ian band, which forms a wide curve and is indented on the fold, 

 below which there is a shorter and thicker white band to internal 

 margin. This white median band is followed by black scales, di- 

 lates on costa, where the black shadings on either side of it are 

 more obvious. Median and basal spaces white ; inner line, bent 

 on cell, running inwardly obliquely below to internal margin. 

 Hind wings white at base, with a black basal line, a median black 

 line, a little uneven and joined to the black discal point ; beyond 

 the wing is again narrowly white before a yellowish fuscous dark- 

 edged band, not quite attaining costa. On the white terminal 

 space a black, irregular line, broken towards anal angle. Edge of 

 the wing yellowish fuscous. Beneath fuscous, the lines feebly 

 reflected. Expanse i8 mil. Hab. Wise, in Sept., Mr. Westcott. 



Oligostigma OBSCURALIS, n. S. 



Agrees with y3/(5'^/zi' in having no ocelli, in the elongate wings 

 and pattern of ornamentation. Fore wings thickly sprinkled with 

 fuscous, the median lines obliterate. The outer line indicated 

 by a pale, indistinctly continuous, costal included shade. A 

 straight, interrupted, dark-brown line before the edge, continued 

 to internal margin. Hind wings white, crossed by two even sub- 

 parallel fuscous lines, the outer the broader, the latter followed 

 by a narrow white space before a terminal ochre stripe along the 

 margin, edged by fine broken brown lines. Beneath, dull and 

 pale. Head and thorax above dark fuscous. Expanse, 22 mil.

TORIPALPUS TRABALIS, n. S. 



$ 2 Specimens from Colorado registered under this name 

 in my collection, are much larger than Brevior?iatalis from Texas 

 and Carolina. The inner line on primaries is more uneven. The 

 outer line is denticulate, and strongly so below the median vein. 

 The color is more brown and white. The female antennje are 

 simple; the male pectinate with basal tufts. Expanse, 31 mil. 

 This form, while resembling its ally, is very different at first sight, 

 from its greater size and contrasting colors, the median space of 

 the wings distinctly powdery white anteriorly. Four specimens 

 examined. 



Nephopteryx scintillans, n. s. 



Hind wings 8-veined. Three internal veins. Median vein 

 4-branched ; cell closed by a fold. Vein 2 thrown off before ex- 

 tremity of cell opposite the apex of the angulate fold ; .5 running 

 closely alongside of 4 and touching it just before the point of 

 origin of 3 ; 6 to external margin just below apices ; 7 and 8 sep- 

 arate to costa near apices. Fore wings ii-veined ; cell straightly 

 closed ; 4 and 5 close together at base ; 6 nearer to seven than to 

 5 ; 8 out of 7, both to costa beyond apices ; 9 and 7 near together 

 at base from s. c. vein ; 11 from the vein well within the cell ; 10
