 tance with exterior margin, terminating at median nervules, where it is 

 sharpened inwardly. An irregular shade, split by a black line, along

 along abdominal margin and anal angle of straw yellow, thence along 

 exterior margin strongly intermixed with black.

Dedicated to Capt. Gamble Geddes, of Toronto, who last season 

 braved the inconveniences of a three months' sojourn in the Athabasca 

 region, in order to enrich our science. 



This beautiful insect was seen years ago by my friend, Mr. Hy 

 Edwards, in a collection in Vancouver, but the superstitious possessor 

 would not allow Mr. Edwards to make a description of it. Thus it 

 has fallen to me to be the first one to describe it. 



Halesidota minima, n. sp. 



Head, thorax, patagiae, abdomen pale, ochreous, hairy. Legs pale 

 ochreous. 



Primaries brownish, intermixed with ochreous tint. Maculations at 

 base, along costa and at apices pale ochreous. Three irregular, un- 

 dulating, transverse shadings from costa to inner margin; the two an- 

 terior ones accompanied by a row of irregular dots. The shading is 

 the darkest around ochreous, basal maculation, and along exterior 

 margin. One large, oblong, ochreous spot resting on costa, not far 

 from base, followed by two, and more anteriorly towards apex, by three 

 irregular, transparent spots, the latter being the start, of the central 

 transverse shading. Fringes brownish. 



Secondaries immaculate, creamish white with concolorous fringes. 



Beneath the markings on primaries are faintly reproduced, the ochre- 

 ous tint at base and of anterior transverse shading more pronounced. 



Expanse of wings, 31 mm. 



Length of body, 6 mm.

This is the smallest of our Halesidotas, and, in appearance, the 

 nearest relative to our H. Caryoe.
