Perigea latens, new species. 



Dull, luteous gray ; the females with a reddish tinge ; more or less powdery ; all 

 the maculation broken. Head and thorax concolorous, patagia tending to a black- 

 ish, powdery, sub-marginal line. Primaries with all the maculation traceable and 

 none of it distinct or complete ; the darker filled reniform being the most conspicuous 

 feature. Basal line geminate, black, broken, outcurved, extending to the sub-median 

 vein. T. a. line geminate, blackish, broken, only a little outcurved as a whole and 

 between the veins. T. p. line geminate, blackish, tending to become reduced to 

 venular spots below the costal region ; rather abruptly bent outwardly and then very 

 even, parallel with outer margin. A fairly defined smoky median shade crosses be- 

 tween the ordinary spots. S. t. line is pale, irregular, more or less emphasized by 

 yellow scales, preceded by a somewhat darker shade and the terminal space variable 

 but tending to paler. There is a narrow, broken, black terminal line followed by a 

 yellow line at the base of the interlined fringes. Claviform wanting or barely indi- 

 cated in the male ; always indicated but never quite complete in the female. Or- 

 bicular small, round or nearly so, black ringed, concolorous or slightly paler. Reni- 

 form moderate in size, kidney-shaped, dusky. Secondaries whitish, translucent at 

 base, becoming smoky outwardly, the fringes white. Veins and a small discal spot 

 smoky. Beneath gray, powdery, secondaries paler, both wings with an extra- 

 median transverse line and a small discal spot. 



Expands, i.oo-i.io inches = 25-27 mm. 



Habitat. — San Diego Co., Calif., V, 28; VI, 10, 21 ; IX, 16 ; 

 Yuma Co., Arizona in March. 



Three males and three females, all save one $ collected by Mr. 

 W. S. Wright for Mr. Frank A. Merrick, the odd female from Arizona 

 collected by Mr. Hutson. As a whole the females are a little broader 

 winged and perhaps a little better marked than the males ; but there 

 is little difference. The males have the antennre very shortly pecti- 

 nated ; in the females they are simple. In general form and habitus 

 this is an ally of perplexa Grt. 



Caradrina costiplaga, new species. 



Ground color a pale creamy luteous — lighter in the flown specimens, more reddish 

 and powdery in fresh examples. Head and thorax concolorous, sides of palpi brown. 

 Primaries with a conspicuous triangular, blackish or brown patch on costa just beyond 

 the middle. Its outer edge reaches the inception of the t. p. line, it extends down- 

 ward to include the reniform and its inner edge on costa is at just about the middle 

 of that margin. T. a. line single, usually marked by a small costal spot only, some- 

 times traceable by brown scales in an angulated oblique course across the wing. T. 

 p. line punctiform, evenly outcurved, the dots small, blackish and venular, easily lost 

 in flown specimens. A series of contiguous black terminal lunules basing the dusky 

 fringes. Secondaries dusty gray, with an obscure dark discal lunule and a smoky 

 terminal line. Beneath, primaries very pale luteous with costal patch of upper sur- 

 face showing through, secondaries white, with faint discal spot. 



Expands, .75-.90 inch -= 19-22 mm.
