rather even reddish-ochre tint or deep flesh-color; maculation distinct, basal line 

 geminate, black, extending half across wing, filled with pale flesh-color ; t. p. 

 line geminate, black, outer line heavy, inner line faint filled with flesh-color, 

 outcurved below cell and again above inner margin ; orbicular round, finely 

 defined in black, filled with the ground color, open slightly towards costa ; reni- 

 form upright, not constricted, defined laterally with black, filled with ground 

 color with a slightly paler annulus, lower portion shaded with dusky brown ; 

 t. p. line dentate, black, bent outward below costa, then inwardly oblique, shaded 

 outwardly with flesh-color, only geminate at costa, the outer line wanting oth- 

 erwise ; a faint narrow black median shade angled below reniform ; s. t. line 

 pale flesh-color, incurved sHghtly opposite cell and again in submedian fold, 

 shaded inwardly slightly with fuscous ; terminal space slightly darker than 

 the remainder of the wing ; secondaries yellowish-white with faint postmedian 

 line and slight smoky marginal band. Beneath whitish with traces of a post- 

 median line and discal dot on both wings. E.\panse, 27 mm.

The above description is drawn up from a single clearly marked 

 S , which we have labelled "type." The other specimens before us 

 show great variation; a specimen labelled S. Calif, agrees with the 

 type in clearness of maculation, but the primaries are entirely dull 

 ochreous; it is an old specimen and the color may be due to age. In 

 another specimen the ground color is similar to that of the type but 

 the maculation is very indistinct and a third specimen, besides having 

 indistinct maculation, has the s. t. line rather bright ochreous; these 

 two specimens are also considerably smaller than the type. Our final 

 specimen is suffused with vvine-red rather than deep flesh-color and 

 the maculation is indistinct. We can find no definite points on which 

 to separate these forms and until more material is forthcoming ]3refer 

 to regard them as one species. The position of the species in the genus 

 would be somewhere near mocrcns Grt.

9 ■ Palpi blackish outwardly ; tegulae and thorax dark brown, slightly 

 suffused with reddish, former crossed by a black median line; primaries purple 

 brown with faint reddish tinge ; a black basal streak below cubital vein ; t. a. 

 line only represented by a curved black line in submedian fold from which a 

 narrow black claviform arises; orbicular oval, outlined in black, open towards 

 costa, preceded by two slight black marks; reniform well excurved towards 

 apex of wing, with black margin and incomplete ochreous annulus, filled with 

 purple-brown ; t. p. line wanting on costa, scarcely traceable across remainder 

 of wing as a faint, dark, obliiiue line ; s. t. line represented bv a few black
