Described from ten males, nine from Palmerlee, Ariz., and one (paratype) 

 from Camp Baldy, San Bernardino Mts., Cal., all taken in July. 



Holotype and eight paratypes coll. Barnes. 



Parat>'pe U. S. N. M. No. 23476. 



This little species is not unlike our Adaina zcphyria in superfi- 

 cial appearance, but differs in having the discal spot separated from 

 the base of the cleft by a white area, and in the much less prominent 

 spots on the margins of the lobes of the primaries. 



Nothing is known of the life history. 



30. OlDAEMATOPHORUS lOBATES n. sp. PI. XLVII, fig. 16. PI. LIV, 



fig. 12. 



Head brown above and in front, brownish white between antennae. An- 

 tennae with a slender, somewhat broken brown line above. Palpi moderately 

 long, very slender, white with a brown line outside. Fore and middle legs 

 white with brown stripes, the tarsi with dashes on one side or merely brown 

 shading. Hind legs whitish, sprinkled with brown scales, sometimes very 

 heavily. Tarsi with the joints tipped and slightly shaded with brown. Spurs 

 long, the inner spur of first pair reaching well over half way to end of tibiae, 

 the rest relatively shoiltr tliuii in cadmus. Thorax and abdomen brownish 

 white, the latter sprinkled with brown scales about as heavily as primaries and 

 usually marked with single brown dorsal dots in posterior margins of segments, 

 and a powdery ventral line. 



Primaries brownish white to pale tawny, in the first case a little ochreous 

 in first lobe and in the second more whitish toward base. The wings are 

 sprinkled with dark brown scales, most heavily in second lobe and along inner 

 half. The irroration is limited to these areas in some specimens. Costa usually 

 darkened with these scales in basal half, always with a long dash over base 

 of cleft and one or two spots beyond, the outer one larger. The irroration 

 forms a poorly defined spot at base of cleft, its nucleus apparently separated 

 from the cleft, and sometimes a smaller spot near middle of cell. Apex of first 

 lobe, inner margin before apex, and tips of veins in second lobe with brown 

 dots. Those on the second lobe are often obscured by the brown irroration. 

 Fringes concolorous with wing or nearly so on inner margin and in base of 

 cleft, becoming much darker toward apices of both lobes. The dark areas 

 contain brownish black basal scales at the apices of the lobes, and a few 

 clusters of pale scales before apices. Secondaries and fringes pale gray-brown. 

 Expanse 17-20 mm. 



The male genitalia have no tufts on the claspers, as is the case in the 

 two following species. 



Described from nineteen specimens taken by O. C. Poling in April and 

 May 8-15, en route from Dewey to Salome, Ariz.
