but easily distinguishable. It is waved outwardly in the middle, as in 11. fritter, and 

 is similar in shape to the same line in that species. The leniform and subreniform are 

 wanting. The posterior margin is flecked with black and white, the extreme margin 

 al line consisting of black lunules. In the median space are some whitish shades. 

 Fringe grizzled with white and black. The secondaries are sordid white, with a 

 marginal row of black lunules, and some small black irrorations scattered over the 

 sub-marginal surface. Head, collar, and disk of thorax grizzled black and white 

 Tegulse yellow fawn colur, edged with black and white. Abdomen brownish, with 

 the tufts grizzled. Beneath the wings are pale drab, with blackish flecks, and faint 

 blackish discal spots, the margins showing the blackish lunules. Feet and legs fawn 

 color, spotted with gray and black, 



Exp. wings 36, mm. 2 9- Siskiyou Co. Cal. (J. Behrens). 

 The coloring of this apparently rare species, is very peculiar and will 

 serve to distinguish it from any other form. 



Apatela Americana, var. obscura. s. var. 



A very dark form in which the primaries are a much duller and dark- 

 er gray than the tyye, the lines being thus rendered less distinct, and the 

 secondaries being wholly dull smoky brown, the median waved band be- 

 ing lost in the deeper shade of the ground color. Common at Kansas 

 City, Mo. in August, and there apparently replacing the paler northern 

 form, 



Perigea fasciata, n. sp. 



Light stone color, with whitish and fawn shades. Base dull sordid white, enclos- 

 ing the basal and t. a. lines both of which are but faintly shown. The latter passes 

 straight across the wing without any dentation. Between it, and the t. p. line is a 

 rather broad whitish space. The t. p. is dark, and rather broadly edged with a 

 brownish fascia, behind which are some fawn -colored shades. Sub-marginal line 

 dark brown, with white scales intermixed, and at internal angle, a rather clear white 

 spot. Fringes alternately brown and white. Secondaries pale drab at the base, 

 clouded rather broadly on the margin, more so in the Q than in the <$■ Underside 

 dull sordid white clouded on the margins, with darker discal spot, a common median 

 line, and some triangular marks along the costa of primaries. Thorax and abdomen 

 concolorous. 



Exp. wings (j\ 21, mm. Q, 26, mm. 



Several examples. Colorado desert. (R. H. Stretch.) 



Deva morigera, n. sp. 



General color fawn drab, mottled with darker shades. The primaries have a 

 slight golden sheen. From the base runs a double white, rather broad line touching 

 the median nerve at the forward end of the cell, and here surmounted by a triangu- 

 lar double white line, the apex of which does not quite reach the costa, but rests on 

 the subcostal nerve. From this triangular mark which encloses a brown space, the 

 broad line runs a little obliquely inwardly until it reaches the somewhat waved white 

 posterior line. This latter has a double tooth near the internal margin, and is then 

 nearly straight to the apical region, where it is lost in a clear white cloud. The pos- 

 terior spare is ri( lily shaded with brown, and the same color is apparent in the mid-
