sal line of the abdomen, and a row of very 

 minute black spots on either side. The legs 

 are concolorous with the tibiae margined 

 with black. The primaries on the upper side 

 are of the same color as the abdomen and 

 have two very faint and much angulated par- 

 allel transverse lines crossing them beyond 

 the cell, and a few black spots on the outer 

 margin near the end of the radial nervule. 

 The secondaries are much paler, inclining to 

 whitish. The under sides of both wings are 

 pale creamy tinged on the costa with reddish, 

 and there are a few indistinct black marks at 

 the outer angle of the secondaries as well as 

 upon the outer edge of the primaries oppo- 

 site the cell, and both primaries and second- 

 aries have a very small and obscure discal 

 dot. Expanse, 40 mm. 



This insect is with doubt referred to the 

 genus Alpenus, as likewise the following 

 species, though they come nearer that genus 

 than any other. 



41. A. ( ?) multiscripta, sp. nov. $. An- 

 tennae, front, collar, tegulae, and abdomen 

 pale yellowish. The tegulae have each a 

 black spot in the middle, and there is a row 

 of black spots on the dorsal line of the abdo- 

 men, and a row of very minute black spots 

 on either side of the abdomen. The legs are 

 yellowish margined with brown. The prim- 

 aries are of the same color as the thorax and 

 profuselj' sprinkled with very minute brown- 

 ish lines running transversely. On the costa 

 beyond the base, there is a narrow dark 

 brown line reaching into the cell; beyond it 

 a heavy brown line running obliquely toward 

 the outer margin to the end of the cell, and 

 then returning at a very acute angle and ter- 

 minating upon the inner margin before the 

 base. A subapical brown line runs from the 

 costa inwardly, and then is connected bv a 

 curved line with the upper portion of the an- 

 gulated line, which precedes it. There is a 

 submarginal line about three-fourths of the 

 distance from the base, which is heaviest near 

 the inner margin. There is a series of black 



dots on the outer margin most distinct just 

 below the apex. The posterior wings are 

 white with a very faint discal dot and a few 

 black dots at the outer angle. The under 

 side is uniformly pale yellowish with a heavy 

 comma-shaped discal mark upon the prim- 

 aries, and a heavy round discal dot upon the 

 secondaries. Both wings have some obscure 

 grayish marks near the outer end of the costa 

 and the outer margins are punctured with 

 black dots. 



Expanse, 28 mm. This species is appar- 

 ently not uncommon. 



Aloa, Walk. 



42. A. nigricosta, sp. nov. $ . Antennae 

 white with the pectinations gray. Front 

 orange. Collar and upper side of the thorax 

 yellowish-white. The abdomen orange with a 

 heavy black dorsal line, a row of black dots on 

 either side of the abdomen and a double row of 

 black dots on the lower side of the abdomen. 

 The wings are yellowish-white inclined in the 

 case of the secondaries to semi-translucency , 

 and the costa of the primaries from about the 

 middle to the apex is heavily margined with 

 black. 



Female like the male. 



Expanse, $ , 30 mm. ; $ , 36 mm. 



CYMBIDAE. 

 Earias, Hiibn. 



43. E. Ogovana, sp. nov. £. Front and 

 forward edge of collar white. Eyes and an- 

 tennae brown. Palpi pale fulvous. Lower 

 side of thorax and abdomen whitish. Legs 

 whitish margined with brown. The hind 

 margin of the collar, the upper side of thorax, 

 and upper side of anterior wings bright grass- 

 green. The upper side of the abdomen is pale 

 brown annulated with black. The posterior 

 wings are vinaceous with the costa shining 

 whitish and the fringes on the outer margin 

 darker than the body of the wing. The an- 

 terior wings are crossed by two angulated
