had delayed action on some of my separations until Mr. Dod 

 could have the chance to look them over, and now present 

 descriptions of those forms that I still believe are worthy of 

 specific separation. It will be noted that some of the species 

 are based on very old specimens, which had been held as 

 probable forms of others up to the present time. 



Euxoa teplia n. sp. 



Ashen gray, overlying a very pale luteous base. Head dusky. Collar 

 inferiorly whitish, tip white, intervening area deep smoky brown. 

 Primaries with all the usual 4-dentata maculation very neatly defined. 

 Costal area whitish, s. t. space whitish above. A yellowish streak in 

 sub-median interspace, beyond claviform to the t. p. line or beyond. 

 Basal line geminate, defining lines dark, included space whitish, marked 

 only through the dusky area at base of sub-median interspace. T. a. 

 line geminate, blackish, included space yellowish, with a well-marked 

 outward angle in the sub-median interspace, and a longer acute tooth 

 below vein 1. T. p. line moderately outcurved over cell, and very 

 evenly, parallel with outer margin below it ; geminate defining lines 

 broken, strongly denticulate, best marked by the included pale shade. 

 S. t. line white, only a little sinuate, moderately indented on veins 3 

 and 4 which are obviously rayed ; preceded by a series of black, some- 

 what sagittate spots. Terminal area dusky except at apex. A series 

 of black terminal lunules. A broad yellow line at the base of the gray 

 fringes. Claviform moderate or small, black edged. Orbicular ob- 

 lique, oblong, irregular, open to the costa, annulate in pale yellowish 

 or gray, filled with luteous brown. Reniform moderate in size, kidney- 

 shaped, black edged, with a pale annulus and a pale luteous filling. 

 Secondaries in both sexes white with a slight smoky tinge. Beneath 

 white, disk of primaries a little darker and with a series of dusky termi- 

 nal lunules. 



Expanse, 1.12 inches = 28 mm. 



Hab— Colorado (Bruce); Stockton, Utah, IX, 14 (Spald- 

 ing). 



One male, one female, in good condition and almost 

 exactly alike. It is rare that two specimens of different 

 sexes are so nearly alike, even when taken at one time ; but 

 here the female is from Colorado, probably near Denver, 

 taken at least a dozen years ago, while the female is from 

 Utah, taken in 1904 or 1905. The resemblance is to cinereo- 

 pallida, and with the female only at hand, I associated it with 

 that species. With both sexes at hand, teplia stands out dis-
