line yellowish, outwardly oblique to vein 8, then parallel to outer margin as 
far as vein 5, then incurved to vein 1 and forming a prominent lunule which 
is heavily shaded with brown and is the most striking feature of the maculation; 
beyond this lunule diffuse yellowish shading; apex of wing yellowish continued 
as a faint s. t. line to inner margin; fringes yellowish cut by a slightly darker 
line. Secondaries hyaline white, slightly smoky outwardly with faint curved 
postmedian line. Beneath whitish, primaries slightly smoky with well defined 
t. p. line and reniform spot, secondaries with faint postmedian line as above. 
Expanse 2I mm. 
Hapitat. Palmerlee, Ariz.; Wilgus, Ariz. 2 8,2 9. Types, Coll. Barnes. 
Possibly better placed in Crocidophora than Evergestis as the 3rd 
joint of the palpi appears to be concealed. We place it for the present 
in Evergestis as it appears to bear affinities to the rimosalis group of 
this genus. 
LOXOSTEGE TYPHONALIS sp. nov. (Pl. I, Fig. 7). 
Head, thorax and primaries ochreous brown, the latter shaded in the median 
area beyond the cell and in the lower half with dark brown variably overlaid 
with pale blue scaling; t. a. line obscure, smoky, strongly outwardly oblique to 
above fold, then slightly bent inwards to inner margin; t. p. line outwardly 
rounded opposite cell, then strongly incurved, forming a tooth pointing inwardly 
on vein 2 and another on vein 1 and more than twice as close to t. a. line on 
inner margin as on costa; orbicular small, brown, oblique; reniform small, ob- 
scure, lunate, often hidden by a brown shade extending beyond the cell to t. p. 
line and sprinkled with blue; a faint dark marginal line; fringes concolorous. 
Secondaries pale ochreous, darker marginally with traces centrally of a waved 
postmedian line. Beneath pale ochreous, with markings of primaries on upper 
side showing more or less through. Expanse 18-20 mm.

vera Mts., Ariz.; Christmas, Gila Co., Ariz. 8 $, 8 2. Types, Coll. Barnes. 
Belongs in the allectalis-albicerealis group and is very close in 
maculation to allectalis Grt. differing in its light-brown color with 
much reduced blue shading. 
LOXOSTEGE ROSEITERMINALIS sp. nov. (PI. I, Fig. 8). 
é antennae strongly ciliate; front oblique, roof-shaped, ending in a conical 
tubercle ; head, thorax and primaries bright yellow, latter with a narrow terminal 
border and the fringes purplish-pink; no markings. Secondaries including 
fringes whitish. Beneath unicolorous whitish. Expanse 15-20 mm.
