Khododipsa Aden n. sp. 



Head and thorax yellow. Abdomen black or smoky with anal segment yellow. Primaries, ground color white. Basal and sub- 

 terminal spaces and median shade much the same purplish crimson as in Da.<^itipouckn Lvcens, but not so bright, more tinged or mixed 

 with grayish, especially on the subterminal and terminal spaces. The discal spot small and obscured and enveloped in the red shade that 

 almost fills the median space. The primaries have somewhat the general appearance of D. Lucens, but the contrast between the red and 

 white is not so decided, they are more blurred and running into each other in the present species ; the t. a. line in this runs almost 

 straight from inner margin to costa; the fringe fuscous. Secondaries entirely smoky black. Fringe fuscous on outer half of wing, 

 inclining more and more to yellow from thence to the inner margin. 



Expands | inch. One example from Colorado, where it wa.s captured by Doll, from whom I received it. 

 Acontia Areli n. sp. 



Head blacki.sh brown, body pure white. Primaries, basal third white, the t. a. faint brown and double, interior to this several 

 other faint-colored abbreviated lines. Orbicular outlined by a fine black line. Outer two-thirds of wing purplish brown, variegated in 

 various lighter and darker shades. T. p. line much broken, not very distinguishable. S. t. white and very irregular. A large milk- 

 white triangular spot on costa. Reniforra round, steel blue ringed, ami pupilled with black. Midway between the orbicular and the 

 inner margin, within the dark two-thirds outer space, is a conglomeration of blue and black scales forming a sort of broken ocellus. A 

 fine black marginal line slightly broken by the veins. Fringe is brown at apex, then white, then brown, then largely white, and finally 

 again brown at inner angle. Secondaries white with slight brown shading at exterior margin. Fringe white. 9 like the i^, excepting 

 that the secondaries are smoky. 



Types, two c?c? from New Mexico and one ? from Arizona, latter taken by Morrison, from whom I 

 received them. Same size and build as Aprica, to which it is nearest, though otherwise quite different. 



Acontia Gonella n. sp. 



Head and thorax dark brown. Abdomen brown, beneath white. Primaries white, basal third dark shining olivaceous brown, 

 same as back of thorax, within this is a large white patch extending from costa to about the discoidal vein. A white median space 

 very narrow below the discal cell, but from thence widening until it takes in the small reniforra. The orbicular indicated by a black 

 dot. Outer two-thirds of the wing shining dark brown with a large white patch at inner angle which extends over the fringe. A large 

 white spot on the costa. A row of black marginal points. Fringe dark at and near apex. Secondaries pale fuscous, darkest at 

 exterior margin. Fringe white. 



Expands | inch. One ? from Doll, taken in Arizona. 

 The build and size of Candefada, but has more the style of ornamentation of Augustipennis. 



Agropliila Velata n. sp. 



Head and body olivaceous yellow. Primaries mainly shining reddish brown ( rust-colored \ a yellowish basal space. A large 

 costal space of same color which takes in the reniforra and extends to the orbicular, which latter is small, dark, and round. A 

 yellowish white triangular costal subapical mark. Between the reniform and the inner margin and extending diagonally to the inner 

 angle is a continuation of the large pale median costal space, but it is here suffused with fuscous, its edges alone margined by white lines. 

 A fine white marginal line which, however, does not r.ach quite to either the apex or inner angle. Fringe, inner two-thirds black, 

 apical part brown and pale yellow. Secondaries white, shading into fuscous towards the exterior margin. Fringe brown, 

 exteriorly white. 



Expands xs inch. Two examples from Boll taken near Dallas, Texas. 



Syueda Nigroniarginata n. sp. 



Head and body above pale fawn-color, beneath white. Primaries marked and colored almost as in Tejonim. Secondaries rosy 

 pink merging into vphite towards the base. .\ black marginal band extending from a point near the inner angle .and gradually widening 

 until it reaches the costa, where it is one-third the width of the wing; within this band, about the middle, is a large inverted lune of 

 the rosy ground color, the two ends or horns of which extend to the exterior edge of wing. A small black discal mark. Fringe white. 

 Under surface, primaries white, costa tinged with pink. A broad black band occupies the whole space between the subterminal line and 

 edge, connected with this near the inner angle is a black mesial band which extends obliquely to the costa. Fringe white with black at 

 nervures. Secondaries tinged with pink, white at base. The broad black marginal band of upper side is repeated, but with a faint 

 shadowy suggestion of the lunate mark. Fringe white, black in the middle. 



Expands 1| inches. Type, one example taken in Arizona by Doll, from whom I received it. 

 Though bearing considerable resemblance to several of its congeners, it can at once be distinguished from 

 all other species b}- the solid broad black marginal band of under side. 



Syneda Decepla n. sp. 



Head and body above pale ochraceous almost white, beneath pure white. Primaries very nearly as in the preceding species and 

 Tqonieii, but brighter, more of a yellow, less of a brownish tint on the pale parts. Secondaries pure white with a bright yellow spot in 

 the centre of wing exterior to the small black discal mark. A broad black marginal band the same as in Nigromarginala and like that 

 ■enclosing an inverted lune, which in this case, however, is bright yellow like in Dedncta. Fringe white, between veins 2 and 4 black. 

 "Undersurface white. Primaries have a broad black marginal band enclosing a whitish spot at inner angle, and an elongated one of 

 mixed black and white extends from between veins 4 and 5 nearly to the apex, where the black prevails. An oblique curved median 

 line or band is connected with the marginal band at its inner edge at vein 2, and extends thence obliguely to vein 7, from thence to 

 costal edge it is indicated by a few black marks. Fringe white with black at veins. Secondaries with a broad black band as in Nigra- 

 margimita, within which are two connected inverted white lunes. Fringe white with black between veins 2 and 4. 



Expands 1| inches. Type, one c?, Colorado, received from Bruce. 



Although the white secondaries with the bright yellow mark in margin and the whole general appearance 

 would suggest Deducta, it is nevertheless a close ally to 1 ejonica Stretchii, &c. One point will easily separate it 

 from Deducta, which is that the t. a. line which in the latter is elbowed inwardly, in our species is just the 

 reverse.
