Allied to mustelinalis Pack. in type of maculation, but paler, with 
the white patches much more prominent. 
PyYRAUSTA PILATEALIS sp. nov. (PI. I, Fig. 25). 
Palpi brown at sides, white beneath; head and thorax white tinged with 
brown at inception of primaries; primaries grayish white, very slightly 
sprinkled with brown scales, especially over median area; lines fine, brown, 
rather obscure, t. a. line, when visible, outwardly oblique with small inward 
tooth in fold; t. p. line rather closer to outer margin than usual, and semi- 
parallel to same, rounded inwardly at costa, slightly dentate in lower portion; 
reniform an obscure brown lunule; fringes tinged with brown. Secondaries 
very pale smoky, darker along outer border, with traces of a subterminal line 
most marked around vein 2; fringes white. Beneath whitish, immaculate. 
Expanse 20 mm. 
Hasitat. Loma Linda, S. Bernd. Co., Calif. (April, June, July) (G. R. 
Pilate). 5 6,3 2. Types, Coll. Barnes. 
We take pleasure in naming this pretty little species after the 
collector, Mr. G. R. Pilate; the slight brown sprinkling on primaries 
is at times almost obsolete. 
PYRAUSTA SARTORALIS sp. nov. (Pl. I, Fig. 26). 
Palpi brown above, white beneath; head and collar brown, with a white 
line along the side of the eye; thorax brown, paling laterally; primaries deep 
creamy, suffused with brown, which at times occupies almost the entire median 
space; t. a. line indicated by a pure white oblique shade band, which separates 
the paler basal area from the browner median area; in well marked specimens 
the median area is bright brown with the exception of a small anterior costal 
portion, which is deep creamy and contains a brown dot indicating the orbi- 
cular, the cubital vein is also paler scaled, jutting into the dark area almost 
to t. p. line; this line is indicated by a pure white band, bent inwards at costa 
and then parallel to outer margin, making the median space twice as broad 
at costa as on inner margin; immediately before the outer margin and parallel 
to same is a fine white line shaded inwardly with brown, which at times occu- 
pies nearly the whole subterminal space but is usually confined to the costal 
portion; fringes creamy. Secondaries whitish tinged with brown outwardly 
and showing traces of an oblique line which descends from costa well before 
apex to outer margin just before anal angle. Beneath shiny white with mark- 
ings of upper-side partly visible. Expanse 17 mm. 
Hasitat. Loma Linda, S. Bernd. Co. Calif. (G. R. Pilate). 4 3,5 9. 
Types, Coll. Barnes. 
Belongs in the same group with the preceding species. In pale 
specimens the brown median area is reduced to a costo-apical patch and 
another below the cubital vein and the subterminal brown shading is 
almost wanting. _
