before the inner band; an cchinate white spot in the place of the diseal mark; a 

 white streak on the sub-median fold, and the median vein above it is touched with 

 white. These white spots on the median space are more numerous than in tri- 

 linearia, which this species is nearer in ornamentation than uncannria, but there 

 is no furcation of the outer band, which has caused Dr. Packard to describe tri- 

 linearia as having two sub-marginal lines; this furcation seems to be really the 

 transverse diseal spot. In dulciaria the narrow sub-marginal band becomes at- 

 tenuate superiorly. It is outwardly projected opposite the cell, and it is partially 

 resolved into distinct lunulate spots. The white bands of the primaries are all 

 edged and brought into relief by darker lines. The inner band is connected with 

 the base by white scales along median vein. Hind wings whitish, reflecting from 

 beneath the double incomplete dusky bands which are there distinct. The 

 primaries beneath reflect the markings of the surface. Abdomen whitish, with 

 a dusky stigmatal stripe. Length of primary, 18 mil ; length of body, 12 mil. 



Hah. Colorado. Mr. Neumoegen. 



This species is brighter and prettier than its allies, from either of 

 which it is easily distinguished. 



Phasiane curvata, n. sp. 



r£ O. The ground color is dirty whitish, much speckled, and shaded with 

 fuscous. The median lines are thick and black. The inner line is thick from 

 internal margin to the middle of the wing, where it is angulated, and above 

 which it is linear to costa. The median shade is also thick and black interiorly, 

 where it runs near the inner line, nearly touching it and fusing with it on 

 the median vein divaricating thence to internal margin. It is curved and linear 

 to sub-costal vein, crossing the black diseal point, thence angulated to costa. 

 Outer line thick and black, evenly curved until opposite cell, where it fades 

 away, is here bent, and becomes again evident on costal region. It is followed 

 interiorly by a narrow yellowish line. Sub-terminal space fuscous. Terminal 

 space again whitish, speckled. A terminal broken black line. Hind wings ashen, 

 speckled with indications of three transverse lines marked on internal margin. 

 A black terminal line, slightly lunulate, more or less interrupted. Fringes with 

 a white basal line, ashen, marked with dashes, somewhat dentate on secondaries. 

 Beneath the costa of primaries is somewhat ochrey ; the wings are shaded with 

 fuscous and white. Length of primary, 15 mil. 



Hab. Nevada and Colorado. Dr. Bailey, Mr. Neumoegen. 



This form differs, by the curved median shade, which is distinct 

 interiorly, and nearly touches the anterior line in median vein. It 

 somewhat resembles nigrofasciata, but the outer band is evenly in- 

 Avardly curved interiorly where alone it is thick, black, and distinct, 

 while the species is larger.

Head and thorax dark yellow. Pore and hind wings bright crimson. Pri- 

 maries with the median lines propinquitous, irregularly toothed, yellowish white, 

 not very distinct. A yellowish white diseal spot; the sub-terminal line of the
