the sj)acc between the ordinary spots, evenly oblique inward and well 

 removed from the transverse posterior line from the lower angle of the 

 reniform. Claviform wanting, but there is a narrow and scarcely 

 defined yellowish mark occupying its place and extending to the median 

 shade. Orbicular round or nearly so, moderate or small, annulate with 

 yellowish, centered with the ground color, darkened by a few dusky 

 scales. Reniform moderate in size, kidney-shaped, extending a little 

 below the cell, outlined in yellowish, filled with leaden gray or smoky. 

 Secondaries yellowish white, darkening a little at the outer border to a 

 distinct dusky terminal line; veins and a narrow Innule also a little 

 darker. Beneath white, with a glistening yellowish tint, more or less 

 powdery, primaries with an obvious discal lunule, secondaries with a 

 small dusky spot. 



Expanse, 37 to 40 mm. = 1.48 to 1.60 inches. 



Habitat. — Arizona (Dr. Barnes). 



Three good females, with no more definite locality than above given. 

 The species is easily different from any heretofon' described, though 

 resembling at first a redtlish ewnis. The vestitnre here is scaly rather 

 than hairy, however, and the very evenly marked ornamentation is 

 characteristic rather of messoria., nenv which the new form must be 

 placed. 



31. CARNEADES LAGGAN/E, new species. 



Ground color dull, dark, ashen gray, witli fuscous powderings. 

 Collar gray and dark i)owdery, with a black, median, transverse line. 

 Thoracic vestitnre mixed scales and flattened hair, somewhat loose, 

 patagia well marked, margins edged with black scales, tufcings dis- 

 tinct. Primaries with the markings well written, blackish, not 

 strongly contrasting. Basal line geminate, distinct, dentate. Trans- 

 verse anterior line geminate, outer portion broad and black, inner nar- 

 row and smoky, outwardly oblique, irregularly otitcurved in the inter- 

 spaces, the longest curve below vein I. Transverse posterior line 

 geminate on the costa, below which the outer i)ortion is lost, the inner 

 smoky, lunulate, with long outward venular points, only a little out- 

 curved over cell, ])arallel with outer margin. Subterminal line indi- 

 cated by irregularly placed paler scales, relieved by darker preceding 

 scales. A series of blackish terminal lunules, followed by a pale liue 

 at base of fringes. Median shade line oblique between the ordinary 

 spots and somewhat darkening the cell, thence, from the inferior angle 

 of the reniform, close to and parallel to transverse p!)sterior line, the 

 intervening space becoming slightly dusky and giving the effect of a 

 narrow darker band. Claviform small, very narrowly outlined by 

 black scales. Orbicular a little paler than ground color, without pow- 

 derings, of good size, narrowly black ringed. Reniform kidney-shaped, 

 rather narrow, not powdery, not extending below cell, very narrowly 

 black ringed. Secondaries even smoky gray, the veins hardly darker,
