with a slight ochreous dash in position of t. p. line; seocndaries smoky with 
basal half tinged with ochreous, this area defined rather sharply by a broad 
dark terminal band. Expanse 12-14 mm. 
Hasitat. Babaquivera Mts. Ariz. (Aug.); S. Ariz. (Poling). 3 4’s. 
Types, Coll. Barnes. 
Allied to the preceding, but smaller; differs also in the lack of a 
costal patch and the presence of a subterminal line. 
CHLOROBAPTA Gen. nov. (Type Chlorobapta rufistrigalis). 
Antennae in ¢ annulate and ciliate; labial palpi minute, porrect, scarcely 
extending beyond front; maxillary palpi short, slightly scale-tufted at ex- 
tremity; tongue obsolete; front gently rounded, not prominent; primaries trig- 
onate, apex rather pointed, veins 6 and 7 from below upper angle of cell, well 
separated, 2 and 9 stalked, 10 free; secondaries with vein 5 from well 
above 4 and parallel to same, disco-cellular oblique, 6 from upper angle of cell, 
7 and 8 stalked; spurs on mid and hind tibiae well developed and of equal 
length. 
C. RUFISTRIGALIS sp. nov. (PI. II, Fig. 17). 
Primaries pale lemon yellow overlying a dark ground color, which shows 
through in basal 24 of wing and narrowly along outer margin giving a general 
greenish tinge to wing; an oblique red-brown subterminal dash from vein 2 
to anal angle subparallel to outer margin; fringes white. Secondaries pure 
white, slightly shaded with smoky at apex in 9. Beneath primaries deep 
smoky, whitish at apex and inner margin; secondaries white. Expanse 15 mm. 
Hasitat. Pyramid Lake, Nevada (June 1-7). 1 4, 1 Q. Types, Coll. 
Barnes. 
The genus appears to be quite unique with its small palpi and 
obsolete tongue; this latter feature would in fact throw it into the 
Schoenobiinae according to Hampson’s tables, but we do not care for 
this association as in other respects it is quite distinctly Pyraustid; 
probably it would be best placed after Noctuelia. 
Scissot1a Gen. nov. (Type Scissolia harlequinalis). 
Antennae slightly annulate and ciliate; front rather prominently rounded; 
labial palpi, short, porrect, evenly scaled, 3rd joint visible; maxillary palpi 
almost as long as the labial, tufted with scales at extremity; primaries with 
outer margin strongly incised below the apex above vein 6 and slightly a sec- 
ond time above vein 4; vein 7 straight and well separated from 8 and 9 which 
are stalked; 10 well separated. Secondaries with vein 5 remote from 4 and 
parallel to same; discocellular very oblique inwardly; 6 from below upper angle; 
7 and 8 well stalked.
