PARASTICHTIS ATROSUFFUSA sp. nov. (Pl. III, Fig. 13). 
@. Bright reddish ochre, strongly suffused with deep purple-black, leaving 
the ground color apparent only at base of wing, around the reniform, orbicular 
and claviform, and on portions of the s. t. line. Markings much as in other 
members of the group; fine black streak from base to claviform; t. a. line 
outwardly oblique with prominent inward angle on vein 1; ordinary spots out- 
lined in brown, filled with bright ochreous; orbicular irregularly oval, large, 
very oblique; reniform upright, figure-of-eight shaped, broadest at base which 
is shaded with blackish; claviform large, distinct; t. p. line crenulate, well out- 
curved around reniform; s. t. line preceded by blackish streaks, bright ochreous 
with prominent W mark. Secondaries smoky, deeper outwardly. Expanse 
48 mm. 
Hasitat. White Mts., Ariz.; Poncha Spgs. Colo. 2 9. Types, Coll. 
Barnes. 
The specimen from Colo. has been in the collection a long time, 
together with two rather battered 2 specimens from Durango, Colo. 
The receipt this year of a fresh, beautiful specimen from White Mts., 
Ariz., makes it evident that we are dealing with at least a good race, ex- 
tending through Southern Colorado along the Arizona-New Mexico 
border. The heavy blue-black suffusion of primaries is very character- 
istic. 
OXYCNEMIS ERRATICA sp. nov. 
Head and thorax olivaceous brown sprinkled with white, with a faint 
black line across collar and similar ones along upper edges of patagia; meta- 
thoracic tufts darker; abdomen with dorsal tufts on basal segments; primaries 
olive-brown, paler basally and suffused with white terminally; subcostal vein 
marked in black from base to halfway across subbasal space; a black dash 
below cell connecting with lower edge of claviform; t. a. line black, single, up- 
right, curved in slightly at costa and with inward angle below claviform; 
claviform large, semicircular, resting on t. a. line, joined to t. p. line by a faint 
black streak; orbicular and reniform large, round, subequal, outlined in black, 
scaled partially interiorly with white; t. p. line black, single, angled prominently 
outwardly below costa, then inclined inward to vein 2, touching lower portion 
of reniform in passing, forming between vein 2 and inner margin a strong even 
incurve shaded outwardly with white; subterminal space shaded with white, 
which more or less clearly defines the s. t. line; this line is very irregular, 
angled slightly outwardly below costa, almost touching outer margin at veins 3 
and 4, receding at vein 2 to t. p. line and again broadening towards inner margin, 
leaving in terminal space a triangular patch of olive brown through which a 
black dash runs from t. p. line to outer margin along vein 5; fringes checkered 
ocherous and smoky. Secondaries white, with faint smoky terminal line and 
ends of veins tipped with same color. Beneath, white, primaries sprinkled with
