ally, with the maculation of upper side (when present) partly visible; a faintly 

 ruddy discal dot; secondaries very pale creamy, slightly tinged with ruddy but 

 less so than on upper side ; a very faint ruddy discal dot ; fringes on both wings 

 checkered as above. Expanse 28-30 mm. 



Habitat: Camp Baldy, San. Bern. Mts., Calif. (June, July). 8 $,8 9. 

 Types, Coll. Barnes. 



This variable species is readily distinguished from macularia by 

 its deep yellow color and less prominent bulge of outer margin below 

 apex of primaries ; it flies together with macularia lezvisi which leads 

 us to the conclusion that it is a good species and not a form of macu- 

 laria. The $ genitalia (PI. XXXII, Fig. 7) are very similar to 

 those of macularia. 



Ellopia jacularia sp. nov. (PI. XXVIII, Fig. 1). 



Front and fore part of thorax as well as the extreme base of primaries 

 deep chrome-yellow ; remainder of thorax and wings dull ocherous, heavily 

 sprinkled with smoky atoms and crossed by two dark lines, accentuated on 

 veins by blackish dots; t. a. line upright, indistinct at costa where it probably 

 is angled, shaded inwardly with chrome-yellow; t. p. line distinct, very gently 

 sinuate with an outward chrome yellow shade; this chrome yellow color, as 

 well as the lines themselves, tends to become obsolete, leaving only the dark 

 dots on the veins ; outer margin of primaries scarcely angled at all at vein 4, 

 that of secondaries rounded. Secondaries with the outer line of primaries 

 continued as an oblique dark line, obsolete between costa and vein 6, shaded 

 outwardly with chrome-yellow. Beneath unicolorous pale ocherous, somewhat 

 hyaline smoky toward base of wings with light sprinkling of smoky atoms. 

 Expanse 35-38 mm. 



Habitat: Jemez Spgs., N. Mex. (Apr.) 8 $. Types, Coll. Barnes. 



Allied to vitraria Grt. but much larger and with differences in 

 the $ genitalia which we figure (PI. XXXII, Figs. 1, 2) ; in jacularia 

 the spined area of the Aedoeagus is wanting and the asymmetrical right 

 branch of the Furca is shorter and broader; the species is also appar- 

 ently close to axion Druce but this latter, according to the figure in the 

 Biologia, shows no black points on the veins. 



Ellopia fervidaria Hbn. 



The species figured by Packard in his Monograph as fervidaria 

 (PI. XII, Fig. 3) is apparently without a name; it is not the true 

 fervidaria which according to Hubner's figure (Zutr. Ex. Schm. Fig. 

 409) has both wings rounded and not angled at vein 4 in the $ sex; 

 apart from the fact that it is rather smokier in color and shows no 

 orange edging to the lines it very closely resembles pultaria Gn. (scitata 

 Wlk.) the type of which is figured by M. Oberthur in Etudes de Lep.
