Taeniocampa terminata Smith. 

 Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 1887, x, 475. 



Sordid yellowish gray, powdery ; s. t. space somewhat darker, ter- 

 minal space somewhat paler than the rest of wing. Median lines 

 faintly marked, pale, interrupted. T. p. line followed by a row of 

 black veuular points which are outwardly limited by a pale dot. The 

 s. t. line is defined by the strong- contrast in shade between s. t. and 

 terminal spaces; irregularly dentate. A row of distinct black spots 

 close to outer margin, but not quite terminal. A wavy, pale, terminal 

 line. A diffuse, dark median shade. Orbicular obsolete; reniform 

 marked by a lunate yellow streak, apparently forming the outer margin 

 of the spot. Secondaries blackish, with whitish fringes. Beneath 

 whitish, powdery, with punctiform outer line and distinct discal spots. 

 Head and thorax concolorous. Harpes of male equal to tip, where the 

 superior angle is somewhat drawn out and the inferior angle rounded. 

 Clasper corneous, moderately long, but slightly curved ; at the base is 

 another smaller hook, closely united with and apparently forming a part 

 of the larger hook. Expands 1.G0 inches (4.0 mni ). 



Habitat.— Southern California. 



The collar is somewhat produced centrally, there is an obvious 

 though not prominent thoracic crest, and a truncate tuft on basal seg- 

 ment of abdomen. The species is therefore closely allied to Perigrapha, 

 but has not the wing form of that genus, and the male antenna) are 

 much more shortly pectinated. The type is a unique male in Mr. Tep- 

 per's collection. 



Taeniocampa subfuscula Grt. 



Pr. B. S. N. H. 16, 244, 1873 {Anarta), Buf. Bal. 2, pi. I, f. 7, 1874, Anarta; Smith, 

 Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 1887, x, 474, Ttehiocampa. 



Ash gray, dark ; powdery ; median space more or less completely 

 filled by a sordid blackish fuscous shade. Median lines distinct, black, 

 single. T. a. line upright or outwardly oblique, irregularly curved and 

 toothed on veins. T. p. line crenate, parallel with outer margin. 

 Basal line distinct, geminate. S. t. line marked by a preceding irregu- 

 lar dusky shade, more or less interrupted. A row of black terminal 

 spots. A pale line at base of fringes. Claviform rather small, but 

 distinct, black marked ; orbicular round, pale, sometimes with a cen- 

 tral spot. Reniform upright, more or less obscured by the dusky shade ; 

 incompletely black ringed, and with rather a few white defining scales. 

 Secondaries even, smoky fuscous. Beneath dull smoky gray, with 

 variably complete outer line and distinct discal spot. Head and thorax 

 concolorous. Harpes of male narrowing toward tip, which is oblique, 

 with obtusely rounded angles; fringed inwardly with stout spiriules. 

 Toward base there is a curved corneous hook, moderate in length ; 

 halfway to tip is a straight, somewhat flattened, process, broadening
