of ochreous-yellow, over which 

 are a few black scales. The upper half of the middle white fascia is rather 

 heavily reticulited with fuscous and dirty white, the former colour starting 

 as three streaks from costa. The outer white patch connects the fascia 

 below the triangular dark spot ; it is marked with a few black dots on 

 dorsum, and a streak of faint yellowish scales before the termen. There 

 is a black terminal line, cut by two white dashes below apex, that ends 

 above anal angle. Cilii white, outwardly tipped with fuscous. 



Hind wing whitish, reticulated with very light fuscous ; under side 

 the same. Under side fore wing smoky-black, paler on costa and dotted 

 with black. 



Expanse, 18-19 mm. 



Two specimens, Victoria, B. C, Oct. 2, Dr. Wm. Barnes's collection, 

 received through U. S. Natl. Mus. One co-type returned to Natl. Mus. 

 -— Phalonia romonana, sp. nov. 



Head bleached straw-yellow, faintly darker on sides ; palpi same 

 colour, shaded with light brown outside ; antenna light gray-fuscous ; 

 thorax a shade darker than head ; abdomen dark gray, anal tuft tipped 

 with yellowish; legs bleached straw, shaded with blackish-brown. 



Fore wing; an inner and outer fascia of shining light pinkish-yellow ; 

 a basal patch, central fascia and terminal fascia of dull olivaceous-ochreous. 

 The basal patch extends to inner fifth on costa and dorsum, its edge is 

 irregular but nearly straight, close to base it is overlaid with shining scales. 

 The four fasciae beyond it are of nearly equal width and nearly parallel 

 edges ; the divisional lines are oblique from costa inward, and curved 

 outwardly below costa. There is a conspicuous patch of black scales from 

 end of cell at middle, along outer edge of middle fascia to below fold, with 

 a line of black across fascia, in fold. Beyond this black patch a streak of 

 the dull colour crosses the outer shining fascia, obliquely to anal angle. 

 The dorsal margin is dotted with black between inner fourth and outer 

 fifth. The inner third of costal edge is black, also above the middle fascia, 

 and with two black dots above the outer fascia ; there are one or two 

 black dots before termen in middle of wing. The terminal dull fascia is 

 outwardly streaked with shining lines. Cilia concolorous, shining. 



Hind wing purplish-gray, cilia whitish ; under side paler gray, lightly 

 reticulated with darker lines below costa and before termen. Under side 

 fore wing dark purplish-gray, spotted with dull ochreous on costa, cilia 

 dull ochreous, divided by a broad purplish line. 



Expanse, 7.5-1 1 mm.
