vein and which extends a little beyond it, tending to connect with a more obscure, 

 triangular, subapical shading. There is a white dot at the end of the median vein. 

 A series of small black interspaceal dots marks the s. t. line. The fringes are dusky 

 and there is a series of terminal black venular points. Secondaries dirty yellowish 

 white, the veins darker and the outer margin dusky. Beneath quite uniform dull 

 pale yellowish; primaries tending to become smoky on disc; secondaries paler, 

 more diaphanous, costal area powdery. 



Expands, 1. 40-1. 52 inches = 35-38 mm. 



Habitat. — Harris County, Texas, no date; collector unknown. 



Fifteen males and three females mostly in at least fair condition. 

 The species resembles a dusky phragmatidicola and was mistaken for it 

 until the mounted series showed that the secondaries were uniformly 

 yellowish rather than white and that the color of primaries throughout 

 was deeper, more like that of juncicola, which was sent in with this 

 new form. But the color differences are not the only one separating 

 this species from phragmatidicola. In the male the tuftings of legs 

 and abdomen, while of the same type are much less marked and the 

 outer spur of the middle tibia instead of being curved and flattened 

 is very much abbreviated and has a cylindrical short, acute point. 

 The species would belong to the genus Cirphis of Hampson. 



Stylopoda anxia, new species. 



Head, thorax and primaries dull smoky brown, almost black ; abdomen and 

 secondaries deeper, more blackish brown, with a bronzed reflection. Maculation of 

 primaries reduced to an obvious s. t. line which is squarely exserted over the cell, 

 white powdered beyond an edging of black scales at that point, deeply incurved 

 below cell and there broader, conspicuously white. In one example a few white 

 scales indicate an upright t. a. line and in two of the examples there is just sufficient 

 difference in shade between the s. t. and terminal spaces, to indicate an irregular s. t. 

 line. The ordinary spots are vaguely indicated by black scales and a slightly paler 

 preceding ring, in one example also by a deepening tint between the spots. Second- 

 aries immaculate. Beneath black with an incomplete median white fascia, which is 

 better marked on the secondaries. 



Expands, .6'J-.'J2 inch = 17-18 mm. 



Habitat. — Fort Wingate, New Mexico, VII, 21, 31 ; VIII, 3; 

 collector unknown. 



Two males and one female, all flown specimen, not in the best of 

 condition ; but so characteristic that I have not hesitated to describe. 



Parora snowi, new species. 



Ground color a rather pale luteous, tending to grayish. Head and thorax uni- 

 form in color; abdomen a little paler. Primaries powdered with brown atoms over 

 the entire surface, and more or less with black scales below an oblique line which 

 extends from the end of the median vein to the apex. T. a. line single, brown,
