gradually shorten to the simple apex. Cleora has long filiform pec- 

 tinatiouJ to the % auteniue, and they always shorten suddenly to 

 the simple apex. The latter characteristic is peculiar to a few species 

 mostly included under the old genus Boarmia.

A. 5-linearia Pack. 



A. dissonaria u. sp.— Expands 35-38 mm. Of the quinquelinearia Pack, 

 group. CoU.r light gray or dull white, with a mixture of dark brown scales; 

 lines of wings oblique, the basal obsolete towards costa, with an inner shadow 

 line, the outer evenly sinuate with outer shadow line; the outer line obsolete 

 towlrds apex, runs from that direction to middle of inner margin ; a middle line 

 faint, from costa. through discal spot, nearly reaching outer line then subparallel 

 with it to inner margin ; the lengthened discal spot and line with the sinus of the 

 outer line give an impression of an inclosed rounded costal space ; hind wings 

 basal line indistinct: outer line with its outer shadow line wavy, most bent in at 

 3: marginal Hue fine, black, even ; outer margin of fore wings evenly wavy, the 

 hind wings more wavy, but with a strong inner depression at 5; thorax and ab- 

 domen light gray, segments of abdomen black anteriorly. 



Colorado. 



A. spododea n. sp.— Expands 32-34 mm. Palpi and front dark fuscous; 

 antenna; fuscous, pectinations very short, though distinct : thorax fuscous, patagiai 

 blackish gray. Abdomen fuscous, the segments ringed with dark fuscous or 

 black ; fore wings dark gray, with four cross-lines, two basal close together, the 

 inner the more diffuse, parallel, very slightly rounded outwardly; the third line 

 is just within the discal spot, broad, black, nearly straight, more diffuse outwardly ; 

 the outer line is black, with a faint shadow line outwardly just beyond discal 

 spot, nearly straight, or evenly curved twice ; a submarginal jagged white line, 

 edged with fuscous or blackish ; marginal space darker than the rest of the wing ; 

 margin with black points; hind wings light gray at base, becoming dark gray 

 outwardly; three faint lines showing, each limited by a black spot on inner 

 margin ; beneath light gray, the lines faintly shadowed. 



Colorado. In appearance very much like Sciagraphia atrifasciata. 



A. dejecta n. sp.— Expands 35-40 mm. An insect of the size of Cleom 

 larvaria, and in its general appearance very much resembling it. The lines are 

 in general very nearly the same, though much less decided in dejecta ; the outer 

 line of the fore wings is oblique, beginning nearer the apex, and the outer line 

 of the hind wings is less angulate at middle; the whole appearance of the insect
