Anarta Kelloggii, n. sp. Hy. Edwards. 
Head, thorax and abdomen, black, with silver gray hairs. 
Primaries, black, mottled with silver gray. The basal half line and thet. a. 
are indistinct, the latter only very slightly dentate; orbicular and reniform, 
very distinct, the former brownish, the latter surrounded by a white cloud. 
T. p., bent anteriorly after reaching the middle, distinct near internal margin, 
and edged outwardly with gray. Sub-terminal line whitish, tri-dentate, edged 
anteriorly with black shade, most strongly marked on the costa; marginal line 
black, cut with white streaks. Fringes blackish, mottled with gray. 
Secondaries, black, with white median fascia, not reaching to anal margin. 
Fringes, white. 
Beneath, both wings are largely white. Primaries, with the base and a 
broad sub-marginal fascia, dusky black. Secondaries, with base, small discal 
spot, and rather wide sub-marginal band, also dusky black. 
Expanse of wings, 1.35 inches. 
(Coll. Hy. Edwards, No. 5534.) 
Taken in Tuolumne County, California, by Dr. A. Kellogg, to whom I am 
indebted for much valuable material, and to whom, with sincere regard, I 
dedicate this species. It is allied to A. melanopa of Labrador, but differs con- 
siderably by the more elaborate markings of the primaries, the much wider 
black margins of the secondaries, and the darker and more pronounced col- 
oring of the under side. 
Anarta crocea, u. sp. Hy. Edwards. 
Primaries, grayish brown, speckled with black. Basal half line much bent 
inwardly at its conclusion. Between it and the t. a., the space is covered by 
mingled brown and white scales. T. a., whichis gray, edged with black, runs 
obliquely from costa to beyond the widdle, then forms a double tooth as it 
reaches the internal margin; orbicular and reniform, white, well defined; me- 
dian space darkest towards internal margin. T. p., white, with anterior edge 
blackish, rounded from costa, and almost lunate inform. Behind it are many 
white scales on a brownish ground, most strongly marked on the costa. Sub- 
term. consisting of a blackish shade, approaching the t. p. by aseries of black 
dots. Fringe, gray, mottled with black. Thorax and abdomen, light gray, 
sprinkled with black. 
Secondaries, yellow orange at base, with rather wide black margin. 
Fringes white. 
Beneath, the wings are yellow orange, the lower side the darkest, with 
rather wide black margin, the costa of each sprinkled with brownish scales. 
Expanse of wings, 0.85 inch. 
Dalles, Oregon. (Coll. Hy. Edwards.) 
It is possible that this species may form the type of a new genus, though 
the similarity of its system of coloration to the European A. mytilli, induces 
me to place it here. 
Melicleptria venusta, n. sp. Hy. Edwards. 
Head and thorax, rich chocolate brown; abdomen, black, with the anal 
hairs golden brown.
