OzARBA NEBULA sp. nov. (PI. XVIII, Fig. 5). 



Primaries pinkish-gray suffused with olivaceous in the outer portion of 

 median area and the costal portion of the subterminal area ; t. a. line geminate, 

 pink-filled, upright, with an outward bulge in the submedian fold ; median 

 shade dark, outwardly oblique from costa to a point on the submedian fold 

 close to t. p. line, then bent slightly inward and again bulging outwardly to 

 inner margin ; t. p. line geminate, pink-filled, outwardly oblique to vein 7, con- 

 cave to vein 5, forming two short teeth on veins 5 and 7, then straight and 

 slightly inwardly oblique to inner margin; reniform a narrow oblique oval, 

 outlined in white and situated close to t. p. line, the intermediate portion filled 

 with pinkish ; beyond the teeth of the t. p. line two olivaceous-brown streaks, 

 the upper one broader and heavier; several white points on costa beyond t. p. 

 line with olivaceous shading beyond them ; s. t. line, faint, pale, in general par- 

 allel to outer margin; a faint pale terminal line; fringes purplish with pale 

 pink apex. Secondaries pale smoky. Beneath primaries dark smoky, secon- 

 daries paler with small discal dot and traces of curved postmedian line. Ex- 

 panse 15 mm. 



Habitat: Winnfield, La. (June 16-23). 1 <J . Type, Coll. Barnes. 



Besides the type we have three worn specimens, two labelled 

 "Texas", the other Chokoloskee, Fla. The species is closely related 

 to aeria Grt. and fannia Druce but the small size and white-outlined 

 reniform should distinguish it ; apparently in some collections it has 

 been placed under aetheria Grt. as one of our specimens is so labelled. 



Chamyris sirius sp. nov. (PI. XVII, Fig. 17). 



Very close superficially to cerintha in maculation but differing in the 

 following points; the base of the collar is very distinctly white-banded which 

 is only very occasionally the case in cerintha; the basal white area on pri- 

 maries juts further out into the following dark space along the median vein; 

 the orbicular and reniform are more definitely outlined in black and the greenish 

 or purplish waved lines between them are less suffused and form four quite 

 distinct lines on inner margin ; the t. p. line is shaded outwardly with dark 

 brown for its whole length and the crenulations of the s. t. line are deeper ; the 

 size is smaller. Expanse 25 mm.

Genus Cryphia Hbn. 



This monotypical genus is based on the species nana, figured in 

 the Zutr. Exot. Schmett. Figs. 53-54 from Georgia. Following Grote 

 and Smith (who however had never satisfactorily identified it) the 

 species has been generally listed in our North American catalogues 

 under Bryophila or Jaspidia. Hampson (1910, Cat. Lep. Phal. Brit. 

 Mus., X, 552) on the strength of a single Alabama specimen in the
