fascia at a point near tlie upper edge of the cell (under a lens these chocolate brown markings 

 are found to be irrorated with sublustrous greenish scales) : cilia ochreous yellow. The 

 underside brownish fuscous^ with a yellow patch at the base and on the middle of the costa. 

 Hind wings brownish fuscous ; the underside greyish fuscous : cilia greyish fuscous on the 

 inner margin^ yellowish grey on the outer margin and at the apex. 2 J* . Expanse of 

 wings 16 millims. 



Lake County, California, May 10th, 1871. 



Dichelia californiana. (Plate LXV. figs. 2 & 3.) 

 Head, thorax, and palpi brownish ochreous ; antennse paler, pubescent in the male ; 

 abdomen greyish fuscous, the anal tuft ochreous. Fore wings ochreous, a light reddish- 

 brown fascia from the costa from before the middle, extending obliquely outwards towards the 

 dorsal margin, to the middle of which it is connected by a narrow streak : a wider angulated 

 fascia of the same colour, beyond the middle, is sometimes connected with the central fascia on 

 the dorsal margin. In some varieties the whole apical third of the wing is suflFused with the 

 same colour; in others there is a slender streak within the apical margin, and the pale 

 ground-colour encroaches on the outer edge of the second fascia : cilia pale ochreous. Hind 

 wings greyish fuscous. Legs pale yellowish, except the first pair of tibise, which are reddish 

 brown. 3(^,2$. Expanse of wings J* 15 millims., ? 20 millims.

Palpi extending about the length of the head beyond it, both pale straw-colour : antennae 

 pubescent in male. Fore wings — with a brown appressed costal fold at the base in the male, 

 fringed posteriorly — very pale shining straw-colour, white beneath, crossed by numerous pale 

 ferruginous streaks ; a pale ferruginous fascia, narrowly dark-margined, runs obliquely from 

 before the middle of the costa to the anal angle, emitting a branch at right angles on its 

 inner side, which reaches the dorsal margin near the base ; this fascia, passing round the anal 

 angle, is connected with a second, shorter ferruginous fascia which leaves the costa beyond the 

 middle, and has also an excrescence on its inner side : the costa at the base and apex is 

 streaked with pale ferruginous, of which colour there is also a slender line along the apical 

 margin. Hind wings white. Type c? • Expanse of wings 17 millims.
