Endropia Juciindaria n. sp. 



Size and shaped much as Armalaria, H. — S. Color slate gray. Primaries, a not very distinct inner line. A broad, extra-discal 

 shade coming abruptly to a point on the costa, exterior and interior to which, as also along the costa, are some scattered white scales. A 

 deep black lunate mark on the exterior margin below the apex, and a small triangular one at the inner angle. Secondaries with a 

 mesial shade darkest towards its basal edge, on each side of this are some scattered white atoms. A lunate black mark on the margin 

 and a small one at the anal angle as on the primaries. Under surface, the basal half of primaries and basal third of secondaries light 

 yellow, heavily marked with rust-colored and gray striae, outer part slate gray crossed by an irregular band of scattered white stria;. A 

 rust-colored lunate spot on outer half of exterior margin. 



Expands 1| inches. A sinsjle example, the type taken near Baltimore. 

 A beautiful species, noticeable for its fine dark bluish gray color. 



Endropia Sirenaria n. sp. 



Ochreous. Primaries with an inner line composed of segregated brown scales or strise. A clean well-defined brown outer line 

 which is but slightly curved, and is edged inwardly by a narrow shade which is paler than the ground color. Between the outer line and 

 the exterior edge the wing is a darker color. A pale apical mark accompained by a dark oblique shade. On the secondaries the outer 

 line is continued and there is the same darker color between it and the outer margin. Discal dots black. A black spot on primaries 

 below the apical mark between veins .5 and 6, and another on the middle of secondaries beyond the outer line; in two examples this is 

 wanting. All wings more or less sprinkled with black atoms. Under surface has the color brighter and paler, a strong broken median 

 shade or line. On primaries the outer line not as dark as above, more diffuse, and is serrated. On the inferiors the outer line is 

 doubled, as it were, first there being a repetition of the fine straight one of upper surface, then a diffused scalloped one running parallel 

 with the exterior margin of the wing and connecting with the first line at its terminations on the costal and inner margins. Other mark- 

 ings as on upper surface. 



Expands If to If inches. Types, four d examples from Latrobe, Pa., Amherst, Mass., Leavenworth, 

 Ks., Chicago, 111. The Latrobe example is an aberration in that it is unicolorous, the space beyond the outer 

 lines being the same light color as rest of wing. The scalloped second line of under side of secondaries being 

 repeated above, and in having a large black spot near inner angle of primaries. I cannot but believe that the 

 insect No. 18, plate XII., Packard's " Geometrid Moths," which is figured as the female of Endropia Pedi- 

 naria, was taken from an example of this species. On the same plate. No. 11, is a figure of Peotinaria c? which 

 agrees with six (two d'd', four ? 9) examples in my collection, the females only diifering from the males in the 

 simple antennte. Saving this, my four females of Pectinaria agree with Packard's figure 11, and my four males 

 of the species just described agree with his figure 18. I cannot but believe that by some mistake this was 

 erroneously figured as the female of Pectinaria, as there are no points of agreement between them, the lines 

 are quite diflf'erent, the wings of the present species are not as sharply toothed, not to speak of the many minor 

 differences. 



Endropia Caiiidiaria n. sp. 



Ground color ochraceous, but all wings are densely strigated and spotted with reddish brown. Primaries, a dark brown inner 

 line which exterjds only from the costa to the discoidal vein, in the middle of the cell it is sharply elbowed outwardly. The outer line 

 extends from the inner margin to the costa, not far from the apex ; this line is zigzag, and is shaded outwardly with gray and is accom- 

 pained inwardly by a second diff'use brown line which diverges somewhat from it beyond the discoidal vein. A dark brown discal spot. 

 Secondaries with an extra discal zigzag brown line shaded outwardly on its inner half with gray. Interior to this line and to the dis- 

 coidal vein is a somewhat quadrate semi-diaphanous spot edged exteriorly with gray ; an obliterate discal mark. The shape of the 

 wings is nearly as in Hilumaria, Hulst, and the lines run much in the same way, but are zigzag and diffuse, not clear and sharp as in 

 that species, otherwise it is also widely different. 



Expands IJ inches. Type, one ? from Chihuahua, Mexico. 



Sicya Faiistinaria n. sp. 



Pale sulphur yellow. Primaries, basal part of costa edged with reddish. Inner line composed of a few inconspicuous light 

 reddish brown spots, the largest of which is at the inner margin. The outer line extends from the inner margin to vein 4, from thence 

 to costa it is represented by two small very faint spots and a larger triangular costal one not far from the apex. The space exterior to 

 this line from vein 4 to the inner margin is reddish lorown, forming a large rhomboidal patch ; the fringe is brown at this and yellow from 

 thence to the apex. A minute discal spot. Secondaries whitish, outer line extends only from inner margin to middle of wing, the space 

 beyond this abbreviated line to the exterior margin is flushed with pale reddish brown. A small darker shade at edge of exterior margin 

 near the anal angle. An almost obsolete minute discal spot. Underneath as above, but the brown marks and shading very much paler. 



Expands If inches. Three types, all 9?, Holyoke, Mass., taken by Mr. Jos. Chase, Norwich, Conn., 

 Mr. A. A. Pearson, Latrobe, Pa., Rev. Jerome Schmidt. 



A handsome and conspicuously marked species, reminding one much of .some of the species of Plagodis. 



Liycbiiosea Ruiicinaria n. sp. 



Body, head, and forewings pale ochre yellow. Primaries, a faint brown irregular inner line. Outer line is light brown, slightly 

 scalloped intervenularly, and running parallel with the exterior margin, about the same interior to it as in Hdveolariti, Hiilst. A very 

 faint straight discal bar. Secondaries yellowish white with the outer line as on primaries, but very much less pronounced.^ Beneath 

 all wings pale ochraceous, sprinkled somwhat sparsely with brown atoms. All the outer lines as above, but much more distinct on the 

 secondaries. Brown discal marks on all wings. 



Expands If inches. Type, one 9 from Colorado, taken by Doll.
