pale. Fringes, drab, mottled with brownish. Secondaries, yellowish drab,

Awenus ochraceus, n. sp. Hy. Edwards. 
Very similar to A. arvalis, Grote, but differing by a large basal dark space, 
and by the t. a. being bent angularly forward on the costa, not nearly straight 
as in the more common species. The median shade is gray and well defined, 
contrasting very strongly with the rest of the wing surface, which is ochreous 
brown. The whole of the lines are more strongly marked than in arvalis. 
The secondaries are blackish at the base, with a decided ochreous band, en- 
closing a narrow black fascia. Fringes, yellowish. Beneath, ochreous, with 
same markings as those of the upper side, but much fainter in tone. The 
posterior wings have almost an orange tint. Size of arvalis, of which, should 
it prove to be a variety, it is certainly a very extreme one. 
San Diego. G. R. Crotch. (1. Coll. Hy. Edwards, No. 5535.) 
Axenus amplus, n. sp. Hy. Edwards. 
A very distinct and peculiar species, in which the wings are much broader 
and more rounded than in arvalis, and the lines and spots, with the exception 
of the sub-term., utterly obliterated. The color is greenish olive, with a few 
white scales sparsely scattered over the whole surface of primaries. Sub-term. 
line, whitish, much curved inwardly as it reaches the internal margin. Sec- 
ondaries, with faint discal dot, a few scales, and an imperfect sub-marginal 
band, whitish. Fringes of both wings, white. Beneath, greenish drab, the 
primaries darkest, discal spot paler, large, reaching almost to costa. The 
secondaries have the base dusky, with three more or less perfect dusky fascia. 
The margins of both wings are black, and the fringes greenish drab. 
Expanse of wings, 0.80 inch.

Annaphila arvalis, nu. sp. Hy. Edwards. 
Erastria arvalis. Behr. MSS. 
Primaries, dull, grayish black, with all the lines exceedingly indistinct. 
The t. a. black, only slightly notched exteriorly, and edged posteriorly with 
whitish. Median shade, blackish, with a few whitish scales beyond. Reni- 
form, almost lost in the gray scales surroundingit. Fringes, blackish, flecked 
with white. 
Secondaries, pale yellow, with a dull black basal triangular patch, enclosing 
some yellow spaces Margin, very narrow, even narrower than in A. depicta, 
Grote, and almost regular interiorly. 
Beneath, both wings are yellow. Primaries, with broad black margin, 
widest at apex, and a narrow black transverse fascia, slightly bent outwardly
