dentate to inner margin. Following this are two narrow lines running parallel with 

 it, the outer one blending with the outer area. External to this are three blackish 

 patches, the first on the costa, the second between Mj and M 3 and the third near the 

 anal angle. Subterminal line white, dentate, vaguely indicated, running outside the 

 dark patches. Terminal line black, interrupted. Secondaries with two broad, 

 zigzag blackish lines crossing the wing outside the discal spot ; these are best marked 

 on the lower two thirds of the wing. Between them is an ill -defined, narrow line. 

 Basal part of inner edge with scattered black scales which tends to form a patch and 

 an intradiscal line. Subterminal line white, bordering the outer edge of the second 

 of the broad black lines. Terminal line as in fore wings. Discal spot round and 

 moderate in size. Beneath, both wings whitish, the basal half of primaries shaded 

 with gray. The black lines of above are clearly reproduced and the discal spots are 

 large and of one size on both wings — smaller than that above on primaries, larger 

 than that on secondaries above. 



Type. — One female in Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia. 



Habitat. — Carr Canyon, Huachuca Mrs., Cochise Co., Arizona, 

 in August (Dr. Skinner). 



Easily recognizable by the extremely large discal spot of pri- 

 maries on a whitish background. 



3. Gymnocelis artestata, new species. 



Expanse, 18 mm. In the ornamentation of the primaries this species is very like 

 Eupithecia huachuca described below. The extradiscal line is more angular near 

 the costa than in that species and decidedly more denticulate below this angle but 

 seems otherwise the same. The secondaries are very different from those of huachuca. 

 A narrow brown line begins on the costa a little beyond the center and extends out- 

 ward in a straight line to vein M 2 , then bends, rather sharply, and runs parallel with 

 outer margin for a short distance and bending again runs to middle of inner margin. 

 On the inner edge within this line three cross lines are indicated but these extend but 

 a short distance into the wing. Beyond the line a vaguely marked, denticulate, sub- 

 terminal brown line runs completely across the wing almost parallel to the outer 

 margin. Outwardly it is edged with dirty white. Terminal line dark brown, even, 

 broken at the veins. Discal spots linear, prominent. Beneath, the lines on the pri- 

 maries are quite plainly reproduced on the outer portion of the wing. Secondaries 

 whitish, the intradiscal and rectangular extradiscal lines prominent and completely 

 crossing the wing. Two fainter lines between them are indicated on the costa and 

 inner margins, but almost or quite disappear before reaching the discal spot. Sub- 

 terminal line indicated by brown dots on the veins. Terminal line as above but 

 fainter. Discal spots present on both wings, dark brown, linear. 



Type. — One female in Academy Natural Sciences, Philadelphia. 



Habitat. — Carr Canyon, Huachuca Mts., Cochise Co., Arizona, 

 in August (Dr. Skinner). 



Easily recognized by the peculiar course of the extradiscal line on 

 the secondaries.
