I have not seen the type of this species and am not aware of its 

 existence. Chambers refers this species doubtfully to the genus 

 under consideration. A specimen in my collection from St. Louis, 

 Missouri, I refer to it; the transverse strigae consisting of small 

 brown dots are very distinct. 



A . fiirvislrigella ■ n. sp. — Entirely oebreous; face paler, scales more ap- 

 pressed. Patagia in front slightly infuscate. Forewings elongate, very thinly 

 sprinkled with pale brown scales, forming fine singulations on the margins of 

 basal half of wing and more distinct on the costal than dorsal margin ; costal 

 part of base somewhat fuscous; on the costa, beyond the middle are five or six 

 conspicuous spots, which with the exception of first and second, form a curved 

 line one-third across the disc, opposite to these are some small dorsal spots and 

 between these some indistinct, transverse lines; a rather small, though distinct 

 spot at end of cell. Cilia concolorous, dividing line indistinct. Hindwings pale 

 grayish ochreous. Abdomen and legs slightly dusted with fuscous. 



Exp. 21.0 mm. ; 0.84 inch. 



Hab. — Arizona, (Phoenix). 

 Two specimens in my collection. 



A. pail (In relist n. sp. — Ochreous; second joint of labial palpi speckled ex- 

 ternally with fuscous, brush projecting foreward nearly the length of third 

 joint, the latter flattened and shorter than the second. Front smooth-scaled, 

 pale ochreous, vertex and thorax slightly intermixed with brown. Forewings 

 elongate, moderately pointed, thinly speckled with pale fuscous scales, costa at 

 base, five large costal spots from middle to apex, six smaller dorsal spots along 

 base of dorsal cilia, a large spot at end of cell, another spot midway between it 

 and the base in dorsal half of wing, a dash below the fold at one-third, all dark 

 fuscous. Cilia with median dividing line and speckled with fuscous in basal 

 half; underside of wing pale fuscous, showing marginal spots. Hindwings 

 grayish ochreous, cilia with wide subbasal line. Abdomen above somewhat 

 dusted with fuscous, sides fuscous, underside and legs very sparsely dusted with 

 darker scales. 



Exp. 13.0-17.0 mm. ; 0.52-0.68 inch. 



Hab. — Arizona (Phoenix); California (Pasadena). 



Two specimens, o and 9, in my collection. Smaller than the 

 preceding and particularly characterized by the conspicuously large 

 costal spots. Prom the following, A. confusella, with which it 

 might be confounded, it differs by its more deep, ochreous color, its 

 wider and less elongate forewings and the distinct discal spots. 



A. confusella n. sp.— Pale ochreous with satiny lustre. Palpi slightly in- 

 fuscate externally, brush rather dense and not projecting beyond joint, third 

 joint flattened, as long as the second. Vertex intermixed with grayish. Fore- 

 wings rather narrow, pointed, margins nearly straight, speckled with small brown 

 dots, forming transverse lines more or less entire ; costa at base fuscous, five dis-
