The specimens vary in color from reddish to gray. An example was 

 submitted to Professor Smith for determination. 

 Pachnobia alaskae Grote. 

 Pachnobia alaskce Grote, Bull. Buff. Soc. Nat. Sci., 3, 84, 1876. 



Five examples : Popof Island, July 12-13 ; St. Paul Island, August 7. 



One specimen is a female and the wings are not expanded. Named 

 by Professor Smith. 

 Caradrina punctivena Smith. 

 Caradrina punctivena Smith, Trans. Am. Ent. Soc, 21, 77, 1894. 



Three examples : Virgin Bay, June 25. 



Professor Smith, on seeing the best specimen, remarked: "One 

 very decent male. It is a little larger than the average specimens from 

 Manitoba and British Columbia ; but is otherwise practically the same. 

 The nearest mate to it is an example from Laggan, British Columbia." 

 Ommatostola popofensis Smith. 



As this proved an undescribed species, Professor Smith has made 

 the following : 



Ommatostola popofensis sp. nov. 



Head, thorax and primaries dull luteous. Head a trifle deeper color, 

 the clothing even. Thorax immaculate, vestiture dense, loose, neither 

 collar nor patagia defined. Abdomen a paler shade of clay yellow, 

 rather smoothly clothed, untufted. Primaries with a somewhat more 

 reddish shade a little beyond the middle, enclosing and relieving the 

 reniform. The latter is moderate in size, centrally constricted, upper 

 portion not well defined ; lower somewhat dilated, black filled, nar- 

 rowly outlined in white. Transverse anterior line obsolete. Trans- 

 verse posterior line traceable by the deeper shade and a few black 

 scales on the veins. Subterminal line a little irregular, traceable by a 

 narrow, very slightly darker preceding shade. Veins through terminal 

 space black-marked ; but irregularly so. Fringes dusky at tip. The 

 orbicular spot is transversely oval, traceable with difficulty by a very 

 slightly paler outline. Secondaries black, fringes yellow. Beneath 

 pale luteous ; primaries a little smoky on the disk, with a smoky outer 

 line and obvious discal lunule ; secondaries with a small discal dot. 



Expands 35 mm. = 1.40 inches. 



Habitat.— Popof Island, Alaska, July 15, 1899. 



One female in good condition. The species is totally different in 

 appearance from lintneri, yet seems to be fully congeneric with it. Its 

 general appearance is hadenif orm until the fine yet dense vestiture recalls 

 some forms of Leucania. 



Type. — Cat. no. 4S43, U. S. National Museum. 

 Anarta lanuginosa Smith. 



One example, which Professor Smith characterizes thus :
