(Continued from from p. 192.) 

 By Geo. D. Hulst. 



Tornos incopriarius, sp. nov. Expands 34 mm. Palpi, head, thorax, and 

 a l)d«men fuscous; fore wings brownish cinereous, ev.n; three ;mall black discal 

 *pots in a triangle; a narrow black dash beyond on veins 5,6 and 7, the first not reach- 

 ing margin, the last only on margin; hind wings white with a fuscous shade; discal 

 spot faint; marginal line fuscous; beneath uniform white with a fuscous shade. 



I (^, Ariz. Coll. Neumoegen. I have all Grote's types before me 

 and believe these to be distinct. 



Aspilates opuscularia, sp. nov. Expands 30 mm. Palpi and antennae fus 

 cous; head and thorax ochreous; abdomen ochreons anteriorly, light ochreous pos- 

 teriorly ; fore wings ochreous with a reddish shade, and with dark brown irrorations 

 especially on submarginal space; three brownish black lines rather broad, very dis- 

 tinct, cross the wings, the first slightly bent outwardly, the second discal straight, 

 the third with a slight sinus at vein 5, all as nearly parallel as possible; a line of 

 marginal black points; hind wings light ochreous, irrorated with brown, with two 

 lines starting from inner margin, one discal, the other outer, both obsolete before 

 reaching middle; a marginal line of nearly confluent black spots; beneath light 

 ochreous, except costally and apically on fore wings, where the wings are reddish 

 Kchreous and powdered with black; lines faint towards costa, except the outer which 

 is quite distinct, posteriorly obsolete; marginal lines as above. 



I J^, Cal. Coll. Holland, 



Aspilates behrensaria, sp. nov. Expands 40 mm. Palpi ochreous brown: 

 ;intenna; fuscous; thorax and fore wing ochreous brown, the brown caused by fine 

 thickly powdered brown scales; abdomen and hind wings light ochreous; the fort- 

 wings are crossed by three lines one basal, the second including the black discal 

 point, both straight and parallel, the third strongly sinuate, being much bent in- 

 wardly near middle space, and edged outwardly with light ochreous and next to 

 this a row of black dots; the edging light ochreous line often is reddish at inner part 

 of the sinus, and the row of spots sometimes there becomes a dark clouding; the spot.s 

 are always more distmct towards apex; the hind wings are considerably powdered 

 with brown outwardly, and along inner margin; beneath light ochreous, with fore 

 wings and costal portion of hind wings often reddish. 



The Q differs from the above, the form of the (^, in having the brown color 

 replaced with reddish ochreous, the color being often quite bright. 



10 (^, II 9, Cal. Nev. Ariz. Named for Jas. Behrens, Coll. 

 Hulst. 



Aspilates desperaria, sp. nov. Expands 34 mm. Palpi light fuscous, front 

 ochreous; vertex and thorax fuscous cinereous; abdomen fuscous ochreous; wings 

 generally fuscous cinereous with diffuse fuscous faint cross lines four in number, the 

 first basal, the second intradiscal, these with a dentation inwardly at middle, scallop- 

 ed outwardly, parallel; the third extra discal waved ; the fourth quite submarginal 

 dentate inwardly edged outwardly with whitish which runs on veins to margin; the 

 second and fourth lines are the heaviest; between these two a slight ochreous tinge • 

 continued on hind wings; the outer line only on hind wings agreeing with same line
