2. Adaina zephvria n. sp. PI. XLI, fig. 21. PI. XLIX, fig. 20. 

 Brownish white. Head slightly darker in front and above, pale between 



antennae. Antennae dotted with brown above. Palpi rather long and slender, 

 l)rown above; second joint oblique, third porrect, as in bipwictata. First two 

 pairs of legs brown inside, tibiae striped. Hind tarsi annulate. 



Primaries with brown irroration, forming a vague spot in middle of cell. 

 First lobe with a brown spot on costa above base of cleft, a smaller one beyond 

 and another at apex; inner margin with one spot. Second lobe with a brown 

 dot at apex preceded by two or three at ends of veins, along inner margin. 

 There is a less definite spot at the base of the cleft. Secondaries and all fringes 

 approximately concolorous with primaries. Expanse 14-17 mm. 



Aside from the left clasper. which is figured, the male genitalia are very 

 similar to those of the preceding species. 



Described from a series of thirty-two specimens from San Diego, Ca!., 

 August. The types are as follows : 



Holotype S , allotype, 7 paratypes $ and j paratypes 9 in coll. Barnes. 



Paratype <J and paratype 9 U. S. N. M. No. 23464. 



Paratype S in coll. Meyrick. 



In superficial appearance, depending on the amount of irrora- 

 tion, this species bears some resemblance to Ocdcmatophonis cadmus, 

 iohates and venapunctns, but tlie two brandies of the radius are so 

 long stalked that no difficulty should be encountered in placing it as 

 an Adaina. 



The early stages are not known.
