and somewhat less than half the upper portion, interrupted by a narrow band at 

 t. a. line, a broad band at t. p. line over reniform, and by an irregular large blotch 

 before the s. t. line; apex also dusky. The lower half or more is smoky gray to 

 the s. t. line, leaving the hind angle white. Most of the s. t. space is white, ex- 

 cept on the costa. The terminal space is mottled with golden brown, and there 

 is a broken black terminal line. The fringes are smoky, twice Gut with creamy 

 on the outer margin and creamy at the hind angle. A somewhat obscure band 

 of golden brown scales begins at the dark s. t. spot on costa, curves inward to 

 include the reniform and then downward to the inner margin at its middle T. 

 a. line marked as a gray band over the pale upper half of the wing. T. p. line 

 marked by a broad costal band and then lost until it re-appears as a broken 

 blackish outer edging to the golden brown band. S. t. line marked as a narrow 

 white line between the dark apex and s. t. patch on costa, then lost in the creamy 

 s. t. space. The orbicular is a distinct round gray spot of moderate size just sep- 

 arated from the dusky lower portion of the wing. The reniform is a larger 

 round spot incompletely white ringed and not completely separated from the 

 dusky costal patch just above it, or from the dark inferior portion of the wing. 

 Secondaries an even, pale, glistening smoky yellow. Beneath, primaries yellow, 

 the disc smoky and with a discal spot ; secondaries very pale yellow, with darker 

 outer border. Expands .84-1.04 inches = 21-26 mm. 



Hab. — Huachuca Mountains, Arizona. 



Three females in fair condition, from Dr. Barnes. The species 

 is allied to angustipennis in general appearance and type of macula- 

 tion, but differs obviously in the pale thorax and the distinct orbicu- 

 lar. There are other marked differences, but these are the most 

 apparent and render the new form recognizable at a glance. 



Conacoiltia huachuca n. sp. — Head and collar creamy white, disc of 

 thorax leaden gray ; head with an admixture of gray scales on the vertex and 

 on the front. Primaries creamy white along the costal region nearly to the s. t. 

 line and embracing all above the median vein. Along the inner margin, starting 

 not quite at base, and extending to the s. t. line, is a deep gray shading, very- 

 jagged at its upper margin, nearly or altogether cut by an obtuse extension of 

 the white shade at its middle; indented or quite crossed by a narrow pale thread 

 at the place of the t. a. line, and by another, even more irregular beyond the t. 

 p. line. There is an apical gray patch, through which the s. t. line is obvious, 

 and a series of three patches along the outer margin, which also extend over the 

 fringes. The median lines are traceable through the pale region of the wing 

 as lemon-yellow lines. Orbicular wanting. Reniform a small yellow dot encir- 

 cled by the vaguest kind of a yellow annulus. There is a series of black termi- 

 nal lunules. or a broken black terminal line. Secondaries white, with a faint 

 yellowish tinge. Beneath, primaries distinctly yellowish, with maculation of 

 upper side feebly reproduced ; secondaries white. Expands 1.08 1.12 inches = 

 27-28 mm. 



Hab. — Huachuca Mts., Arizona (Dr. Barnes).
