Philerenie Optiiuata n. sp. 



(^ body reddish brown. Primaries divided into four distinct bands, a small gray basal one crossed by a blackish line and edged 

 exteriorly by another. This is succeeded by a broad, not very dark reddish or copper brown space devoid of marks except some fuscous 

 spots at costa. This is followed by a broad gray median space widest at costa and bent inwardly, forming an angle between veins 6 and 

 7. The edges of this space are slightly scalloped and defined by a dark line, there is also an intermediate line and accompanying shades. 

 Within this space between vein 6 and the costa is a somewhat quadrate pale brown patch. The space beyond the outer line is the same 

 copper brown as the subbasal area, with a few fuscous spots on costa and a broken white submarginal line edged with fuscous. A small 

 discalspot, a black marginal line. Fringes fuscous. Secondaries copper brown, inner half tinged with gray, a faint fuscous line crosses 

 the wing in the middle and another with indications of a third are interior to it. A faint discal spot. A black marginal line. Fringe 

 fuscous. Under surface light reddish brown with repetitions of the principal lines of upper side on the costal half of wings. Discal 

 spots black and largest on primaries. ? larger, somewhat darker colored and heavier marked. On secondaries is a submarginal 

 scalloped white line and some faint fuscous lines or shades between it and the middle line. 



The types are one ? taken near Seattle, Wash., by Prof. O. B. Johnson, and one d, one ?, by Brnce, 

 in Colorado. 



This species is the size of Meadii, Pack., or a little larger. 



Octayria Anticostiata n. sp. 



Colored much as in Dejensaria, Gn., to which it is nearest, but the wings, especially the secondaries, have somewhat of a slight 

 pinkish tinge, the primaries are not as acute. The inner line is evenly rounded outwardly, the distance from the base being the same 

 on costal and inner margins. The outer line is angled and produced in a large tooth at vein 4. The median space is rather evenly 

 brown, darker only at the inner and outer edges. A brown spot on the costa beyond the outer line. An indistinct white scalloped 

 submarginal line shaded on both sides with gray. A pale apical spot. A discal point. A black dotted marginal line. Fringe gray. 

 Secondaries crossed in the middle by a faint angulate line, interior to which (he wing is slightly darker. Marginal line and fringe as on 

 primaries. Under surface pinkish ash. At costa of primaries a few dark spots. The outer line designated obscurely. Secondaries, 

 a discal point and faint median line, between which and the exterior margin are faint traces of several more lines. 



Expands 1 inch. Types, two (?c? taken on Anticosti Island by Wm. Conper, in 1872. 



Ilydrioniena BanaTalirata n. sp. 



Body ashen white, patagia? brownish. Wings white with a very slight tendency towards ashen. Primaries, basal space white 

 with a small brown mark at costa. Subbasal area light brown edged inwardly and outwardly with a brown line, which bends inwardly 

 somewhat from the median vein at the costa, this space is white. Within this area are two irregular dark lines, forming as it were 

 confluent circles. The middle area is white and immaculate and is edged exteriorly by a brown line slightly bowed inwardly from inner 

 margin to vein 5, where it forms an angle and extends thence inwardly to the costa. This line is joined outwardly by a "light brown 

 shade which extends from inner margin to opposite the discoidal cell, where at its termination are two dark spots. Intermediate between 

 this shade and the exterior margin is a not very sharply defined brown line which extends to the apex. On this line below the apex 

 are two dark spots. On the costa between the outer line and apex are two quadrate patches formed of the white ground of the wing. 

 A row of small marginal spots. Fringe white. Secondaries with a very obscure submarginal shade. 



Expands 1 inch. The type, one 9 I received from Stretch some eighteen years since, who took it in 

 California, probably somewhere in the regions adjacent to San Francisco. 



Hydrioinena Elisata n. sp. 



Very pale ashen. Primaries, a median band somewhat irregular on its inner edge and with three large curves outwardly on its 

 exterior edge; this band is darker than the basal or outer areas, and contains two small black geminate discal dots. Outwardly from the 

 median space and parallel to it is a faint line, beyond this is a white subterminal line running parallel to the exterior margin and 

 shaded on both sides with faint ashen. Faint marginal dots. Fringe ashen white. Secondaries with slightly grayish shading 

 marginally. Faint marginal line. Fringe ashen white. Under side destitute of all markings. 



Expands 1^ inches. Type, one ^ taken near New Berne, N. Carolina. 



This insect comes somewhat near to Neomexicana, but resembles the European Ortholilha Bipunctaria, 

 Schiff., far more closely than any N. American species. 



Enpitlieoia Golgolala n. sp. 



Wings shaped as in Subapicata. Ash gray. Primaries, subbasal line only visible on the veins, where it is shown in prolonged 

 dashes. An outer line starts on the inner margin near to the subbasal line and extends obliquely and straight to vein 3, at and above 

 which it is produced in two teeth, beyond which again it is nearly straight to the costa, interior to this outer line oj^yie median space 

 the veins are dark. Exteriorly the outer line is accompanied by a fine while line. A white, regularly and deeply scaHKd submarginal 

 line runs parallel to the exterior margin and is shaded with gray on both sides. A dark marginal line. Fringe gray. ^Secondaries, two 

 faint mesial lines most noticeable at the inner margin, where they nearly join. A grayish marginal band widest at ape^^nd enclosing a 

 marginal row of obscure white spots. A marginal line. Under surface with brownish gray submarginal shades oi^Rlperiors, widest 

 near apex. Dull discal spots on all wings. 



Expands IJ inches. Type, one ? from Nevada. This is the largest species and is easy to be known 

 from all others. 



Eiipitliecia Liaisata n. sp. 



Very pale brownish ochre. Primaries, an outer and inner line formed by the pale ground, the veins interior and exterior to 

 them being more or less marked with black. A black discal spot. A row of irregular-sized black submarginal spots. An intervenular 

 black marginal line. Secondaries crossed by five lines broken by the veins and more strongly defined on inner half of wing. A discal 

 dot. A marginal line. All fringes white. 



Expands | inch. Type, one example from California, Hy. Edwards. 

 Reading, Pa., U.S.A., June 30, 1899.
