Apatela felina n. s. 



S 9 . Allied to lepusculina, aud formerly, from a single male, I sus- 

 pected it to be a Western form of the latter. Fore wings of a darker 

 evenly colored bluisli gray. Lines obsolete ( 5 ), or barely indicated ( ^ ). 

 A sbort narrow black basal dasb; a second, longer, on submedian fold, 

 reaching nearly to outer margin ; a third, more abbreviate and less con- 

 spicuous, opposite the cell. A black curved streak replaces the reni- 

 form, and a reduced open dot the orbicular on the cell. No terminal 

 line ; fringe checquered. Hind wings dusty whitish, perhaps a little paler 

 in the male. Beneath without markings, except two black discal streaks. 

 Head and thorax whitish gray; palpi black at the sides; lateral pro tho- 

 racic black liues. Abdomen gray. Expanse^ $ 40, $ 44 mil. 



jlcib. — California. Male in my collection ; female. Coll. Hy. Edwards. 



The male shows indications of the t. p. line by a paler shading, and 

 the orbicular is obsolete. 



Dicopis damalis u. s. 



S. Fore tibiae each with a long black claw; eyes naked; antennae 

 testaceous, bipectinate. Clear bluish gray. Ornamentation of primaries 

 feebly written. Orbicular round; reniform narrow, curved, upright; 

 the lines are double, and with the spots indicated by pale brown shade- 

 lines ; all concolorous with the wings. Thorax shaggy, bluish gray. 

 Hind wings whitish, a little soiled with discal dot, faint terminal line, 

 and whitish fringe. Beneath white, with black discal spot and broken 

 black mesial line. Fore wings gray, with faint broad exterior shade- 

 Ihie. Feet and abdomen gray. Expanse, 34 mil. 



Hah. — Havilah, California, Coll. Mr. Hy. Edwards. 



Distract from onuralis by its obsolete markings and gray color. It is 

 brighter, more bluish gray, than Eutolype rolandi, and seems destitute 

 of the thoracic metallic scales.
