INSECUTOR INSCITI^ MDNSTRUUS 41 



Pseiidanarta peralto Barnes & McDunnough, Check List Lep. 

 Bor. Am., 57, No. 2095, 1917. 



This species is allied to the three Mexican species described 

 by me, cristifer, senescens and nudor, especially to the former ; 

 but there are certain differences in detail. In cristifer the stig- 

 mata are darker than the ground-color and tend to be con- 

 fluent, which is not the case in peralta. 



Pseudanarta actura ate, new subspecies. 



Fore wing dark gray, more blackish through the median 

 space; lines obsolete, the outer traceable, whitish, excurved 

 over cell, pointed on vein 1 ; renif orm diffused, whitish, the 

 pale area running to costa ; a whitish blotch above tornus ; a 

 broken black terminal line. Hind wing dark yellow, with 

 moderate even outer black border, repeated beneath, the costa 

 there dark gray shaded, but without trace of discal marking; 

 fringe white. Expanse, 25 mm. 



Type, male, No. 23850, U. S. Nat. Mus. ; Loma Linda, San 

 Bernardino County, California (through J. Doll). 



Pseudanarta actura Smith is not before me, but from the 

 description, I judge the present to be a local form of it. 



Subfamily AGROTIN^ 



Schinia melliflua, new species. 



Fore wing with a broad white costal band, not quite reaching 

 apex ; rest of wing shaded with dull clay-color ; a broad dull 

 rosy shade from base, forming a point centrally and followed 

 by whitish, the remains of the inner line ; outer line similar, 

 faint, whitish, out-bent above ; subterminal space filled in with 

 dull rosy ; a dark cloud at end of cell. Hind wing white, shaded 

 with blackish outwardly on the veins and discal cross-vein ; 

 beneath white, a red mark at end of submedian fold. The fore 

 wing is marked with the same red from the end of the cell 

 to subterminal line, diffusely streaked on the veins. Expanse, 

 28 mm. 



Type, female, No. 23851, U. S. Nat. Mus.; Palm Springs, 

 California, April 20, 1916 (V. L. Clemence).
