apparently angled inward opposite cell and rounded outwardly across veins 4 

 and 3, then distinct to anal angle and decidedly crenulate, the lower portion of 

 this median area is pale, the upper portion, especially in the broadest part oppo- 

 site the cell, is shaded with smoky purple ; two distinct black subapical streaks 

 above veins 5 and 6; subterminal band defined by two pale whitish parallel lines, 

 bent strongly outward at costa and then parallel with outer margin and close to 

 same, ending in a small black spot just above anal angle; a broken terminal dark 

 line ; fringes dusky ; secondaries whitish tinged with smoky with an indistinct 

 postmedian line, bent inwardly on vein 2, and a prominent dark terminal line 

 broken by a pale dot on the veins ; fringes pale with a minute dark dot opposite 

 the veins. Beneath primaries pale smoky with maculation of upper side indis- 

 tinctly showing through ; secondaries white ; fringes as above. E.xpanse 26 mm.

Hydriomena marmorata .sp. nov. (PI. IV, Fig. 3; PI. VIII, Fig. 7). 



Among the material sent by the American Museum we found nine 

 specimens (6 S , 3 9 ) all bearing the label "Sierra Nevadas, Calif. 

 (Hy. Edwards)', which to our mind represent a distinct species for 

 which we propose the above name, describing as follows : 



Palpi moderate, tending to short rather than long, blackish; head and 

 thorax gray, sprinkled and marked with blackish and with a strong blackish 

 metathoracic tuft; primaries narrow, elongate, with pointed apex, dull gray 

 marbled with reddish pink and with the usual purplish lines and bands ; basal 

 space pale gray sprinkled with black atoms, especially along inner margin, defined 

 outwardly by line 1 which is strongly outwardly oblique from costa to cubital 

 vein, then angled and concave, but still oblique, to inner margin somewhat before 

 middle; band 2 broad, dark, irregular, shaded on both sides with ruddy-pink and 

 tiiarked with a black dash at inner margin ; the inner defining line of the paler 

 median area (line 3) not well marked; this area is narrow, sprinkled with dark 

 gray and suffused with ruddy below the cell, with small dark discal dash ; the 

 outer defining line is irregular with a strong inward bend opposite the cell ; 

 beyond this is a broad ruddy area followed by a broad purplish gray subterminal 

 band crossed by the usual subapical dashes; terminal area gray, sprinkled with 

 darker gray and somewhat diffused with ruddy; veins marked terminally on 

 both sides by blackish streaks. Secondaries rather pale smoky with more or 

 less distinct postmedian and subterminal dark parallel lines, rather strongly 

 angled on vein 3. Beneath smoky gray with dark discal dots and two postmedian 

 lines on both wings, especially distinct on secondaries. Expanse 32 mm. 



The types i and 9 are in the American Museum Collection 

 along with Paratypes; through the kindness of the authorities of the 

 Museum 2 3,1 9 Paratypes are retained in the Barnes Collection ; 

 Mr. Swett has also recently sent us a S from California which we 

 have made a Paratype. There is a worn 9 from Provo, Utah (July
