out any striations and these always few and faint. It has no outer or in- 

 ner darkening of color. It ordinarily has no indications of the t. p. line, 

 though this when evident runs as in H. edwardsai ia. I have seen spe- 

 cimens of H. edwardsar.a where the marginal band was very faint but 

 the color of the wings always remained yellow.

4. Drepanodes syzygiaria sp. nov. 



Expands 27 mm. Wings of a nearly uniform warm yellowish fawn. T. a. line 

 wanting; t. p. line silky white, unmargined, very fine, reflected to costa at a right 

 angle. Wings beyond t. p. line violet shaded. Beneath as above with indication of a 

 marginal darker band. Discal spots black, small above on all wings, below on hind 

 wings. Fore wings broad, hardly falcate aim o.st rectangular. Costa strongly arched; 

 antennae strongly pectinated, very long.

 perizomaria but may be known especially by the much lengthened anten- 

 nae and nearly rectan'gular fore winiis. 



5. Geometra illustraria sp. nuv. 



E.xpands 38 to 44 mm. The form found in Cal. and referred to 

 by Dr. Packard, (Geom. Moths p. 394), but not by him thought worthy 

 a name. It seems to me however to be different from the eastern spe- 

 cies. It is uniformly of much greater size; it is in color uniformly of a 

 very different shade of green; the cross lines are narrower, not edged 

 with yellowish or purplish, are much straighter; there is not the same 

 tendency to a whitening of the veins on the submarginal space: there is 

 none of the bluish cast upon the submarginal space. Till further knowl- 

 edge is had, I think it must be considered a valid species.

6. Anaplodes festaria sp. nov. 



Expands 30 mm. Differs from A. pistacearia Pack, in being of a lighter more 

 vivid silky green; by having two cross lines on all wings; by having the fringe pink, 

 and a narrow margin of bright red on wings; by having the wings more extended 

 and pointed. The green of the vvings is much striated with white in long very fine 

 silky lines. Cross lines fine, white, the inner rounded near base, the outer parallel 

 with tlie outer margin.
