Greenwood Springs, Col., from Dr. Barnes. Very much like G. 

 tusciaria, of Europe. 



G. fbrmosa n. sp. — Expands 40-42 mm. Palpi blai^kish on sides, whitish 

 at end of hairs below; front dark gray, made of the blackish hairs which are 

 whitish at the ends, or fuscous, the color then being dark fuscous, .\bdomen 

 dull white to fuscous, with scattered blackish scales; fore wings even, rounded, 

 dark gray to fuscous basally and outwardly blackish, olive or dark fuscous on 

 middle field ; the middle field is edged with a white line on both sides, and in 

 cases where the middle field is faded, the extreme part next the white lines shows 

 as black lines; basal margin of middle field very oblique, beginning subcostally 

 beyond middle reaching the inner margin close to base, after an angulation at 

 cell and again between 1 and cell; outer line beginning near apex, running 

 somewhat inwardly, and with two curves to inner margin ; an outer submarginal 

 dark shading, blackish or dark fuscous; hind wings light gray to fuscous, with 

 a broad dark median cross-line, and a broad dark outer field ; beneath light fus-

Mr. Meyrick uses this generic name in the sense of Epione Guen., 

 but I think it must be placed here. Hiibner placed three species, 

 obtmarla Hiib., apiciaria Linn, and oespertaria, under it. The spe- 

 cies were not congeneric. Guenee, not recognising Hiibner, erected 

 Epione, of which apiciaria is type, and with which vespertaria is 

 congeneric, and put obtunaria under his genus Endropia. The rules 

 require that Guenee's division shall be recognized, that Epione, the 

 first genus described, be recognized as valid, obfnsaria thus becoming
