The species is very close to our grandimacula from Arizona, dif- 
fers in the subterminal white shading and lack of black dash on vein 4 
from reniform outwardly; it may prove to be merely a geographical 
race of this species. The tufting on abdominal segments is not typical 
of the genus Oxycnemis as defined by Hampson, but we do not for the 
present care to erect a new genus based on this feature; the other 
structural details agree with Orycnemis. Figured in Vol. II, No. 1 
of our Contributions. 
LEUCOCNEMIS SUBTILIS sp. noy. (Pl. V, Fig. 13). 
Palpi, head, and base of collar deep chocolate brown, collar whitish 
sprinkled with olive, thorax and primaries rather pale gray-brown, sprinkled 
with white; basal half-line single, black; t. a. line single, black, bent slightly at 
costa, then rigidly outwardly oblique; claviform large, oval, outlined in black, 
either resting on t. a. line, connected with it by a short dash, or entirely separate ; 
orbicular round, outlined in black, variable in size, usually large; reniform large, 
oval, not constricted; a faint median shade line passes between the two spots 
and is continued as a sinuate line to inner margin close to t. p. line; t. p. line 
black, single, outwardly oblique from costa to beyond reniform and often touch- 
ing apex of same, curving around reniform and usually touching base, then 
sinuate to inner margin; s. t. line rather faint, indicated by white scaling, pre- 
ceded by slight dark dashes which may be obsolete, slightly dentate and irregu- 
lar; black dash from middle of reniform to s. t. line; veins terminally slightly 
outlined in black; a black terminal line; fringes slightly checkered. Secondaries 
white, with faint dotted subterminal line and apical dark shade extending down- 
ward along outer margin at times; terminal dark line not attaining anal angle; 
fringes white. Beneath primaries smoky; secondaries much as above. Expanse 
é 25 mm., Q 27 mm.

4 6,5 2. Types, Coll. Barnes. 
Very close to sectilis Sm. of which species we have two specimens 
before us. True sectilis is pale ‘ashen gray” in color, our species 
much darker, being gray-brown; in sectilis the dark dash from reni- 
form to s. t. line is wanting and the subterminal area is almost uniform 
in coloration without s. t. line; the t. p. line in sectilis is slightly angled 
inwardly on vein 1, as may be seen in Smith’s figure; in our species it 
is straighter. The relative positions of spots and lines are rather 
variable.
