Tricholita Sj-rissia n. sp. 



Head, thorax, and primaries very nearly the same color as Uydracia Niclitans. T. a. and t. p. lines indistinct, the space between 

 these is a shade darker than the basal or subterimnal areas, terminal space also darker. A conspicuous white ovate reniform crossed in 

 middle by a scarcely noticeable reddish double line. Secondaries brownish with a faint mesial shade, between which and the exterior 

 margin the wing is darkest. Fringe paler. 



Expands IJ indies. One example, taken near Chicago, 111. 



Without close examination this might easily be mistaken for the variety of Bydrcecia Nictilans having 

 the white reniform. 



liCucaiiia 9Iiiiiica n. sp. 



Resembles in size and general appearance Commoides, to which it is undoubtedly nearest, but differs therefrom in having three 

 dark lines across the collar instead of one. In the veins of primaries not being conspicuously white as in Commoides. In only dark 

 dash or line being the basal one, and in the discoidal cell being brown. Secondaries are white. 



One example, taken by Bruce in Colorado, furnished the type. 



IIy«lroccia I>atia n. sp. 



Head rust brown. Thorax same color but not as dark, abdomen paler. Primaries, color much the same as in Marginidens. 

 T. a. line purplish and indistinct. T. p. line extending straight across the wing from costa to inner margin is heavy, and dark purplish. 

 Median line, which is also dark, is straight from inner margin to median vein, thence it bends inwardly to the costa. S. t. line sinuate. 

 Subterminal space of a purplish tint. Veins in the terminal space marked with purple. Reniform white with a few rust-colored scales. 

 Orbicular white, round, and very small. Secondaries white tinged with reddish. 



Expands 1| inches. The single type was taken near Chicago, 111. 



A large species not closely allied to any other and easy to identify by the heavy dark t. p. line. 



Ortliocles Akalii»< n. sp. 



Head, body, and primaries brown of much the same shade as Cremdtila, Butl. Primaries, t. a. double and tripartite, t. p. blurred 

 and pale, and is curved inwards at the costa. A well-defined s. t. line from which to exterior margin the space is darker brown. A 

 darker shading is also interior to the t. p. Emanating from the t. p. from its inner margin are four dark sagittate dashes, the two middle 

 ones elongated, the inner and outer ones small. Reniform obscure and shaded over with darker brown. C'laviform slightly outlined, 

 but no indications of an orbicular. A paler marginal line succeeded by the brown fringe. Secondaries smoky with indistinct discal 

 lune. Fringe very pale brown. 



Ex])ands 1 ^ inches. One example, the type, was taken in Colorado by Bruce. 



Tlii.s comes nearer perhaps to Irrorata, J. B. S., than any other, but is a larger insect with proportionally 

 longer, narrower primaries. 



Sabiilo<le!4 Xoiiaiigiilata n. sp. 



Color much the same .as Dnsilhecda, Gn. Primaries have a basiil line indicated by some dark atoms, an outer line formed mainly 

 by black dots on the veins e.xtends from inner margin to the apex but is somewhat irregular. Costal dots and shade from base to apex. 

 The exterior part of wing a shade darker, as is also a band interior to the transverse line. A minute discal spot. Secondaries crossed by 

 a line of ncrvular dots, interior to which is a broad mesial band a shade darker than the rest of the wing, also a broad marginal band of 

 same tint. 



Expands IJ- inches. Type, taken near Dallas, Texas by Boll, from whom I received it about twenty 

 years since. This is easy to distinguish from Dositheata, Gn. {^Egrotata, Gn.), by the wings being so slightly 

 .angulated as to be noticeable only on sharp inspection. 



nictaiiciiia Vaiiiisaria n. sp. 



Color pale ochrcous nearly as in the lighter examples of Clmrndes Tranxversala, to which it bears some superficial resemblance. A 

 transverse pale line, shaded slightly on its inner edge, crosses all wings, mesially on the secondaries, and on the primaries continued 

 from the inner base one fourth from the inner angle to within a short distance of the apex, where it is joined to a rather conspicuous 

 triangular brown spot ; another brfiwn somewhat oval spot interru|its it near the inner margin, where there are also a few indistinct brown 

 atoms. On secondaries is a broken line formed of brown atoms extending from anal angle to about vein 3. All wings with a minute 

 black discal spot. 



Expands IJ inches. The single type from New Mexico I received from Mr. A. S. Fuller. 



Eiidropia Aiiiotliy.staria n. sp. 



Dark shining re<ldisli ochieoua. Wings crossed with angulated lines as in the larger II)/pochraria, the space between these lines 

 and the exterior margin has a slight grayish sheen, .smooth and immaculate. Thesp-ace interior to the lines more inclined to yellowish 

 and finely mottled with abbreviated sti i;e. A ditluse basal line or shade on primaries. Small discal spots on all wings. Under surface, 

 the lines are sharper, not dillused as above, the space interior to them bright orange yellow minutely striated, that exterior with a slight 

 purplish tinge and much paler than on upper surface. 



Expands IJ inches. The type I received sixteen years since from Doll, who took it in Florida. There 

 is on the upper side of this insect nothing sharply defined, but the lines are diffuse and everything has a 

 blurred appearance; beneath, it is the contrary.
