Tlioriiisi Fndiaria n. ep. 



Entirely shining silky white with a slightly yellowish tint. Antennie brown. Wings somewhat semidiaphanous. Primaries 

 are crossed by two almost straight faint brown lines, one subbasal, the other median, though nearer the base of wing than to the 

 exterior margin, with which latter it runs parallel. 



Expands ]i inches. One d, tlie type I received from the late Mr. F. B. Caulfield, who took it near 

 Montreal, Canada. 



Cicoinelrn RcIIonaria n. sp. 



Green as in [ritlariii, (in. Primaries slightly edged with reddish on the apical half of costa. A fairly broad white inner line 

 starts from middle of inner margin and runs obliquely inwards to the costa, which it strikes at two-thirds its distance from the apex, 

 thus being much nearer the base nn the costa than on the inner margin. The outer white line commences on the inner margin, one- 

 third from the inner angle, and runs in a straight line exactly parallel with and equidistant from the exterior margin until it terminates 

 on the costa. A fine reddish brown marginal line which is succeeded liy white fringe. A minute black discal point. Secondaries 

 have the outer white line of primaries continued and bent in the middle. The same dark marginal lines, white fringe, and minute 

 discal pcjint as on primaries. Under side as above, but very much paler. 



Expands IJ inches. One example from Bruce, who tooii it in Colorado. 

 IVenioria .4iiraiiticoiorata n. sp. 



Shape nearly as in Viripoxidi, (in., but secondaries not quite as much angulated. Front of hea<l brown. Body and wings uniform 

 bright ochre or orange yellow, on wings very faint paler almost indistinguishable outer lines, on the primaries curved inwardly from 

 inner margin tu vein 3, thence curved outwardly. On secondaries running parallel with the exterior margin, angled in the middle. 

 Fringes darker. Under side bright clear ochre yellow a shade lighter than above and devoid of the lines. Fringe brownish. 



Expands f inch. One example, taken by Whitfield in Florida. 

 Soliidax Coroiiaria n. sp. 



Same curious shape as the larger .V. TTcH/.sd, F. — R. Head, bod}', and wings shining gray, very much the color of Phri/ffionis 

 Cullrarid and Aryenlislriata. On primaries indications of a fine broken strongly zigzag black outer line, but this only at all visible between 

 the inner margin and vein 5. A few dark marks on the outer two-thirds of the costa. Some very tine, scarcely noticeable dark striga>. 

 Secondaries slightly striated with brown, more decidedly so near the exterior margin. Underneath, uniform pale gray with two white 

 submarginal spots on inner half of secondaries. 



Expands IJ inches. The type, one example from Kcebele, who captured it a number of years since in 

 Florida. 



Itlaoaria Teuoaria n. sp. 



Pale fawn color, powdered with fine brown scales, more so In the $. Primaries have three distinct brown lines reaching from 

 inner margin to costa, the inner one straight to the costal vein, whence it bends inwardly. A medial one nearly straight, having a slight 

 angle only at the median vein. An outer one somewhat curved inwardly between inner margin and vein 4, where it forms an obtuse 

 angle. At vein 4 is a small black spot divided into three parts, one on the line and the other two which are geminate, divided from it 

 by a tine light line. In the 9 this spot is not indicated on the line but is exterior to it and not conspicuous. On the secondaries the 

 median and outer lines, but only extending about half way frotu the inner margin. Small inconspicuous discal dot. Under surface as 

 above but the lines not as distinct, and more heavily powdered with brown scales, especially on the 9 . Secondaries rounded. 



Expands 1^ inches. Types, one cf, one 9, from Seattle, Wash. 

 Iflaoaria Aiicillaria n. sp. 



Ground white, powdered more or le.ss with brown slrig;c. Primaries with a brown inner line curved outwardly, an oblique median 

 line curved outwardly near costa, a slightly irregular outer line, bent inwardly about vein 6. A rather broad submarginal shade rim- 

 ning nearly parallel with the exterior margin. A |)aler marginal shade. A distinct dark brown marginal line cut by the veins; this is 

 succeeded by a white line and light gray fringe. An indistinct discal spot. Secondaries have the lines, etc., continued as on primaries. 

 Under side as above, but the markings instead of being grayish brown are strongly tinteij with ochraceous. 



Expands 1 inch. Type, one 9, received from Doll, who took it in Florida fifteen or more years since. The 

 wings of this species are rounded, with no tendency to angulation whatever. 



niaoaria I..api(aria n. sp. 



Primaries in nowise falcated, no indications whatever of being excavated below the apex as in Grunitata and allied species. 

 Secondaries evenly rounded, not angular. Color white. Wings sprinkled with pale brown atoms. Primaries, inner line curved out- 

 wardly, but only indicated on the veins. Median line irregular and broken. Outer line, mostly nervular, is nearly straight to vein 6, 

 whence it ben<ls at an angle towards the costa. .Ml these lines are most conspicuous at their termination on the costa. A submarginal 

 shade crosses the wing irregularly parallel with the exterior margin ; this band as well as the outer line between veins .3 and 4 are a shade 

 darker than elsewhere, forming as it were a spot ; this and the termination of the outer line at the costa are the most conspicuous 

 features. A small di.sc.il mark. .\ row of dark intcrvenular marginal dots. Secondaries have the markings of primaries more or less 

 continued. Under surface nearly as above, but with a tendency to ochreous in the markings and in the discal spots being more distinct. 



Expands^ to 1 inch. Types, two Waco, Texas, Belfrage; one Dallas, Texas, Boll ; three Chihuahua, 

 Mexico, A. Ellsworth. The Mexican ones have the dark spot or shade of the middle of the .submarginal .sjiace 

 darker and more pronounced than in the Texan examples. Thi.s in.sect is nearest to Granitata and Enotata, 

 but the plain unangulated wings effectually separates it regardless of the other marked differences.
