NOKTH AMERICAN EUCOSMINAE. 269 



Right harpe of male genitalia of type figured. 



Alar expanse. — 15-16 mm. 



Type.—C2it. No. 25620 U. S. N. M. 



Paratypes. — In National Collection and collection Blackmore. 



Type locality. — Mount McLean, British Columbia. 



Food plant. — ^Unknown. 



Described from male type and two male paratypes from the type 

 locality, labeled ("5,500 ft., Aug., A. W. Hanham"), all received 

 through Mr. E. H. Blackmore. 



In our key the species would fall between infelix Heinrich and Mr- 

 sutana Walsingham. It is distinguished from both by the lack of any 

 definable ocelloid patch. The shape of its harpe also separates it at 

 once from infelix. 



EPINOTIA IMPROVISANA. new species. 



Like subplicana Walsingham except cinnamon color rather than 

 gray. 



Antennae gray. Palpi long, projecting twice the length of the 

 head beyond it; ochreous, shading to gray toward tips. Face, 

 head, and thorax pale cinnamon. Fore wing of male with appressed 

 costal fold reaching beyond basal third but not to middle of costa ; 

 costa decidedly arched; apex produced, pointed; termen concave; 

 ground color pale cinnamon dusted with darker scaling giving the 

 wing a somewhat mottled appearance; there is a faint indication of 

 a dark basal patch and a similar shading on dorsum before tornus, 

 in some specimens the latter is continued to middle of costa in a 

 very obscure transverse fascia ; tornal area somewhat paler than rest 

 of wing but without definably ocellus ; costa marked with fine, rather 

 long alternating dark cinnamon and paler geminations; on middle 

 of wing just before termen three short black streaks or dots; also a 

 black dot or two at upper inner edge of pale tornal patch ; cilia pale 

 cinnamon ochreous with a distinct dark brown or blackish shading 

 toward apex. Hind wing pale smoky ochreous; cilia somewhat 

 paler.
