pinkish shadings which are irregular and disconnected. The terminal

 shaded along the costal margin.

95. TRIPUDIA LUXURIOSA, new species. 



Head and thorax silver gray, with darker, reddish brown scales 

 intermixed, disk and posterior bunch of scales on thorax, brown; 

 abdomen gray with yellow tinge. Primaries silver gray at base to the 

 transverse anterior line, which is single, brown, broken and irregular, 

 the basal line being traceable over the costal region by pinkish scales. 

 From the transverse anterior line to the inner edge of the brown median 

 shade the space is whitish, shaded with pink, basally. The median 

 baud is brown, edged with black scales, twice dentate on each side, the 

 teeth being opposite, so that we have two constrictions and three 

 expansions. Silvery scales edge this band outwardly and lighter scales 

 extend to the deeply sinuate transverse posterior line, which is brown, 

 incomplete, and single. Subtermiual line silvery white or creamy, 

 irregular, with two square insets, which are silvery, and three blocks of 

 blackish scales above, between and below these insets. Apex brick 

 red, rest of terminal space reddish brown. The long fringes are irregu- 

 larly mottled and marbled with black, gray, and brown. Orbicular 

 barely indicated by dusky scales before a constriction of the median 

 band; the reniform better marked by an indefined dusky spot beyond 

 it. Secondaries smoky brown, the fringes more gray. Beneath yellow- 

 ish, mottled with black. 



Expanse, 11 to 13 mm. = 0.44 to 0.53 inch. 



Habitat. — Arizona; Santa Eita Mountains, Arizona, June 14, 1898 

 (E. A. Schwarz). 



Two females; one of them, taken by Mr. Schwarz, very fresh, the 

 other, an old example, a little faded and without definite locality. The 

 description is from the fresh example, which is really very handsome 

 and richly colored. This species should also extend into Mexico, but 

 has not been recognized as described.
