the species seems allied to lineata Hist, but the lack of any definite 

 maculation renders it easily distinguishable. 



Ellopia (Therina) phantoma, sp. nov. (PI. I, Fig. 12). 



Thorax and primaries pale ochreous, the latter rather thinly scaled and 

 very faintly dark sprinkled, with smoky purple discal dash and two prominent 

 thick cross lines of same color, the inner bent outward at costa and then gently 

 oblique to middle of inner margin, the outer oblique from costa to vein 4 and 

 then curved gently inward to inner margin rather close to inner line; fringes 

 rather smoky; outer margin slightly angled at vein 4; secondaries still paler 

 ochereous, unsprinkled, with outer line of primaries continued but more faintly, 

 outer margin rounded. Beneath pale, immaculate, with markings of primaries 

 showing through. Expanse 27-29 mm. 



Habitat : White Mts., Arizona. 2 5 . Types, Coll Barnes. 



We had wrongly identified this species as laeta Hist, but as this 

 has proved to be the same as our flavilinearia there is apparently no 

 name available for the present species which seems to differ consid- 

 erably from any described N. American Ellopia species. 



Sicya olivata sp. nov. ( PI. I, Fig. 10) . 



Head and thorax pale yellow ; primaries pale yellow marbled and suffused 

 with olivaceous especially prominent in the median area on the inner side of 

 the cross lines ; t. a. line inwardly oblique, white, slightly bent below costa, bor- 

 dered outwardly by an olivaceous shade line ; black discal dot ; t. p. line subpar- 

 allel to t. a. line with a slight angle on vein 4 between which vein and costa it 

 is less oblique than in lower portion reaching costa shortly before apex; on 

 inner side at costa a narrow triangular dull reddish shade with a central yellow 

 streak on costa; beyond the t. p. line the whole outer area from inner margin 

 to vein 3 is whitish shaded with pinkish, this area gradually narrowing above 

 vein 3 to a point at intersection of t. p. line and vein 6; the apical terminal area 

 rather bright yellowish; fringes yellow, reddish just below apex of wing; sec- 

 ondaries whitish at base, shading into salmon color outwardly with very faint 

 discal dot and curved faintly geminate post-median line most distinct above inner 

 margin where it is rather broad and purplish, otherwise salmon colored. 

 Beneath primaries pale orange-pink, shaded with yellow apically, with markings 

 of upper side repeated ; secondaries much as above, less smooth in appearance, 

 the cross line being emphasized by dots on the veins and distinctly geminate at 

 inner margin. Expanse 30 mm. 



Habitat: Jemez Spgs., N. Mex. (Sept.) 1 $. Type, Coll. Barnes. 



Rather similar to Sicya neda Druce (Biol. PI. 45, Fig. 10) but 

 differing in the maculation of secondaries; the olivaceous shading 

 of primaries should readily distinguish the species from our other 

 N. American forms.
