costo-apical part of the wing. Secondaries : entirely seal-brown, with 

 long hairs along the inner margin and basal part of wing. Underside of 

 both wings entirely Van Dyke brown ; the three costo-apical white spots 

 visible through the wing. Abdomen and thorax same color as adjacent 

 parts of the wings. Palpi clothed with long hairs. Antennae entirely of 

 same color as the primaries on the upperside. 



Habitat : Mt. Tatnalpais, Marin Co. , California. Collected 

 by Mr. F. X. Williams, Maj'^ 19, 1904, in Mill Valley, on the 

 slopes of Mt. Tamalpais. Onlj^ a few were captured but others 

 were seen ; the species is no doubt extremely local in distri- 

 bution. 



Type I S , to be deposited in the collection of the Cali- 

 fornia Academy of Sciences. 



This species is very distinct from any other by its small size, 

 and verj' dark, almost uniform color. Owing to a curious 

 asymmetry in the clasps of the single male I possess, the de- 

 scription of these organs will have to be deferred till more spe- 

 cimens are available.
