secondaries whitish in the $, darker outwardly, in the 9 slightly paler than 

 primaries ; a dark subterminal line, slightly bent on vein 4 but in general parallel 

 to outer margin and followed in $ by traces of similar brown shading as on 

 primaries; a dark median line, distinct only on inner half of wing. Beneath 

 much paler, whitish, gray sprinkled, with the maculation of the upper side 

 repeated with the addition of a discal dot on all wings. Expanse 38-44 mm.

Cochisea sinuaria sp. nov. (PI. II, Fig. 1). 



Palpi and pectus black; collar and thorax gray, sprinkled with black and 

 with indistinct dark lines crossing apex of collar and metathorax; wings 

 whitish, lightly sprinkled with blackish; t. a. line black, rounded below costa, 

 angled inwardly on cubitus, then curving backward to inner margin near base 

 of wing, preceded by a diffuse smoky shade ; an indistinct dark median shade, 

 forming a diffuse patch on costa and broken centrally; a strongly sinuate black 

 t. p. line forming a prominent outward angle above vein 4 and below vein 2, fol- 

 lowed by a dark shade band, extending in the lower portion of wing across 

 the whole terminal area and crossed by a faint white s. t. line ; prominent inter- 

 venular terminal dots ; secondaries with an indistinct continuation of the median 

 shade, a dark discal dot and a black submarginal line, forming a distinct angle 

 on vein 4 and slightly crenulate towards inner margin ; terminal dark dots as on 

 primaries. Beneath much as above but with the lines rather paler and less 

 prominent. Expanse 40 mm. 



Habitat: Paradise, Cochise Co., Ariz. (Aug. 24). IS. Type, Coll. 

 Barnes. 



Easily separable from the preceding species, with which it agrees 

 generically, by the course of the t. p. line on primaries. 



Parexcelsa inconspicuaria sp. nov. (PI. II, Fig. 18). 



Primaries rather dark smoky brown, almost immaculate, with faint traces 

 in the cell and above inner margin of a dentate t. p. line followed by short sub- 

 terminal dark dashes ; secondaries unicolorous smoky white. Beneath whitish, 

 primaries slightly smoky. Expanse 27 mm.

We place this species in the genus Parexcelsa for the present, 

 although it has a distinct tongue, as the venation appears very similar 

 and the hind tibiae of the $ are without a hair pencil. It is prob- 

 able that a new genus will be required but in the present unsatisfac- 

 tory condition of the genera in this subfamily we hesitate to add to 

 the confusion without very strong reasons; in general appearance
