of Tarachidia and has a superficial resemblance to Chrysoscia scira 

 Druce with which, but for the fact that veins 3 and 4 of secondaries are 

 stalked, we should have been inclined to associate it. 



Tarachidia albitermen sp. nov. (PI. Ill, Fig. 6). 



Head and thorax creamy, abdomen pale ochreous ; primaries olivaceous 

 brown overlaid by sparse white scales (in the 9 the ground color is yellower) ; 

 the terminal area is narrowly whitish tapering toward apex, broadest in sub- 

 median fold (in 9 of even width throughout) ; orbicular a dark dot, reni- 

 form faintly indicated by an obscure shade below which in $ traces of a 

 dark t. p. line are visible ; a terminal dark line of dots ; secondaries whitish, 

 somewhat suffused with smoky. Beneath creamy, rather shiny; primaries 

 partly suffused with smoky. Expanse 23 mm. 



Habitat : Paradise, Cochise Co., Ariz. ( $ ) ; Palm Springs, Riverside Co., 

 Calif. (9). 1 $, 1 9. Types, Coll. Barnes. 



The species is larger than its near ally, modesta Hy. Edw. ; the 

 white shaded terminal area is quite distinctive. In connection with 

 this genus we might note that the species bicolorata B. & McD„ (Contr. 

 I, (5) p. 26) was erroneously described under Tortricidia, a lapsus 

 calami for Tarachidia. 



Euaontia clarki sp. nov. (PI. Ill, Fig 14). 



Head and thorax whitish ochreous; primaries whitish or creamy heavily 

 shaded subterminally with brown or reddish-brown ; a small basal dark spot 

 on costa ; t. a. line about one-fourth out, dark brown, gently curved, thickened 

 somewhat at costa and in submedian fold ; t. p. line rather nearer base than usual, 

 about the centre of the wing, in general parallel to t. a. line, forming a prom- 

 inent outward projection in the cell and bent inward in the fold, the en- 

 closed area between the lines forming a broad whitish band crossing the wing; 

 beyond the t. p. line the submarginal area is almost entirely deep brown, at 

 times with a decided reddish tinge and a little whitish suffusion; the reni- 

 form is faintly marked on this area as a bluish-black patch; the outer margin 

 of this area is formed by an irregular white s. t. line, rather diffuse outwardly 

 and bent in prominently opposite cell and in submedian fold; terminal space 

 more or less smoky shaded ; prominent terminal broken dark line ; fringes white ; 

 secondaries white, slightly smoky terminally, more so in 9 than in $ . Beneath 

 white with the maculation of primaries showing faintly from upper side. 

 Expanse 20 mm. 



Habitat: Palm Springs, Riverside Co., Calif. 1 $,3 9. Types, Coll.

We take much pleasure in naming this pretty species, which is 

 closely related to semirufa B. & McD., after Mr. B. Preston Clark of 

 Boston, Mass., through whose kind offices we have secured a very
