PSYCHE. 



[June-Sepl. 1894. 



under side, both wings are uniformly pale 

 brown witli a lilacine tint in certain lights. 

 There is an obscure suggestion of an incom- 

 plete transverse limbal line on tlie primaries. 

 Expanse, 40 mm. 



Si. C. (?) acidalia, sp. nov. $. Body 

 pale cinereous. Legs whitish, the anterior 

 margins of the tibiae of the first and second 

 pair edged with brown. The primaries and 

 secondaries are pale cinereous. The3' both 

 have a minute blackish dot at the end of the 

 cell. The primaries are crossed by a sub- 

 basal and parallel limbal band, and liave a 

 triple series of very fine light brown sub- 

 marginal waved markings. Just below the 

 costa before the apex are two minute blackish 

 dots. The margin is defined by minute 

 blackish transverse dashes on the interspaces. 

 The fringes are pale. The bands which 

 traverse the primaries are continued upon 

 the secondaries and the margins are marked 

 in the same way. On the under side, both 

 wings are pale whitish. The transverse 

 lines of the primaries reappear, especially 

 those forming the submarginal series. The 

 secondaries have no transverse markings. 

 Neither of the wings on the under side shows 

 the discal dot in the cell, which appears on 

 the upper surface. Expanse, 22 mm. 



I refer this species provisionally and with 

 doubt to Capnodes. 



Selenis, Guen. 



82. 5. piincticosla, sp. nov. $. He.id, 

 collar, and patagia dark brown. The upper 

 side of thorax and the tips of the patagia, 

 hoary gr.iy; the upper side of the abdo- 

 men fuscous; the lower side of thorax and 

 abdomen pale fuscous. Legs slightly darker. 

 The primaries are rich dark brown with a 

 wide lioary gray costal band running from 

 the base, where it touches the inner margin, 

 almost to the apex. The band is toothed 

 about the end of the cell and there invades 

 the dark brown outer portion of the wing. 



Along the costa is a series of five or six 

 minute dots and at the toothed expansion of 

 the costal band is an obscure reniform spot. 

 The secondaries are uniformly pale brown 

 with the costa stramineous, shining. The 

 fringes are paler. On the under side, the 

 primaries and secondaries are pale brown 

 with the inner margin of the primaries laved 

 with cinereous. There is a minute white 

 discal spot at the end of the cell in both 

 wings, and the apex of the primaries is 

 marked with whitish. The secondaries are 

 traversed by obscure and indistinct paler 

 transverse median and limbal bands. 



$. The female does not differ materially 

 from the male, except that the broad costal 

 band of gray is less conspicuous, its inner 

 margin being obscurely defined, except near 

 the base. Expanse, <J , 30 mm.; ?, 34 mm. 



83. S. limbata., sp. nov. J. Head, and 

 collar brown ; patagia brown edged with 

 grayish. The top of the thorax is grayish 

 marked with a few blackish spots. The 

 upper side of the abdomen is fuscous. The 

 lower side of the thorax and abdomen is 

 pale fuscous. Legs concolorous. Pectus 

 dark brown. The primaries are marked 

 with a broad coppery-red triangular spot' 

 the apex of which points to the apex of the 

 wing, which it does not quite reach, the base 

 of which rests on the inner margin, extend- 

 ing for about one-third of the distance from 

 the base to the outer angle. The costal 

 area above this coppery-brown spot is dark 

 brown marbled with transverse parallel lines 

 of pale rufous, \vhich shade into bluish-white 

 in immediate proximity to the large triangu- 

 lar brown spot. The outer margin of this 

 brown spot is defined by two nearly parallel 

 chalky-white lines separated by a darker 

 brown line, and beyond these lines on the 

 outer margins are some dark cloudings. 

 Just below the apex on the outer margin is a 

 yellowish spot. The coppery-red spot of 

 the primaries is continued upon the second- 

 aries, covering the entire basal two-thirds of
