446 FBOCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. 



The cell as a whole is dusky around the ordinary spots. Secondaries 

 smoky, with a yellowish tinge, darker outwardly, discal lunule pres- 

 ent, fringes whitish. Beneath gray, powdery, discal lunule and outer 

 line indicated on j>rimaries only. 



Expanse, 35 to 36 mm. — 1.40 to 1.44 inches. 



Habitat. — Siskiyou, California, September 11 (Henry Edwards); east 

 Washington (Piper). 



Two males. The type was received from Mr. Edwards several years 

 ago and is in fair condition; the second example, from Washington, is 

 rubbed and imperfect. It is darker throughout, the reniform has the 

 inner margin drawn in so as to constrict it centrally and give it a flask 

 shape, and the median shade line is not well marked. Otherwise I see 

 no essential differences, and the examples agree in somewhat unusually 

 long antenna? a.nd in the shape of the primaries, which recalls Noctua 

 rather than the more typical Garneadcs. 



40. CARNEADES INTRUSA, new species. 



In Bulletin No. 38, U. S. National Museum,^ I called attention to what 

 I then considered a variety of tessellata, and for which the term intrusa 

 was suggested. With the material now at hand I have no hesitation 

 in declaring the form entitled to specific rank. It resembles tessellata 

 in general scheme of ornamentation, but the transverse anterior line 

 is more upright, and the transverse i)osterior more evenly oblique below 

 the middle of the cell. It is irregularly white powdered, and in each 

 specimen the powdering is more prominent in a different space. In 

 one it brightens the subterminal space, in another the costal region, in 

 a third the basal space, and in the fourth the lower half of the median 

 space. The powderings are coarse and not very close. The ordinary 

 spots are more or less filled with these coarse white scales, and the reni- 

 form is outwardly shaded with yellow. 



Expanse, 30 to 33 mm. = 1.20 to 1.33 inches. 



Habitat. — Sierra Nevada, California. 



Specimens labeled as above are in the U. S. National Museum collec- 

 tion, the Edwards collection, and the Eutgers College collection. .

41. CARNEADES NEOTELIS, new species. 



Ground color red-brown, more or less shaded with ash-gray. Head 

 with a black or brown line across the middle of the front. Antenna' 

 with a discolored red, yellow, or gray tuft at base. Collar with a dei^)- 

 brown median line, gray margined above, tending to become diffuse 

 inferiorly; the base of the primaries usually marked by a discolored 

 yellow or gray tuft. Thoracic vestiture mixed scales and flattened hair, 

 l)atagia evident, tuftings distinct and tending to become discolored.
