small outward bends in the interspaces. T. p. line geminate on costa only, thence 

 narrow, single, broken, luteous, squarely exserted over the cell and deeply incurved 

 beneath. This line runs entirely through the white area and is not at all well-marked. 

 S. t. line very close to the outer margin, broken, very irregular, marked partly by 

 white scale lunules, partly by preceding or following irregular black spots. A broken, 

 black terminal line. Fringes brown at base ; outer half alternately cut with brown 

 and white. Claviform a very small black loop, filled with white scales. Orbicular 

 small, round, black ringed, with a white inner annulus and a small brown central dot. 

 Reniform rather large, kidney-shaped, very imperfectly outlined by luteous scales, the 

 whole macula being included in the white band. Secondaries white, a little luteous 

 at base, with a broad black marginal band and white fringes. Beneath white with 

 a broad black marg-'nal band. Primaries smoky in the costal region and toward base: 

 fringes interlined and cut with black and white. Secondaries black-powdery on 

 costa toward base, with a small black discal dot and with white fringes. Expands 

 I inch -= 25 mm. 



Habitat. — Poncha Springs, Colorado, August 14th, Oslar. 



One male in good condition. It belongs to the levis series, in 

 which the fringes are long and the outer black band of the secondaries 

 is defined. When spread there appears a continuous white band 

 across both wings somewhat as \n fasciata : but this is a smaller species 

 and quite distinct. 



Oncocnemis regina, sp. nov. 



Head, thorax and primaries very pale a.shen gray with a yellowish tinge. Head 

 and base of collar with a somewhat reddish shade, the thoracic parts speckled with 

 black scales. Primaries with all the maculation present, but with a washed-out, 

 faded, powdery appearance. Basal line feebly traceable, single. T. a. line single, 

 narrow, brown, even, with an even outcurve. T. p. line blackish, single, irregularly 

 dentate, broadly outcurved over the cell and a little incurved below ; followed by a 

 creamy yellow shade which is the palest portion of the primary. Through the center 

 of the wing is a broad, vague, diffuse brown band. The s. t. line consists of yellow- 

 ish preceded by blackish scales, which emphasize the line and then fade into the s. t. 

 space, which, as a whole, is darker than the terminal space. The latter is a very finely 

 powdered creamy gray. Fringes yellowish, with brown lunules opposite the veins. 

 Claviform wanting. Orbicular round, moderate in size, with a broad yellowish an- 

 nulus ; the center of the ground color. Reniform moderate in size, broadly kidney- 

 shaped, yellow, with a central darker shading. Secondaries washed-out yellow, with 

 abroad black border, the fringes yellow. Beneath, both wings yellow, with broad 

 black borders and yellow fringes. Expands 1.12 inches = 28 mm. 



ffabitat. — Reg'ma, N. \V. T. , 1S86, Dr. James Fletcher. 



A single male, in poor condition, but with the wings of one side 

 nearly perfect. I have had it in my collection for years, awaiting a 

 mate ; but up to the |)resent time none has appeared. The species is 

 much paler and has a more faded, washed-out ap])earance than any 

 other of the yellow-winged forms.
