72 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [Feb., '04 



shaded, the shades succeeding the t. p. line on costa and inner margin 

 and on center of outer margin ; a row of black terminal points ; fringe 

 dark gray with white dashes at the ends of the veins. Hind wings soiled 

 whitish, darkest along outer margin. 



It resembles the (^ of centiiriella Schiff., but is very difTerent from the 

 $ of that species. 



One 9 Beulah, New Mexico, 8000 feet (T. D. A. Cockerell). 

 U. S. National Museum, type No. 7654. 



Scoparia fernaldalis n. sp. 



(^ 9 expanse 14-18 mm. Very similar to basalis Walk, {libella Grt. ), 

 but rather larger, seemingly somewhat narrower winged and generally 

 darker in color. The markings are the same, varying considerably as in 

 basalis. It is perhaps a western form of basalis, which I take pleasure 

 in dedicating to Professor C. H. Fernald, who examined a specimen and 

 thought it worthy of separation from the eastern species. 



188 specimens, Kaslo, B. C, Canada, 1700 feet. (Currie, 

 Caudell, Cockle and Dyar. ) 



U. S. National Museum, type No. 7655. 



Scoparia tricoloralis n. sp. 



(^ 9 expanse 19-21 mm. Light gray, shaded with black ; a black patch 

 at base of fore wing on costa ; t. a. line pale, slightly oblique, bent a 

 little at the middle, followed on costal two-thirds by a heavy black band 

 that absorbs the orbicular and claviform ; reniform small, of two super- 

 posed black spots, followed by a large, contrasted, brown cloud ; t. p. 

 line narrow, white, narrowly dark edged within, roundedly, evenly and 

 strongly bent outward beyond the reniform ; terminal space heavily black 

 shaded, cut outwardly centrally by a diffuse pale arc, representing the 

 subterminal line. Fringe pale, black checkered at base. Hind wings 

 blackish shaded, subpellucid along internal margin. 



Four specimens, Wellington, B. C. (Theo. Bryant), Kaslo, 

 B. C. (Caudell, Currie and Cockle.) 

 U. S. National Museum, type No. 7656. 



Scoparia cinereomedia n. sp, 



(^9 expanse 14.5 mm. Pale gray ; basal space heavily, but not con- 

 tinuously shaded in black as far as the t. a. line ; center of wing clear 

 gray, the outwardly placed reniform composed of two superposed ellip- 

 ses, clouded and fused to costa by black ; t. p. line narrow, pale, crenu- 

 late, bent opposite reniform but not forming an arc, black edged within. 

 Terminal space shaded in black, leaving a pale space below apex and 

 above anal angle ; terminal black spots diffuse ; fringe white with a dark 

 basal line. Hind wings grayish, subpellucid.
