56 Mr. A. R. Grote on the Moths of New Mexico. 



* 



the close and parallel median shade runs straightly down, and 

 at the bend touches it ; a curved shade line before the black 

 inner line ; so that here we have three lines close together and 

 partially fused, differing in distinctness. Outer line black, 

 sinuous, bent outwardly on costal region, the subterminal, 

 fainter, runs close to it, and they nearly touch opposite the 

 cell ; at the place of the subterminal line the wing is whiter, 

 free from speckles or strigae, also on median space. Hind 

 wings grey, finely irrorate; two mesial lines indicated on 

 internal margin. Beneath whitish grey, irrorate ; fore wings 

 reflecting lines. No. 1002. Expanse 27 millim. Easily known 

 by the terminal anterior line forming two forks from its middle 

 junction with the median shade. Discal dots very small. 



Caripeta cequaliaria, n. s. 



$ . Close to angustiorata. Fore wings rich rosy brown and 

 ochry brown, the paler shadings being whitish yellow. Ter- 

 minal anterior line upright, dark brownish, the cells before it 

 to base being diffusely filled with yellowish white. This line 

 in its ally forms a wide tooth, narrowing the median space 

 which is here wanting, the median lines being subparallel 

 and the median field of the same width. Two indistinct pale 

 spots on the cell. Outer line followed by a narrow diffuse 

 yellow-white shade, like anterior line, toothed at extremit 

 of median vein. Subterminal line a succession of dark 

 brownish blocks on interspaces, followed to the edge by 

 yellow-white triangular marks. Hind wings whitish, shaded 

 on veins with yellow. Thorax fawn. Beneath reflecting 

 markings ; hind wings with a broken ochre line. Expanse 

 38 millim. New Mexico. No. 995. 



Parcedis obliqualis, n. s. 



Front flat ; maxillary palpi stout and scaled, as long as the 

 labial, appearing between them and the front. Allied to 

 funalisj and similarly sized. Grey, shaded with smoky and 

 brown. Inner line single, oblique, very faint, apparently 

 angulate on cell. Outer line parallel with this, even and 

 oblique, preceded by a faint white shade. Subterminal line 

 black, denticulate, running from apex inwardly to a point 

 below the middle, whence it runs close and parallel to the 

 outer line to the internal margin ; it is touched with white 

 below the middle, after which it is even and black. There is 

 a wide brown clouding across the wing from the outer line to 

 the external margin opposite the cell ; above internal angle 

 a large free grey space. Fringes dark. Keniform a faint,
