than fore wing, but nearly the same general color; cilia whitish 

 with a dark basal band. 



Alar expanse. — 24-25 mm. 



Type. — In collection Barnes. 



Paratype. — Cat. No. 24859 U.S.N.M. ; also in American Museum 

 and collection Barnes. 



Type locality. — Paradise Valley, Mount Rainier, Washington. 



Food plant. — Lupinits polyphyllus.^° 



Described from male type and three male paratypes, all from 

 the type locality and labeled, "July 24^31." Much like leonana, 

 but darker, with darker hind wings, straighter costa, and with- 

 out the distinct markings of Walsingham's species. Closest to 

 stygiana Dyar, but distinguished from the latter by its more golden 

 color. In genitalia paradisiae, stygiana, roessleri, and asphodelana' 

 are so much alike that it is practically impossible to separate them 

 on structural characters. In all the eighth abdominal segment is 

 less highly modified than in leonana, vestaliana, or ochreicostana, the 

 projections of the tergite being mere rounded stubs, very short, and 

 not as long fingered processes in the other three species.

I have succeeded in rearing a couple of moths of this interesting 

 species from larvae boring in the roots of a plant resembling lupine, 

 collected at Colorado Springs, Colorado, by A. B. Champlain. Full- 

 grown larvae were collected in early March, 1915, and moths issued 

 April 7 and 15 of the same year. 



Male genitalia as in roessleri. 



Distribution according to specimens in National Collection, Ameri- 

 can Musjeum, and collection Barnes: Arizona, Colorado, Utah, 

 Wyoming, British Columbia. 



Alar expanse. — 25-28 mm. 



Type. — In National Collection. 



Type locality. — Williams, Arizona. 



Food plant. — Lupinus ? 



5. HYSTRICOPHORA STYGIANA CALIFORNIAE, new variety. 



Like the typical stygiana but differing in its darker, more distinct 

 costal markings and the presence of two or three short black longi- 

 tudinal streaks above tornus. In stygiana proper there is no indica- 

 tion whatever of an ocelloid patch. 



'"After this species had been described several specimens were received reared from 

 roots of Lupinus at Forest Grove, Oregon, by L. P. Rockwood ("Webster No. 20585 ").
