Ilaclena I.nila n. sp. 



Above the licaj ami thorax are black sprinkled with white, the scapulae and patagiie with deep black marginal lines and edged 

 narrowly with white. Abdomen blackish gray, paler towards thorax. Primaries black and blackish gray sparsely sprinkled with 

 white atoms. All the lines more or less sharply defined by pore white. Kenif<irni and orbicular conspicuous, white pupilled with dark 

 grav. A marginal row of small, intensely black sagittate marks. Fringe black with white at terminations of the veins. Secondaries 

 white with a faint cloudy submarginal line, and some black scales at and near the apex, a small discal spot and black marginal line. 

 Fringe black, terminally white. 



Expands 1 J inches. One example from Seattle, Wash.-' 



This is a beautiful and conspionoiis insect, its only two colors black and white, and the sharply defined 

 markings give it a striking and handsome apjjearance. 



Iladena DIoileiia n. sp. 



Head and thorax blackish gray, palpi, collar, and patagi.-e on edges with an intermixture of paler scales. Primaries dark brown 

 or black and white intermixed. A short basal streak. T. a. and t. p. lines double, formed each of two fine black lines with pale gray or 

 sordid white lietween theui. The s. t. dentate and conspicuously white, between the veins on its inner edge it is joined by black sagitt^ite 

 marks, and is also shaded exteriorly more or less with black. A row of black marginal lunules. A clean white line separates the 

 brown fringe from the edge of wing. Orbicular and reniforni large, pale, and outlined with black. Median space from vein 2 to the 

 inner margin darker than the rest of the wing. C'laviform indicated. Secondaries white, a faint smoky mesial line and marginal shading 

 and a discal point. Fringe what is left of it appears to be white. 



Exjiands H inches. One example, the type, from Loveland, Colorado, This species is nearest a Z)uc/a 

 Grote. 



Iladona Satiiia n. sp. 



Body, head, and primaries brown somewhat the shade of Lalerilia, but not as dark. T. a. line dark brown. T. p. geminate. S. t. 

 pale and very indistinct. Reuiform obscure and paler than the rest of wing. Secondaries dirty whiie with exterior half and 

 fringe smoky. 



Expands If inches. Type, one example taken in 1873 in Anticosti Island by W. Couper. 

 This insect is nearest to Lateritia and Dubilans {Spulatrix) but is a smaller species and otherwise 

 quite different. 



Polia Saiii^ar n. sp. 



Head, thorax, and primaries even ashen gray. Abdomen and secondaries paler and more inclined to fuscous. No markings on 

 head and body. Primaries, biisal line only noticeable at the costa. T. a. line distinct and brown. C'laviform outlined with brown, as is 

 also the small orbicular and the reniform. T. p. plain, but not conspicuous. 8. t. deeply and irregularly dentate and heavily shaded 

 exteriorly with dark brown. \ row of black marginal dots. Fringe gray. Secondaries with a large obscure discal mark, a faint mesial 

 line, a dark marginal line, and pale gray fringe. 



Expands 2 inches. Type, one example from Seattle, Wash. 



Cleoceris Popnii n. sp. 



Ground color yellowish white. Collar edged with a black line. Patagia' have a dark gray edging. Basal line extends to sub- 

 median vein. T. a. barely denoted by a few gray scales. T. p. line geminate but only marked on the veins, .-\long the costa between 

 the t. a. and t. p. lines some scattered gray scales. Reniform and orbicular outlined with very pale yellow and pupilled with a few 

 gray scales. S. t. scarcely defined. At the inner angle a dark gray spot, as is also at and near the costa exterior to the t. p. line. A 

 marginal row of black points. Fringe white. Secondaries white with, a faint discal mark, a row of black marginal points and 

 white fringe. 



Expands 1^ inches. One example, the type taken near Loveland, Colorado. 



I have but ti)is single example and my description is of course taken from it alone, but Prof J. B. Smith 

 tells me he has eight or ten specimens and that they show a very great range of variation, no two being alike. 

 In some there is a tendency to form an almost rigidly straight median shade which may be narrow and black, 

 or may be diffuse and broad, taking up most of the median space. However, there is nothing with which this 

 species can conflict, hence it should not be difKcult to recognize. Further, Prof. Smith says that the insect had 

 been bred by Mr. Niswander at Laramie and that it was quite destructive to the cottonwood, that the larvfe 

 curl the leaf as do the leaf-rollers, sallying out at stated periods to feed, and that it fed on Populus. 



llydrceoia ^Kelita n. sp. 



At first glance might be taken for a small yilela, but it is a darker, warmer color, more towards a rich chestnut. The t p. is not 

 so conspicuous and is much more upright, and its course is rather from the costa outwardly oblique than inwardly oblique. One ex- 

 ample has the space from the base to t. p. chestnut brown, exteriorly the t. p. is .tccompanied by a bro.-id paler ashen shade, beyond 

 which the brown again prevails. In another the whole wing is brown, the t. p. only being discernible on the closest inspection. 

 Beyond what I have mentioned the difference between this and S^itda excepting size are not very marked. 



Expands 1 inch. Types, two examples from Chicago, Illinois. 



Orthodes I mora n. sp. 



This is almost identical in the colors of all the parts with Amp. Tragopoginh, and having the same silky lustre prevailing in that 

 insect. There is a very small grayish white discal spot on primaries, and under a glass may be discerned the faintest suggestion of the 

 transverse lines, otherwise there is no ornamentation. 



Expands 1| inches. One example, the type taken near Racine, Wisconsin.
