outwardly, cut with pale beyond the veins. Secondaries pale orange with a broad, 

 black, sharply denned black outer margin, the inner edge of which is a little drawn 

 in opposite the cell and in the sub-median interspace, while it forms an outward dent 

 on vein I. Beneath, both wings yellow with a broad blackish outer border. The 

 primaries are much powdered with blackish, have no discal spot and the outer black 

 border is limited inwardly by a transverse line. The secondaries have a small black 

 discal spot and the black border is a duplicate of that of the upper side.

Two males in fair condition ; the Utah example from Mr. Tom 

 Spalding, the other from Mr. David Bruce. The latter has passed as 

 fla.va in my collection for nearly twenty years and yet it is really 

 nearer to singula. Its more striking superficial characters are the 

 very even, pale s. t. space and the uneven black border of the sec- 

 ondaries, which are not found in any other species. On the under 

 side the primaries have no discal spot while that in flava is con- 

 spicuous ; flavidens has none, but on the upper side flavidens has the 

 terminal space concolorous while in dupla it is distinctly darker. 



Although found at widely different localities and fully fifteen 

 years apart in time, the two examples before me are almost identical. 



Pseudanarata crocea Hy. Edw. 



Ground color gray. Head a little darker, uniform. Thorax ashen gray, with 

 an intermingling of darker scales ; no distinct markings. Primaries without any 

 brown shading, all the maculation black and gray. Basal line geminate, black with 

 a wide outward angle in the cell. T. a. line geminate, black, included space whit- 

 ish powdered, widely outcurved as a whole, with moderate outcurves in the inter- 

 spaces. T. p. line geminate, inner line black, lunulate, outer brown, even, included 

 space white, evenly outcurved over cell, without angles, only a little incurved below. 

 S. t. line irregularly sinuate, preceded by a series of black marks in the s. t. space 

 and followed by a more or less well marked black shading. There is a crenulate 

 white terminal line and the long fringes are cut with pale on the veins. The s. t. 

 space except where the blackish spots mark the s. t. line is powdered with gray and 

 this extends almost to the apex. Orbicular narrow, oblong, very oblique, white ringed 

 and obscurely pale powdered. Reniform large, kidney-shaped whitish marked. 

 Both spots somewhat confused by a gray shade which lightens the upper part of the 

 median space and appears like a gray blotch. There is a slightly darker shade, but no 

 obvious crossbar between median lines. Secondaries pale orange with abroad, black 

 marginal band, the inner edge of which is sharply defined and very even. Beneath, 

 both wings yellow at base and with a broad outer black marginal band ; neither with 

 a discal spot ; primaries much paler than secondaries. 



Expands, .92-. 96 inch = 23-24 mm.
