140 Lord Walsingham on 



Pcedisca pulveratana, Wlsm, 

 Arizona. 



Pcedisca strcnuana, Walk. 

 Several specimens from N. Carolina. 



Pcedisca aspidana, n. s. (PI. IV., fig. 10). 



Palpi hirsute, projecting more than twice the length of the 

 head beyond it, speckled dull brown and whitish. Antennae dull 

 brownish, the head and thorax speckled, as are the palpi. The 

 fore wings are inuch the same in colour as the head and thorax ; 

 an oblique dirty whitish line from before the middle of the dorsal 

 margin reaches the costa beyond the middle ; a similar and almost 

 parallel line beyond the middle is bent outwards below the costa, 

 which it reaches shortly before the apex, enclosing a small fuscous 

 costal dot, which is followed by a larger dark spot at the apex. 

 From the inner edge of the apical spot another pale Ime reaches 

 the anal angle along the base of the fringes, which are slightly 

 tinted with greyish fuscous and much speckled. Immediately 

 before the anal angle is a conspicuous fuscous spot touching with 

 its inner edge the lower part of the second pale line. Hind wings 

 pale brownish, with darker cilia. Expanse, 17 mm. 



Four specimens. Arizona. 



Pcedisca scudderiana, Riley. 

 A pair. Wisconsin. 



Pcedisca otiosana, Clem. 

 Two specimens. Florida. 



Pcedisca constrictana, Zell. 



Five specimens. Florida. 



The costal fold in the male is very distinctly visible 

 in my specimens, which must, I think, belong to this 

 species, although unfortunately there is no specimen in 

 Zeller's collection with which to compare them. 



Pcedisca dorsisignatana, Clem. 

 Several specimens. N. Carolina.
