zona specimens, for the present it may be well to consider it as applying 

 to an Arizona race of tejonica which latter name has well-established 

 priority. 



Syneda pulchra sp. nov. (PI. XIX, Fig. 4). 



Head and thorax gray, tegulae with darker lateral stripes; primaries 

 with basal area black-brown slightly sprinkled with gray, this area bordered 

 by a darker t. a. line, irregular in course with a prominent inward angle below 

 median vein, followed by a rounded bulge and then bent strongly backward 

 to inner margin ; median space ochreous, grayish-brown at costa and inner 

 margin and crossed outwardly by a geminate brown line; reniform a dark 

 lunate blotch bordered inwardly by an ochreous line; t. p. line as usual 

 bent strongly outwardly beyond cell, forming prominent angles on veins 3, 4 

 and 6, bent backward below vein 3 to its base then rounded and rather irregular 

 to inner margin; beyond the reniform some white shading especially on veins 

 3 and 4; subterminal space black-brown bordered by a pale, quite regular s. t. 

 line, parallel to outer margin with slight inward bend in submedian fold and 

 preceded in costal area by black dashes bordered outwardly by a dark line 

 arising from an apical dark streak; terminal area violet-gray with marginal 

 dark crenulate line; fringes smoky spotted at base with gray. Secondaries 

 vermilion with a faint dark discal lunule, a narrow postmedian dark band 

 curving downward at vein 2 to anal angle, where it is thickest, and median and 

 costal dark blotches on outer margin, fringes pinkish tinged with smoky 

 opposite blotches. Beneath pinkish, primaries with postmedian dark band, 

 forming a heavy triangular dark blotch on costa of primaries, heavy disca! 

 lunule and traces of apical and median dark shading along outer margin; 

 secondaries as above. Expanse 34 mm. 



Habit.at: Palm Spgs., Riverside Co., Calif. (Mch.) 1 $. Type, Coll. 

 Barnes. 



Obviously allied to tejonica Behr but differing in the course of 

 t. a. and s. t. lines and the ochreous median band ; the S secondaries 

 are also vermilion instead of white with pinkish shading. In view 

 of the fact that these features are usually constant in the group and 

 that our new species comes from a desert region we venture to describe 

 from a single specimen. 



Syneda hudsonica G. & R. (PI. XIX, Figs. 7, 8). 



This species is well-figured by Grote on PI. Ill, Figs. 7, 8 of Proc. 

 Ent. Soc. Phil. IV (1865); its range is probably over the whole of 

 northern Canada from Hudson Bay to Alaska and down the Rockies 

 at higher altitudes into Colorado and Utah ; we have typical speci- 

 mens from Field, B. C, and Glacier National Park, Mont. ; specimens 

 from the southern portion of Colorado and Utah have been given
