species nor any other with which I am acquainted. There is the 

 barest possibility that it may be the female of the species just 

 previously described, that is, C. vulpina, but I do not consider 

 it in the least likely. It would seem as if this species was best 

 placed in the pitychrous section as a somewhat remote ally of 

 citricolor. 



Carneades servitns n. sp. PI. xv, fig. 8.— The ground color is bluish 

 gray; the collar marked by a transverse black line, below which it is 

 paler; but otherwise the head and thorax are concolorous. The prima- 

 ries are rather contrastingly marked, and all the ordinary maculation is 

 visible in an imperfect condition. The pale ground color extends along 

 the costa, and through the median cell to the end of the reniform, ob- 

 literating the orbicular entirely and leaving the reniform defined by a little 

 triangular black spot. Below this bright gray streak the median space is 

 darker in color, smoky or blackish, and in the basal space there is a 

 blackish blotch below the median vein that darkens this space inferiorly. 

 The basal line is single and blackish, marked on the costa only. The 

 t. a. line is single, outwardly oblique, blackish, but not marked through 

 the costal region. The t. p. line is single, dark, outcurved over the reni- 

 form and then evenly oblique to the hind margin. The s. t. line is not 

 well marked in the male, defined by the darker terminal space and two 

 broken preceding shades, giving a little the appearance of pale streaks 

 on veins 3 and 4; but in the female the terminal space is of the ground 

 color and the preceding shades are brown and rather vague. There is a 

 dusky terminal line, followed by a paler line at the base of the fringes. 

 The claviform is well marked and extends nearly across the median space, 

 the outline rather indefinite. The ordinary spots have been already de- 

 scribed. The secondaries are immaculate, smoky, with a yellowish tinge 

 in the male, which is absent in the female. On the underside both wings 

 are of the same shade as the uppersideof the. secondaries, and there is a 

 partial outer line on each, with a traceable discal lunule on the seconda- 

 ries. Expands 30-31 mm.; 1.20-1. 25 inches. 



Hab. — Male, Colorado, Bruce, No. 418; female, Calgary, 1894, 

 No. 38. 



I have had the male of this species in my collection for some 

 time, but placed it rather doubtfully as an extreme variety of 

 redimicula, as the type of maculation is decidedly similar, and 

 the species belongs to that series. The receipt of a female from 

 Calgary inclines me to the belief that we have a distinct species, 

 for the peculiarities of the male are carried still further in the 

 other sex; yet it would not surprise me if, in the event, my orig- 

 inal belief proved to be correct. As species go, however, I beheve 

 at present that this is fairly well marked.
