cence gives a distinctly lunular appearance to the apical markings. Outer field 
anteriorly fuscous divided by the yellow fuscous color of the veins—fading into the 
ground color posteriorly. Hind wings fuscous, smooth, dark at margin. Beneath 
fuscous on fore wings with a costal band lighter, the whole with a reddish tinge quite 
marked at apex. Hind wings reddish at angle, otherwise fuscous.

YUMA, gen. nov. 
( Yuma, a tribe of Indians of S. California). 
Less robust than the other genera. Head comparatively small. Palpi long, 
curved back over head, heavily ridge scaled in front, thus becoming flattened, second 
member long, third short. Maxillary palpi long, pencil tufted in <j’, the lobes slend- 
erer than usual, the antepenultimate member long filiform. Antenne strongly bi- 
tufted pubescent, the tuftings on the basal and middle segments raised on slight pro- 
tuberances 1/, the diameter of the segment, showing a beginning of pectination : 
process short, slender, long scaled, without hairs. Wings without costal fold or vitri- 
faction. Abdomen slender, tufted laterally on anti- and penultimate segments. 
Genitalia normal, except that there are strong short lateral spines. Legs long, slender, 
hind tarsi only slightly spined at tips. Fore tibize with epiphysis»rather heavy, first 
tarsus longer than tibia. Middle tibiae not so long as femora, spurs long, the outer 
very long, equalling 2/, tibia. Hind tibize with end pair only of spurs, the tibize being 
twice the length of femora. Venation—Fore wings 12 veins ; I not bent nor furcate, 
3, 4.and 5 separate, 6 and 7 froma point, g and 10 stemmed with 8, 10 and It 
separate. Hind wings 8 veins ; 3 separate, 4 and 5 joined at base, 6 separate, 7 and 
8 :temmed beyond cell. Cell long, 1/, length of wing. 
Y, adulatalis, Hulst, (Zoripalgus), Ento. Am., III, 129, 1887. 
Expands, 20 to 26 mm, Head black with light gray scales intermingled. Tongue 
light gray. Palpi black and gray intermixed, both washed with reddish. Process 
whitish at base, becoming blackish at end, long scaled, Ocelli very distinct. Thorax 
reddish brown in front, gray behind. Abdomen gray, blackish at base, with lateral 
scale tufts on the 2 segments preceding anal segment. Wings on the basal field dark 
brown mixed with gray scales with a longitudinal light gray dash in center, running 
two-thirds the length of the field and ending in a black point of raised scales preceded 
by another. The field is limited quite distantly from base by a light gray strongly 
thrice waved line which has beyond it a shadow line of dark brown. Beyond this the 
middle field is gray, very light costally and centrally, darker posteriorly. Anteriorly 
slightly washed, and shaded with a black discal point of raised scales, posteriorly 
strongly shaded with brown which at the outer edge of the field is slightly reddish. 
The light gray centrally extends to the outer margin of the wing. Outer line clear 
at costa, shaded inwardly and outwardly with black, the outward shading making a 
large apical blotch. The line ends at the extension of the gray central field 1/, from 
costa in a black longitudinal dash. It shows somewhat indistinctly on the posterior 
1/, in the continuation of the reddish brown of the middle field, and is there waved 
inwardly, dentate outwardly, and shaded on both sides with blackish. Outer field 
narrow, gray, except towards posterior angle where it is brown, slightly reddish. 
A black marginal line cut by the veins. Fringes interlined. Hind wings yellowish- 
white, somewhat fuscous, subpellucid. An outer line dentate outwardly on veins. 
A black marginal line cut at veins. Fringes interlined. Beneath dark fuscous washed 
over dirty white, an outer indistinct dentate white line on fore wings. Hind wings 
nearly as above but duller.
