Ufeiis Faiinns n. sp. i 



Body and primaries same grayish brown as the other species of the genus. There are no markings of^ny description on the 

 head or body. Primaries have the veins designated by a somewhat darker tint. A pale inconspicuous t. p. line the course of which 

 is inwardly oblique to the costa. A row of marginal spots which start as black points on the margin, but extend over the fringe, wid- 

 ening as they do so to its outer edge, thus making an even serrated margin of the same color as the wing. Secondaries pure white 

 with a'very faint pale brown marginal line. 



Expands \\ inches. Ty(ie, one example from New Mexico, near the border of Chihuahua. 



Tricholita IVotata n. sp. 



Head, body, and primaries brown somewhat of the tint but much darker than in Semiaperta, and sprinkled sparsely with minute 

 white scales which gives them a somewhat heavy squamose appearance. The t. a. and t. p. lines well defined but not conspicuous, 

 space between these darker than the rest of wing. A milk white discal spot tinged with yellow on the half towards costa. Fringe same 

 dark color as median space. Secondaries brown but not as dark as the primaries. 



Expands If inches. The single type of this species I received a number of years since from E. A. 

 Dodge, who took it in Nebrasita. , 



l<encania Coniplicata n. sp. 



Is almost exactly the colorof the small species Ligafa. Veins white, spaces between them striated with gray. A small white d^cal 

 spot centred with a black point. The median nervure accompanied by a slightly darker shading which does not extend to the venular 

 row of black dots which represent the t. p. line. Subterminal space slightly darker. A pale apical mark ; a row of minute black mar- 

 ginal dots. Fringe concolorous with rest of wing. Secondaries lustrous white, slightly margined with pale gray. 



Expands 1 1\ inches. The type was captured in New Mexico near the southern border. 



Ciiciillia Alfarata n. sp. ' 



Same light gray as Luiifica and Speyeri. Collar edged and barred with darker lines. Abdomen white with a row of brown dorsal 

 tufts, the last three segments brown. T. a. line, composed of three long teeth within the middle one, is a black longitudinal line. The- 

 t. p. only noticeable from^^he inner margin of wing to vein 2, forming a deep sinus shaded with black between veins 1 and 2, from this 

 to the exterior margin at vein 2 a black line extends. The veins are shown by black. A darker shade along the costa. A dark sub- 

 apiciil shade. A row of black marginal lunules. No indication of orbicular or reniform. Secondaries white with brown marginal 

 band. Fringe white. 



Expands 1| inches. Type from St. Augustine, Florida. 



Schinia Dol©sa,,n. sp. -^ 



Is nearest to .S'. Pnckardi! Grote, but smaller and the color of primaries and thorax above less inclined to ochraceous, more of a 

 dull grayish brown, and the secondaries white instead of yellow. I have two examples which differ from each other, as do different ex- 

 amples of Paclmrdit, one with primaries and thorax of a more uniform color and lines and shades not sharply defined; the other with 

 the basal and submarginal spaces and discal spot much d^irker than the median space. The t. a. line will readily distinguish this species 

 from Packardii (of which I have twelve before me), in which it is tripartite, forming three lobes as it were, whilst in Dolosa it forms a 

 semicircle arching oirtrfrom costa to the middle of wing, thence receding in like manner until it reaches the inner margin. The t. p. is 

 fine and white. Fringe concolorous with wing. Secondaries while with a very broad even black border and a black discal spot. Fringe 

 in the pale example white, in the darker one white and fuscous. Underneath dirty white marked somewhat as in Packardii and other 

 species, but more diffused arid fuscous, not black or sharp. 



. Expands § inch and 1 inch. Both the types were received from Boll, who took them near San Antonio, 

 Texas. 



Schiuia Pyraloides n. sp. 



Head and thorax olivaceous brown, abdomen a shade paler. Primaries, basal space same color as thorax. Median space white 

 sprinkled with olivacebus, darkest at costa and towards t. p. line and inner margin, leaving it paler within the discoidal cell. Subter- 

 minal space same color as basal but darkest towards costal and inner margins, leaving a somewhat paler space between. Marginal space 

 paler like the median. , Discal spot indicated by a darker shade as in S. Marginata, the transverse lines are white and nm nearly as in 

 that species. The fringe which succeeds a tine white marginal line is formed of three lines, the first olivaceous, next white, last olivaceous. 

 Secondaries white with faint gray discal lunule and marginal border, on the inner half of which latter is a pale mark. 



Expands | inch and 1 inch. Four types from Bruce, who took them at Glenwood Springs, Colorado. 



This moth bears an astonishing resemblance to the Pyralid Asopia Farinalis, in fact so complete is the 

 mimicry that on opening the box in which they were sent, among other thing.-?, I mistook them for that insect, 

 and even after having discerned their true status, I never look at them without the phantom of the meal moth 

 obtruding itself. 



Sctainia Hanga n. sp. 



Size of Marginnia, Thormui, and Imperspicua to which it is allied. Body dull grayish brown. Primaries, median space dull 

 ochrdceous, basal and subterminal spaces grayish brown, not as dark as in Thoreaui, terminal space a shade paler. Discal spot incon- 

 spicuous, a mere shade. T. a. line white and forming irregularly the arc of a circle, whilst in all the species above mentioned it forms 

 a strong elbow. T. p. line has not the bend in the middle ne.ir as abrupt as in Manjimtta. Fringe yellowish white checkered with 

 brown intervenularly. Secondaries dirty white with a broad fuscous exterior border, within which is a pale mark from the anal angle 

 to about vein 5. Fringe fuscous, outwardly edged with white. 



Expands 1| inches. One example, the type from Dallas, Texas, received from Boll. 

 The somewhat crenulated transverse lines and checkered fringe of primaries as well as the curve of the 

 t. a. line will serve to readily separate this froiu its three nearest allies.
