side this is traversed centrally by a white or pale line having 

 two or three teeth below costa pointing outward, and filled in 

 basally with black or dark brown scales then crenulate to anal 

 angle. Marginal line brownish black. Fringes gray brown, 

 with a pale line at base. Secondaries rather long, outer margin 

 much rounded, their ground color that of primaries, dusky brown 

 or grayish, the pale band outside extra discal on primaries being 

 continued across secondaries nearly parallel to outer margin 

 and bordered inwardly by a dusky crenulate line, marked at vein 

 crossings with dots of dark scales — and outwardly by a similar 

 crenulate line without dots. Marginal line and fringes as in 

 primaries; discal dots round, faint. Beneath, all wings are dusky 

 brown, or grayish white, thinly speckled with darker scales. The 

 outer extra discal marginal line crosses both wings as above, 

 heavier at costa on priniaries, the inner, heavy at costa, fades out 

 below it. On secondaries margined as above. The discal dots , 

 large round and prominent black. Marginal lines and fringes as 

 above. Body and legs beneath gra}^ white sprinkled with dark 

 brown or black scales. 



Types — one cf from Chimney Gulch, Golden, Colo. (Oslar)

 VIII. 17, 1907, and three cotypes from the same locality, all in

 the ruddy gray brown of the males. 



A New P3'garctia from Florida,

On the 22nd of April, 191 2, the author collected at one of 

 the electric lights at Fort Myers, Florida, a Pygarctia. This 

 when spread was compared with four specimens in the collection 

 of Mrs. Slosson from Lake Worth, Fla., labeled Pygarctia abdonti- 

 nalis, Grote, and found to agree in every particular. All of 

 these moths have the forewings bordered with bright orange, but 

 agree in size and in having the collar unicolorous with the figure 

 of P. abdominalis in Holland's "Moth Book," and with that in 

 Sir George F. Hampson's "Catalogue of the Lepidoptera 

 Phalaenae." They, however, do not agree with two males taken
