CHALINITIS ALBISTRIGALIS sp. nov. (PI. VIII, Fig. 14). 
Head and thorax whitish; primaries pale green, crossed by an oblique rigid 
white line from middle of costa to inner margin 1/3 from base; beyond this 
line costa is narrowly white to apex of wing; very faint traces of a white sub- 
terminal line; fringes concolorous. Secondaries white, slightly smoky. Beneath 
whitish, primaries and legs very faintly tinged with rosy. Expanse 20-23 mm. 
Hasitat. San Benito, Texas (Mch. 16-23), Apr. 24-30, May 8-15) (G. 
Dorner). 2 ¢,2 2. Types, Coll. Barnes. 
Similar generically to viridalis B. & McD.; agrees in venation 
with both Ragonot’s and Hampson’s definition, but lacks the glandular 
swelling given by Hampson as characteristic of ¢ sex. The green 
color is very liable to fade in relaxing the specimens, as has happened 
in the two @ specimens before us.
