18. EPINOTIA FUMOVIRIDANA, new species. 



(Fig. 348.) 



Palpi, face and head dark grayish fuscous. Thorax and fore 

 wing dark grayish fuscous dusted with greenish scales giving 

 ground color to the naked eye a smoky gray green appearance ; basal 

 patch obsolete ; from middle of costa a rather broad transverse black 

 band extending nearly to a black spot on dorsum before tornus, 

 forming with the latter a fascia broken above the dorsal spot by a 

 thin line of the ground color ; ocelloid patch faint, a paler greenish 

 shade than the ground color and containing two or three indistinct 

 black streaks; above ocelloid patch a faint shading" of black; at 

 apex an inwardly pointed short black dash; on outer half of costa 

 three faint dark fuscous spots ; cilia very dark fuscous with a black- 

 ish basal shading; termen distinctly concave; veins 3, 4, and 5 

 approximate at termen; above dorsum a couple of small tufts of 

 raised scales. Hind wing semilustrous ; dark smoky fuscous; cilia 

 but slightly paler with a dark basal band and the extreme tips of 

 the hairs white. 



Male genitalia of type figured. 



Alar expanse. — 19-21 mm. 



Type. — In collection Barnes. 



Pciratypes. — Cat. No. 24844, U.S.N.M. ; also in American Museum. 



Type locality. — Shasta Eetreat, Siskiyou County, California. 



Food plant. — Unknown. 



Described from male type ("Aug. 16-23 ") and two female para- 

 types ("Aug. 16-23," " Sept. 1-7 ") from Doctor Barnes collection, 

 labeled " Shasta Retreat, Siskiyou County, California. 



A distinct species reminding very much of pulsatillana Dyar from 

 which it is distinguished by its darker greenish gray color, its black 

 rather than fuscous gray post median fascia, and its more concave 

 termen.

This species has what amounts to a falcate apex in the fore wing. 

 This character should throw it into Ancylis. The genitalia and the 

 large costal fold however clearly show that it belongs where we have 

 placed it. Another example of the difficulties experienced with all 

 characters of this subfamily.
