Grossb. so closely that we feel it should be placed next this species; 

 from cctrapclaria it differs by its much smaller size and generally 

 more slender build ; the 9 has a much longer abdomen which pro- 

 trudes well beyond the secondaries and from what can be seen of the 

 t. p. line it appears to be more crenulate in our new species. 



Synaxis triangulata B. & McD. 



This recently described species (Contr. Ill, (1) 2>i) was placed 

 by us in Sabulodes from a single 9 specimen ; the receipt of a 5 

 from Kerrville, Texas, which has pectinate antennae renders the re- 

 moval from this genus necessary ; the antennae of the 9 , as noted 

 in our original description, are distinctly bidentate and although the 

 S antennae are much more strongly pectinate than in fnscata Hist, 

 or jubararia Hist, the reference to the genus Synaxis is the most satis- 

 factory we know of at the present time, the palpi being distinctly 

 shorter than we find in members of the genus Phcrne and Epiplaly- 

 metra. 



Stenaspilates metzaria Dyar. 



This name is based on a rather dark gray $ from Clarcmont, 

 Calif., of the species apapinaria Dyar, described the year previous from 

 ochreous 9 specimens from San Diego, Calif. ; as in the whole 

 Stciiaspilatcs group there is a great variety of color exhibited in this 

 species, the S 's ranging from dark gray to dark ochreous, the 9 's 

 being more constantly deep ochreous. If desired, the name metzaria 

 may be used for the color-form of apapinaria as noted. 



Sabulodes accentuata sp. nov. (PI. XXIII, Fig. 4). 



Thorax and wings pale to deep ochreous, the primaries striate in appear- 

 ance and crossed by two rather broad smoky lines, the t. a. line outwardly 

 oblique from costa to lower portion of cell, then slightly angled and almost 

 straight to inner margin ; t. p. line from costa near apex, very slightly sinuate, 

 almost rigidly oblique, accentuated on the veins by black dots, continued across 

 secondaries as a straight line, similarly dotted on the veins. Beneath silky 

 ochreous with maculation of upper side showing through; fringes rather deeper 

 in color with distinct black dots at end of veins. Expanse 39 mm.
