on their approximate sides with smoky shades; this race appears to 

 extend southward along the borders of Arizona and New Mexico 

 as far as the White Mts. ; we have received a series of specimens from 

 Paradise, Cochise Co., Ariz, which differ from the typical form in 

 having the primaries a light olivaceous with a tinge of salmon-color 

 especially in the $ 's which further show a slight dark sprinkling ; 

 the cross lines are distinct, pale ochreous with scarcely a trace of 

 dark shading ; there is also a tendency in the 5 's for them to ap- 

 proach each other more closely at the inner margin than in the nimo- 

 typical form; the secondaries are whitish, shading into olivaceous 

 outwardly, with scarcely a trace of a cross line; the discal dots are 

 small and sometimes absent, especially on secondaries. We prefer 

 to consider this a race of excelsa rather than a new species and propose 

 the name olivata, our types being 3 $ 's, 7 9 's from Paradise, Ariz.

Sabulodes sericeata sp. nov. (PI. XXVIII, Fig. 4). 



Thorax and primaries pale yellowish, the latter silky and very faintly 

 sprinkled with smoky; cross lines distinct, brown; t. a. line rather far out, 

 curved below costa; t. p. line in general course oblique, slightly bent at costa. 

 Secondaries paler than primaries with a faint curved postmedian line. Be- 

 neath paler than above, both wings with a dotted postmedian line which on 

 primaries is nearer outer margin than the t. p. line of upper side except at 

 costa. Expanse $ 31 mm., 2 35 mm. 



Habitat: Paradise, Cochise Co., Ariz. (Aug. Sept.). 1 $,2 2. Types, 

 Coll. Barnes. 



The species seems allied to matrona Druce.
