as well as tlic ccislal inargin, is strongly siirinklcd with white scales and is 

 bordered apically by a white line; the reniforni is very vaguely indicated by a 

 slight diniinnation of white scaling in the lower portion of the patch; a similar 

 patch occupies the basal half of the inner inargin, extending upward to cubital 

 vein but not connected with costa ; subterminal line indicated by a vague shad- 

 owy line of dots, seen only in a certain light, terminating in a distinct purple 

 dot on inner margin near anal angle; veins Iv, and Mi slightly defined outward- 

 ly with purple, the scaling tcn<Iing to form a minute patch on outer margin at 

 this point ; fringes checkered, purple and white. Secondaries whitish, shaded 

 outwardly with smoky-brown, fringes white. Beneath, white, primaries more 

 or less suffused with smoky, immaculate. Expanse, 29 mm.

The sjjecics i.s readily recognized by the distinctly yellow groinid 

 color, approaching in this respect Stiria ntgifrons, although the struc- 

 tural details agree with those of the genus Chalcopasta as defined by 

 Hanii>son. The white scaling to the purple patches is also character- 

 istic and the patches themselves lack the reddish tinge found in hoivardi 

 and tcnitans. The reniforni is not distinct as in the above two species. 

 On the costa opposite the basal purple patch there is a slight spur of 

 purple color projecting toward the patch and we should not be sur- 

 prised if in some specimens the two were joined as is seen in Iwzvardi. 

 The species was figured in the preceding No. of oiu" contributions.

9- Head and thorax pale to deep oclireous; primaries with all maculation 

 lacking, basal portion of wing to end of cell ochreous yellow, broadly suffused 

 with pale ochreous along costa, the outer margin of this yellow area is even 

 and inwardly oblique to centre of inner margin; subterminal area suffused 

 with pale purple; terminal area ochreous jcllow, the two areas scarcely con- 

 trasting but shading gradually into each other ; fringes lead-color. Secondaries 

 smoky with yellow costal and outer margins and dark fringes ; secondaries 

 whitish, sprinkled along costa with ochreous. Expanse, 17-19 mm.

The type specimen is very clearly marked; a second 9 , which we 

 li.txc made a co-type, is not so ]irDniinently yellow in the basal area 

 liut we imagine this is due to the yellow scaling having been rubbed 

 off, leaving a |)urplish ground color; the line nf dcmarcition between 

 subterminal and terminal spaces is better defined in the <-o-type. The
