discal dot, a curved median line and an s. t. line composed of confluent dark 

 patches most distinct below costa. Expanse 20 mm. 



Habitat: San Diego, Calif. 1 $. Type, Coll. Barnes. 



The species is evidently allied to osculata Hist, but not very closely 

 and as far as we know is quite distinct from any described species. 



GEOMETRINAE 



Drepanulatrix (Deilinia) lutearia sp. nov. (PI. II, Figs. 5, 6). 



$ . Antennae heavily pectinate ; front, thorax, and primaries orange yellow 

 with a slight pinkish suffusion the latter crossed by three equidistant, parallel, 

 upright, purple lines, thicker at costa and with slight outward angle just below 

 same, the 3rd line only prominent on costa and inner margin in the single male 

 before us but the course better indicated in some 9 specimens; some diffuse sub- 

 terminal purplish shading most prominent between veins 2 and 4 where it rests on 

 t. p. line ; a black discal dot just outside of 2nd line and a row of faint dark ter- 

 minal dots ; fringe purplish ; secondaries pale ochreous basally, shading into 

 pinkish outwardly, without any dark sprinkling, but with distinct discal dot and 

 two slight black marks on inner margin showing inception of median lines; 

 faint terminal dots and purplish fringes. Below pale ochreous much suffused 

 with pink outwardly and with discal dot on each wing. 



9 . Deeper orange than in $ , shading into maroon outwardly ; all macula- 

 tion very indistinct except the discal dots. Expanse 23-26 mm. 



Habitat: Camp Baldy, S. Bern. Mts., S. Calif. (July). 1 6\ 5 9. Types, 

 Coll. Barnes. 



Rather close to carnearia Hist, but entirely lacking the black 

 sprinkling characteristic of this species, the secondaries bearing great 

 resemblance in this respect to those of bifilata Hist. The antennae are 

 much more strongly pectinate than in nevadaria Hist. 



Drepanulatrix (Deilinia) secundaria sp. nov. (PI. II, Figs. 11, 

 12). 



$ . Antennae finely pectinate, the pectinations shorter than in quadraria 

 Grt. but longer than in nevadaria Hist. ; head, thorax, and primaries pale orange- 

 ochreous, sprinkled finely with dark atoms; maculation indistinct, consisting of 

 three upright, parallel, equidistant dark lines ; a subterminal narrow dark band, 

 bent in toward the 3rd line below vein 5 ; a small discal dot and distinct terminal 

 dark points ; secondaries pale flesh-color, sprinkled lightly with dark speckles 

 and with dark discal and terminal dots ; traces of two median dark cross lines
