wards anal angle below vein 1; a strong reddish shade follows this line; sub- 
terminal line whitish, scalloped, indistinct; small discal dot. Beneath primaries 
in ¢ largely smoky, with ochreous costa, apical patch and subterminal line and 
small dark discal spot, in 9 basal 2/3 pale ochreous with diffuse broad smoky 
terminal band, leaving an ochreous apical spot free. Secondaries pale ochreous 
sprinkled with smoky, with terminal smoky band. Expanse ¢ 25 mm, 9 
24-28 mm. 
Hasirat. Brownsville, Texas; San Benito, Texas (May 16-23) (G. Dor- 
ner). 2 6,2 2. Types, Coll. Barnes. 
The species is allied to pampinaria Gn. but is much more contrast- 
ingly and heavily marked; the reddish subterminal shading and inter- 
spaceal black streaks are characteristic. 
THERINA FLAVILINEARIA sp. nov. (PI. VIII, Figs. 1, 3). 
Wings in ¢ very slightly angled at vein 4, in 9 more so; pale to dark 
ochreous, heavily sprinkled with smoky scales; antemedian line bent below 
costa, then almost perpendicular to inner margin, dark smoky brown, with 
prominent orange shading preceding it; postmedian line almost rigid, with 
slight bend at vein 4, parallel to outer margin, dark, followed by an orange 
shade; faint discal dot. Secondaries with oblique dark median line followed by 
orange shading, indistinct at costa. Beneath unicolorous pale ochreous with 
lines of upper side showing faintly through. Expanse ¢@ 31 mm., 2 31-36 mm. 
Hasitat. Palmerlee, Ariz. (C. Biederman), Redington, Ariz., White Mts., 
Ariz. 8 6,3 9. Types, Coll. Barnes. 
Allied to cavillaria Hulst but distinguished by the orange shade 
of the transverse lines and the deeper ground color. The relative po- 
sitions of the lines in regard to each other are variable. 
METANEMA HIRSUTARIA sp. nov. 
¢. Front and palpi deep brown; thorax clothed with long rough hair, 
varying from reddish-ochre to purple brown; primaries varying in color similar 
to thorax, falcate and strongly angulate at vein 4, sprinkled with fuscous scales, 
with indistinct smoky evenly bent t. a. line and pale ochréous sinuate t. p. line, 
not bent at costa. Secondaries angled at vein 4, paler than primaries with more 
or less distinct ochreous postmedian line, preceded, especially towards inner 
margin, by smoky shading; small discal dot present on both wings. Beneath 
pale rosy ochreous with sprinkling of fuscous scales and small discal dot on 
both wings. Expanse 37 mm. 
Hasitrat. San Diego, Calif. 8 ¢. Type, Coll. Barnes. 
This species seems best placed in Metanema although the rough 
hairy thoracic clothing is hardly typical of the genus; the venation 
corresponds to that of quercivoraria Gn. The species is variable in 
both coloration and position and intensity of the transverse lines; it 
was figured in Vol. II, No. 1 of our Contributions.
