Phryganeopsis brunnea, sp. nov. (Plate XXXV. fig. 1, la, 

 16, Ic). 



Capite ochreo, palpis hrunneis, antennis sordidis ; alls aiiticis cum 

 ci/iis chocolate brunneis, purpurea vel viridi-purpureo subnitidis, 

 casta dimidia exteriore dilute ochracea maculata, puncta disci 

 et puncta in medio marginis dorsalis dilute ochraceis ; alls 

 posticis (S brunneis, $ suhpurpureis. 



Head roughly clothed, ochreous ; palpi dark brown, slightly de- 

 pressed, extending three times the length of the head beyond it. An- 

 tennae pubescent in both sexes, dirty whitish brown above in the $ . 



Fore wings and cilia dark ehocolate-brown, with a gloss of purplish 

 in the S and of greenish purple in the $ , especially noticeable 

 where any abrasion of the scales has occurred ; the costa is faintly 

 marked on its outer half with two or three groups of pale ochreous 

 scales, the last of which lies above the apex at the commencement 

 of the costal cilia ; there is a spot of the same colour on the middle 

 of the dorsal margin, with a small pale discal spot above and beyond 

 it. Hind wings brown in c? , purplish in the $ . Legs and abdomen 

 of the same colour ; the feet slightly paler. 



Expanse, 6 20, $ 25 millim. 



Three specimens (2 d" , 1 ? ) on the coast of Klamath county, 

 California, June 18/2. 



Genus Calantica (Zeller). 

 Calantica polita, sp. nov. (Plate XXXV. fig. 2.) 

 Capite crinito et thorace candidis ; antennis {excepta basi Candida) 

 cinereis ; palpis decumbentibiis, articulo secunda cinerea, apicali 

 Candida ; alis anticis nitidis, subeceruleo-candidis, puncta in 

 fine cellulcB fusco, costae basi anguste cinerea, strigula dorsali 

 ohliqua past medium cinerea, ciliis subcinereis ; posticis saturate 

 plumbeo-cinereis, ciliis dilutioribus. 

 Head roughly clothed, together with the thorax shining white ; 

 the palpi depressed, having the second joint cinereous, the apical joint 

 thickly clothed, white above, touched with ciuerous beneath. Antennae 

 white at the base, cinereous beyond. 



Fore wings shining white, with a faint bluish tinge ; a fuscous dot 

 at the end of the cell ; the base of the costa narrowly cinereous, and 

 a small cinereous oblique streak beyond the middle of the dorsal 

 margin, but preceding the discal spot to which it points ; this streak, 

 in some specimens, is obsolete ; the cilia are slightly tinged with 

 cinereous, and in some specimens have a row of very faint minute 

 cinereous dots at their base, along the apical margin. Hind wings 

 very pale greyish cinereous, with paler cilia. Underside of the fore 

 wings cinereous, of the hind wings greyish. 

 Expanse 15 millim. 



The only points of structure in which this species appears to 

 differ from the European representatives of the genus Calantica are 

 the greater length of its palpi and the less thickened tibiae of the 

 first pair of legs.
