would probably fall in Pyrausta; we saw the type in the Hulst Collec- 
tion and have a long series from San Diego, Calif. The following 
species appear to be undescribed. 
EVERGESTIS INSULALIs sp. nov. (PI. II, Fig. 4). 
Head, thorax and abdomen gray; primaries whitish-gray sprinkled at base 
and along costa with purplish-gray and shaded terminally with dull red-brown 
and smoky; t. a. line very faint, often obsolete, twice dentate below costa, then 
inwardly oblique and almost straight to inner margin, ending in a small distinct 
dark spot; reniform an obscure quadrate dark blotch, its lower end only slightly 
removed from t. p. line; this line rather faint at costa, then broad, dark brown, 
and very distinct, twice dentate below costa then inwardly oblique and parallel 
to t. a. line with a slight incurve below reniform; subterminal line smoky, dif- 
fuse, close to margin with several prominent dark dashes below apex of wing 
extending to t. p. line and a smoky patch above inner margin, touching t. p. 
line and leaving a short vertical white dash exterior to t. p. line resting on in- 
ner margin; between the apical dashes and the anal patch the subterminal space 
is shaded with dull red-brown; faint dotted dark terminal line; fringes with 
ochreous basal line followed by a deep smoky line, outer portion pale smoky 
mixed with white. Secondaries semihyaline whitish, shaded outwardly with 
smoky with a dotted smoky subterminal line; fringes as on primaries. Beneath 
whitish with slight smoky tinge and markings of upper side showing through. 
Expanse 24-28 mm. 
Hasitat. Duncans, Vanc. Is. B. C. (Aug.-Sept.); Quamichan Lake, 
Vane. Is.; Victoria, Vanc. Is. 24,592. Types, Coll. Barnes. 
Closely related to funalis Grt., but median area paler, maculation 
less sharply defined and dark markings above anal angle more diffuse, 
forming a patch, not dashes, which reaches to t. p. line; secondaries 
paler. 
EVERGESTIS TRIANGULALIS sp. nov. (PI. II, Fig. 5). 
Head and thorax light purplish gray; primaries whitish heavily scaled with 
brown in basal and median areas, leaving only traces of ground color visible, 
and suffused with dull red-brown terminally; t. a. line faint, red-brown, in- 
wardly oblique, non-dentate, preceded by a white shade usually more distinct 
than line itself; t. p. line toothed below costa, then evenly oblique to inner 
margin and parallel to t. a. line; prominent white shading before t. p. line; 
reniform an obscure elongate cloud; slight dark shade on inner margin at in- 
ception of t. a. line; beyond t. p. line and resting on inner margin a prominent 
deep red-brown triangular patch bordered outwardly by a whitish line followed 
by gray shading extending to outer margin; terminal area above this rather 
even dull red-brown with faint traces of a smoky s, t. line; faint terminal 
dotted line; fringes smoky with paler basal, median and terminal lines. Sec- 
ondaries pale smoky hyaline, shaded with deep smoky outwardly, with dotted
