lected in June, 1918. In the collection of the U. S. National Museum 

 there are the following specimens: San Diego, Tex., May 5, male (E. 

 A. Schwarz) ; Mc Allen, Tex., May 22, male (McMillan) ; Cotula, 

 Tex., May 10, 1906, six males and three females, May 11, 1906, ten 

 males and seven females, June i, 1906, female, all collected by Craw- 

 ford and Pratt, and one male collected May 12, 1906, by F. C. Pratt. 

 This species can be separated from all of the others here consid- 

 ered by the shape of the fore wings, which, as has been stated, are 

 more evenly rounded, that is, the outer margin is not as straight as 

 it is in the others. 



Cacama californica new species. 



Type male and allotype female from Los Angeles County, California, July 

 (Collection Coquillett). U. S. National Museum. 



This species resembles Cacama varicgata in color pattern and general 

 appearance, and the rostrum is of the same length, but it differs otherwise in 

 the following particulars: The head is usually smaller; the fore wings are 

 narrower with the outer margins more straight, and with the space between 

 the marginal cells and the edge of the wings very broad. The basal cell is 

 nearly clear, and the first and second cross veins are hardly infuscated. A 

 side view of the abdomen shows the operculum to be sinuated on the margin, 

 instead of evenly curved as in variegata. The opercula are also shorter though

of the same general shape. The end of the abdomen as viewed either from 

 above or below is seen to be broader or more flattened out.
