the under side. Beneath, the discal dots more distinct. Beyond the 

 discal dots on fore wings are two black lines, the outer wavy; and on 

 the hind wings one line only is present, being wavy and situated 

 nearer the outer edge than its fellow on the upper side. Wings paler 

 than above. 



Length of body, .38-.48 ; fore wing, .54-.64 inch. Edwards, Beh- 

 rens. Allied to our eastern A. enucleata Guen. 



Acidalia granitaria n. sp. 6 . 



A smaller species than usual, of a granite gray, slightly tinged with 

 brown. Body dusky, with conspicuous white scales; tarsi white; 

 abdomen ringed with white; tipped with white. Antennae with 

 curved bristles. Palpi dark. Head rather dark. Inner half of 

 fore wings uniformly black pepper-colored, enclosing a black, round, 

 rather prominent discal dot, just beyond which is an oblique, slightly 

 waved, pale whitish band, bordered externally with a black line, most 

 prominent on the inner edge of the wing. Beyond this line is a nar- 

 row white line, broadest on the inner edge of the wing. Beyond is 

 a brownish, broad, diffuse band, with a row of longitudinal white spots 

 just beyond, with brownish scales between the spots. On the edge, 

 at the base of the fringe, is a row of white spots, each spot with a 

 dark spot on the outer edge consisting of a few blackish scales. 

 Frinsre concolorous with the rest of the wing. 



Hind wings marked the same as in the fore wings and colored the 

 same. Just beyond the conspicuous discal dot is a brown line; 

 beyond is a broader pale band, lined with black and with a narrow 

 whitish line beyond. Then succeeds a diffuse brownish band, and 

 the outer edge and fringe are marked in the same way. 



The same markings are repeated on the under side of the wing. 

 The discal dot is less distinct than above, beyond is a distinct sinu- 

 ate blackish line on a whitish field, and still beyond is a brown line 

 half as wide as on the upper side of the wing. The edge of the wing 

 is whitish, with fine intervenular black spots, and the fringe is 

 checkered with black opposite the ends of the venules. 



Length of body, .23 ; fore wing, .28 inch. 



Differs from the other species here noticed by its diminutive size 

 and granite gray color. Edwards.
