99. ANTIBLEMMA FASCIATA, new species. 



Ground color, mouse gray with a bluisli tinge. Head and collar 

 defective in the specimen before me, but appareutlj^ not red brown. 

 Thorax and abdomen concolorous. Transverse anterior line red brown, 

 slender, single, very evenly zigzaged, inwardly oblique. Transverse pos- 

 terior line very narrowly yellow, margined on each side with chocolate 

 brown for its entire course, which is as in minorata. Median shade broad, 

 blackish, a little diffuse, as a whole parallel with the transverse poste- 

 rior line, the intervening space between the two brown filled; lightly 

 so on costa, densely so toward the inner margin. A brown shade 

 extends from the angle of the transverse posterior line to the apex. 

 Subterminal line an irregular series of interspaceal blackish marks, 

 varying in size and shape, forming a dusky shading opposite the anal 

 angle and another opposite the cell. Orbicular a blackish dot. Eeni- 

 form obscured in the median shade band. Secondaries with the trans- 

 verse posterior line of primaries continued across at the middle, the 

 median shade crossing at one-third from base, the interval brown filled 

 and with a central discal black dot. Subterminal line crossing as an 

 irregular, dark, broken, diffuse shade, best marked just above the anal 

 angle. Beneath, reddish gray, powdery, disk of primaries darker, more 

 powdery, with a white discal spot on all wings. 



Expanse, 29 mm. =1.16 inches. 



Habitat. — Arizona; Hulst collection. 



The type, belonging to the liutgers College collection, is a male in 

 rather poor condition, but so obviously distinct that description seems 

 warranted. 



100. BOMOLOCHA VEGA, new species. 



Ground color smoky brown, powdery. Head and thorax unicolored 

 darker brown. Palpi oblique, a little curved in all my specimens. 

 Abdomen pale, smoky. Primaries as a whole darker to the median 

 shade, thence with a somewhat more luteous, paler shade; interrupted 

 in some examples by a darker subterminal shade. Transverse anterior 

 line upright, irregular, broad, diffuse, only a little darker, j)receded by 

 a paler shade. Transverse posterior line irregular, indistinct, smoky, 

 outcurved over the cell, with a small inward sinuation below. Median 

 shade somewhat irregularly sinuate, best marked by the difference in 

 color between it and the paler following shade. Subterminal line very 

 irregular, toothed, angulated and sinuate, black, broken, preceded by 

 black scale shadings varying in extent, but never great. A series of 

 pale, terminal, interspaceal somewhat lunate spots. Fringes with a 

 pale interline, beyond which they are cut with light and darker shades. 

 Orbicular small, round, dusky, not defined and hardly contrasting. 

 Eeniform is an indefined, pale oval, at the end of the cell. Secondaries 

 even, smoky. Beneath, even, rather pale smoky, all wings with a dis- 

 cal spot.
