Types. — One male in the Brooklyn Institute Museum ; co-types, 

 two males in the Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia and in 

 my own collection. 



Habitat. — Palmerlee, Cochise Co., Ariz., July (Doll); Carr 

 Canyon, Huachuca Mts., Cochise Co., August (Skinner). 



This a very distinct and contrastingly marked species, not easily 

 confounded with anything I know. It may be readily recognized by 

 the three black lines on the primaries widely separated and equidistant 

 to each other on the costa but touching or almost so just above the 

 inner margin. It is recorded as Selidosema polygrammaria Pack, in 

 Science Bulletin, Vol. I, p. 208, but as far as I know that species has 

 only been taken in the North Atlantic States. 



16. Stergamataea dolliata, new species. 



Expanse, $ 38, 9 42 mm. Head, thorax, abdomen and ground color of wings 

 dark flesh color with a brownish cast, the latter sprinkled over with dark scales, 

 especially in outer areas. Palpi upturned, end member small, knob-like. Outer 

 margin of fore wings almost even in male, but angled at vein M 3 in female. Prima- 

 ries with an intradiscal somewhat broken and diffuse brownish band crossing the 

 wing a little less than one third out from base, best marked on the costa and near the 

 inner margin. Median shade quite broad, formed by a heightening in the ground 

 color and crossing the wing a little outwardly of the discal spot. Extradiscal line an 

 incomplete blackish-brown band beginning on costa less than one third in from apex 

 and extending curvedly outward to middle of wing then inwardly curved to inner 

 margin, appearing as large irregular blotches on costa, between veins M 2 and M 3 and 

 between Cu 2 and inner margin ; between these blotches on veins Mj and Cuj are 

 smaller spots, each with a whitish center, and through the middle of the larger blotches 

 a whitish, denticulate line passes. Subterminal line brownish-black, incomplete, 

 denticulate, best marked opposite the large blotches of the extradiscal band. Ter- 

 minal lost in the sprinkling of dark scales over this region of the wing. Fringe con- 

 colorous with ground color. Discal spot black, rounded, distinct. Secondaries with 

 median shade, and extradiscal and subterminal lines continuous with those of prima- 

 ries and also incomplete, the extradiscal line marked on the four median veins by 

 brown spots with whitish centers, the subterminal line nearer complete and more dif- 

 fuse. Terminal line indistinctly evident on lower part of outer margin as a brownish, 

 scalloped line. Discal spot distinct. Beneath, pale even flesh color, marked on the 

 costa of primaries with brownish at the origin of the transverse lines of above, and 

 with a broad, brownish, submarginal cross-band on both wings sharply denticulate 

 outwardly but blending abruptly with the ground color inwardly. Discal spots pres- 

 ent, small. 



The above describes more particularly the male : the female is less 

 sharply marked and the whitish line passing through the large blotches 

 forming the extradiscal line is scarcely evident. 



Types. — One male and one female in the Brooklyn Institute 

 Museum.
