 stricted at middle, swollen toward apex and base and not reaching to 

 costa; outer costal spots rather large but faint; some faint black 

 scaling on subapical bar and a few (3 or 4) blackish spots along

 pale smoky fuscous ; cilia whitish with dark basal band. 



Male genitalia of type figured. Female genitalia figured from 

 paratype in National Collection. 



Alar expanse. — 14^20 mm. 



Type. — In American Museum. 



Paratype. — Cat. No. 28033, U.S.N.M. Also in American Museum, 

 Canadian National, and Barnes collections. 



Type locality. — Eureka, Utah. 



Described from male type, 10 male and 1 female paratypes from 

 the type locality (May to August, Tom Spalding) ; 1 male and 

 1 female paratypes from Vineyard, Utah (" VIII-7-18 " and 

 " VII--8-12 ") ; 3 male paratypes from Deer Creek, Provo Canyon, 

 Utah ("VII-16-18" and "IX-11-18," Spalding) ; 1 male paratype 

 from Denver, Colo. (Oslar) ; 2 female paratypes from Chimney 

 Gulch, Golden, Colo. (Oslar, May) ; 1 female paratype from Almota, 

 Washington (C. V. Piper) ; 2 male and 1 female paratypes from 

 Jemez Springs, N. Mex. ("June 8-15"); 1 female paratype from 

 Mesilla, N. Mex. (C. N. Ainslie) ; 1 male paratype from Clark 

 County, Nev. ("June 24—30"); and 1 male paratype from Saska 

 toon, Saskatchewan (Kenneth M. King, "21-IX-1922"). 



This has been for some time in the collections as an undescribed 

 species and part of the above series had been set aside by Kearfott 

 under a manuscript name. The description, however, was never 

 published. Superficially it looks like a large, rather pale Poly- 

 ehrosis.
