heavily marked at costa and often between veins 3 and 4; beyond this line be- 
tween veins 3 and 4 is usually a diffuse dark shade or spot which extends at times 
to inner margin but never above vein 4; a terminal row of minute black dots; 
fringes concolorous with terminal area. Secondaries with the lines usually 
obsolete and the dark marginal shade merging gradually into the paler basal 
color; at times lines 2 and 3 of primaries may be continued across secondaries 
as wavy lines semiparallel to outer margin; discal spot black, distinct; terminal 
row of dark spots; fringes as on primaries. Beneath as above but the contrast 
between inner and terminal area more marked; terminal area yellower, inner 
area paler; lines, except postmedian, mostly obsolete, dark shading in terminal 
band below vein 4 usually more distinct than on upper-side and often continued 
over on to secondaries; discal spots distinct on both wings. Expanse 20-23 mm. 
Hasitat. San Benito, Texas (March-May), Brownsville, Tex. (G. Dor- 
ner). 6 &,6 2. Types, Coll. Barnes. 
A variable species but readily distinguished by the broad orange- 
yellow terminal band of underside; our figures represent a very 
strongly marked ¢, a typical 9, and the underside of a 9 with less 
dark shading in terminal area than usual, the spot alone being repre- 
sented. 
MACARIA SUBTERMINATA sp. noy. (Pl. VI, Figs. 13-15). 
Antennae of @ serrate and fasciculate; palpi, head and thorax gray; 
ground color of wings whitish suffused with purplish-gray, especially heavily 
in outer third, forming a more or less distinct terminal broad band to wings 
beyond postmedial line; in some cases, notably 9’s, this suffusion is reddish 
purple and the outer band very prominent; slight sprinkling of black scales; 
primaries crossed by three lines of which the inner two are poorly defined and 
at times obsolescent; antemedial line ochreous-brown, bent below costa, strongest 
at costa; median line waved, usually confined to a strong, very oblique costal 
dash and slight spots on median vein and inner margin; postmedial line pale 
ochreous, rigid, slightly bent inward at costa, preceded by a narrow brown 
shade line, thickest at costa; in the darker specimens the terminal area beyond 
postmedial line is uniformly dark, in paler specimens the terminal area is slightly 
lighter than subterminal, the subterminal line being represented by slight dark 
shading; all specimens possess a dark suffused patch just beyond postmedial 
line on vein 4; terminal row of black dots; fringes concolorous with terminal 
area. Secondaries much as primaries; median line of primaries continued across 
wing, more or less obsolete, with rather distinct spot at termination on inner 
margin; postmedial line distinct, as on primaries, separating pale basal area 
from darker terminal border; in pale specimens the subterminal area is deeper 
in color and is suffused with dusky shading, narrowing towards anal angle; 
small discal dot present. Beneath both wings with basal 2/3 whitish, slightly 
sprinkled with brown, with distinct discal dots; costa, apex and terminal area 
of primaries shaded with ochreous; a strong blackish subterminal shade, follow- 
ing course of postmedian line of upper side, narrow or wanting at costa, broaden-
