dots is half way between this and the outer edge; fringe brick red, 

 contrasting well with the clear tawny brown of outer two-thirds of 

 wings. Beneath uniformly pale tawny brown, with a common diffuse 

 waved middle line, doubled on the anterior half of hind wings, en- 

 closing a narrow, oval, irregular spot, and a very faint, submarginal 

 row of minute black dots; fringe red. 



Length of body, .28; fore wing, .35. Edwards. 



Macaria Californiaria n. sp. $ , ? . 



Of the normal type of the genus. Allied to M. 4-signata "Walk. 

 Pale gray, speckled with a few brown scales. Fore wing with no 

 transverse lines; three equidistant dark brown spots on the costa, 

 the basal one smallest and narrowest, the middle one triangular, the 

 outer one square and connected with an oblique row of blackish dots 

 situated on the venules; that on the independent venule being the 

 largest, and long ovate. Outside of this spot the wing is slightly 

 clouded. A row of minute black dots at base of fringe, which is 

 concolorous with the rest of the wing. The outer edge of wing is 

 not excavated. The inner is not otherwise marked, except by fre- 

 quent transverse strigse. Hind wings with no bands; an obscure dis- 

 cal dot; uniformly strigated with dark brown. Beneath, the fore wing 

 is strigated on the costa; veins distinct, testaceous. Hind wings stri- 

 gated all over the under surface, the strigae forming a slightly marked 

 diffuse band near the outer edge. Behrens and Edwards. 



Length of body, .35; fore wing, .57 inch.

Guenee does not mention the oblique, brown, narrow line present 

 on the fore wings of two $ 8 , nor the conspicuous double row of 

 black dots along the abdomen. Edwards. 



Halia cineraria n. sp. $ , 9 . 



Closely allied to H. marcescaria, but it is pale ash gray. $ Head 

 and palpi ash, wings a little paler, while H. marcescaria has a testa- 

 ceous hue. The fore wings are marked just like H. marcescaria, but 

 they are narrower, and more excavated just below the apex. The 

 strigse are a little thicker on the costa than elsewhere. There are 

 no indications of a basal line ; the outer line is situated nearer the 

 middle of the wing than in the other species ; in the middle of the 

 wing on the line is a black dot. Just beyond the line is a semi-trans- 

 lucent broad band. Discal dot as in other species. Beneath, the 

 fore wing is pale ash, clear in the middle of the wing, with a speckled
