inwards towards the costa ; it is bordered without by a broad diffuse 

 brown line. Beyond is a blackish submarginal line, a little angulated 

 in the discal space; edge of wing deeply scalloped, the points sub- 

 acute. The female is paler ash, less ochreous and the hind wing 

 more deeply scalloped. 



Beneath pale ash with blackish scales and minute striga? ; discal dot 

 on both pairs of wings large, rounded and distinct, the outer line com- 

 mon to both wings faintly reproduced. 



Length of body, .65 ; fore wing, .80- .82 inch. Behrens. 



Tephrosia Californiaria n. sp. 6 . 



This species belongs to the same group as T. canadaria, but the 

 wings, fore and hind, are shorter and broader; otherwise the head, 

 antennae, and form of the body are the same. Reddish ash, fore 

 wings a little deeper reddish; with three diffuse dusky brown lines, 

 the basal, on the inner fourth of the wing, curved, angulated on the 

 submedian vein, and sinuate just below the median vein; the middle 

 line is situated just beyond the discal dot, and is slightly oblique, 

 sinuate, and connected with a large dusky cloud enclosing the discal 

 dot, and sending a diffuse line to the costa and internal margin of the 

 wing. Half way between the discal dot and the outer edge of the 

 wing is a broad scalloped line deepening in tint towards the points of 

 the scallops ; a larger scallop than the others rests on the inner edge 

 of wing ; just below the middle of the wing are two large twin scal- 

 lops and two larger than the others near the apex, there being eight 

 scallops in all. A row of black dots along the edges of both wings; 

 fringe concolorous with both wings. Discal dot on fore wings minute, 

 black, surrounded by a white round spot. On the hind wing three 

 faint diffuse lines start from the inner edge, disappearing in the middle 

 of the wing. Beneath clear pale ash; discal dots distinct, costal and 

 outer edge speckled with black scales. Varies in size and distinctness 

 of median cloud on fore wings, and of the short lines on hind wings.

Tephrosia ferruginosaria n. sp. ? . 



This cannot be the female of the preceding species, though belong- 

 ing to the same section and closely allied to it structurally. It is fer- 

 ruginous ash on fore wings, thorax and head. Base of wing (inner 

 quarter) ash, with thick dusky scales, concolorous with the outer edge 

 of the wing. In the middle third of the wing is a broad dusky band,
