by a few black dots on veins ; t. p. line rather better defined, bent outward below 

 costa, incurved in fold with black dots on veins just beyond it giving a dentate 

 appearance; reniform and orbicular obsolescent; terminally the veins are finely 

 black-lined ; an ochreous line at base of fringes. Secondaries white basally 

 with broad smoky terminal shading and pale ochreous basal fringe-line. Be- 

 neath primaries smoky gray, rather irridescent basally, with curved black post- 

 median line ; secondaries hyaline white broadly sprinkled with smoky-brown 

 along costa, this portion crossed by a continuation of the dark line of primaries. 

 Expanse 35 mm. 



Habitat: Stockton, Ut. (Spalding) (July 30); Glenwood Spgs., Colo. 

 (July 8-15). 2 5. Types, Coll. Barnes. 



Closely resembles exculpairix Dyar but differs in lacking the dis- 

 tinctly black front of this species, the head and thorax being concolor- 

 ous ; the veins are also much less distinctly outlined in black ; in respect 

 to the concolorous nature of the front, it agrees with corrodcra Sm. 

 but the primaries show none of the red-brown coloring of this species 

 nor the heavy black veining. 



Anytus connecta Sm. 



This species, described as a Polia and placed in our list in the 

 genus Eumichtis, must be transferred to the genus Anytus as the mid 

 tibiae are rather feebly spined and the hind tibiae show constantly a 

 single spine between the spurs; the species is well figured by Smith 

 (Tr. Am. Ent. Soc. XVII, PI. Ill, Fig. 2) and while allied to discors 

 Grt. should be readily recognizable by the large pale orbicular and 

 the white shading beyond the t. p. line above the inner margin; the 

 type locality is Glenwood Spgs., Colo., and besides specimens from 

 there which we have compared with the type in the National Museum 

 we have series from Eureka, Utah, and Palmerlee, Ariz. ; cupola Hamp. 

 described from material from Eureka, Utah, (Ann. Mag. N. Hist. (8) 

 XII, 590) may prove to be a synonym but without a knowledge of the 

 type we are unable to definitely place this species. 



Pronoctua pyrophiloides peabodyae Dyar. 



This form was described in a paper entitled "List of Lepidoptera 

 taken at Williams, Ariz." from a single 9 with pinkish ground color 

 instead of the gray color of Californian specimen; Dr. Dyar men- 

 tions also a S taken at Bluflf, Utah. Both these specimens are marked 

 "type" in the National Museum, but it seems well to restrict the type 

 to the 9 specimen from Arizona as the S is very worn and the
