scales, the lower third of this light line having a wavy 

 line of black scales. A lighter shade extends from 

 the costa, just inside the t. p. line obliquely to the sub- 

 terminal line. Terminal lunules black, veins between 

 the lunules with black scales, fringes marked with a 

 double line of black. 



Secondaries light orange, slightly reddish, some- 

 what like ilia, but not as reddish. Border broad at 

 the apex as in ilia but more regular and diminishing 

 toward the inner margin. Median band broad, some- 

 what irregular and diminishing about one-half, 

 not quite reaching the inner margin. Fringes white or 

 whitish, turning to gray near the inner margin. 



Under side of the primaries white and black. The 

 upper third of the secondaries white, below the up- 

 per radial vermilion, to the inner portions. 



In the systematic arrangement this species belongs 

 near unijuga. Holotype 1 $ in the author's collection. 



Locality, Vineyard, Utah, Aug., 1916. 



Catocala reiffi n. sp. Expands 2^ to 2}i 

 inches. Ground color of primaries gray, sprinkled 

 with brown ; markings quite distinct. Thorax gray, 

 with brown scales, collar lappett and pantagium edged 

 with black, abdomen yellowish brown. A small tuft 

 on the second segment of the abdomen, followed by 

 a smaller one on third segment. Basal line indistinct, 

 basal dash heavy but short. 



The t. a. line black, irregularly wavy, heavy at 

 the costa, becoming less prominent at the internal 

 margin, where it encloses a small more or less indis- 

 tinct white spot. Dark scales between the basal dash 

 on the middle of the t. a. line produce a clouded ef- 

 fect. Reniform with center of black and brown 

 scales edged with white. Two black spots on the 

 costa above the reniform, the anterior one being con- 

 nected with the reniform; sub-reniforni light in type 

 but less conspicuous in co-types. 



T. p. line prominent in the upper half, less distinct 

 toward the inner margin, and does not quite reach 

 the costa. Scales posterior to the reniform are 

 clouded and the veins black. Lighter scales extend 

 to the t. p. line from the angle to the costa.
