Panagra flavo-fasciata n. sp. 8. 



Uniform granite gray, thickly speckled uniformly over the surface 

 of the wing ; head and thorax concolorous. A slightly oblique nar- 

 row brown line, lined with yellow testaceous scales on inner quarter 

 of wing, fading away on the costa. A circular black discal dot 

 centered with white. An outer oblique, slightly sinuate yellow testa- 

 ceous line, fainter on inner edge and costa of wing, lined externally 

 with black scales ; a marginal row of triangular intervenous black 

 dots. (Hind wings and - abdomen wanting.) Beneath, uniformly 

 speckled with gray and white scales; costa a little clearer; the 

 diffuse discal spot indistinct. No bands or spots. 



Veins testaceous and distinct beneath. I refer, with slight hesita- 

 tion, a female specimen to this species from Mr. Behrens, which has 

 the two bands on the fore wings a little farther apart, and the discal 

 spot twice as large. These may be sexual differences. The hind 

 wings have a diffuse discal spot, and a single diffuse slightly sinuous 

 line beyond the middle of the wing, not reaching the costa. It does 

 not reappear beneath, though the discal dot is large and distinct. 



$ Fore wing, .56 inch ; $ fore wing, .58 inch.

Selidosema j uturuaria Guen., ii, 147. $ , 9. 



In a male received from Mr. Behrens, the wings are clearer, the 

 outer line less distinct ; the dusky cloud near the internal angle 

 of the wing is wanting, and the fringe is slightly checkered as in ? ; 

 the hind wings are crossed on the under side by a well-marked curved 

 band of large brown spots, and the under side is of a paler ashen 

 gray than in the other specimens. 



The 9 differs from $ in the fore wings being clearer beyond the 

 outer broad band, and in not having the large dark patch below the 

 middle of the wing (present in the male), while the outer edge of the 

 hind wings is clearer ; but it differs most in having the fringe check- 

 ered with white and dusky brown. Same Size as $ . A faint band on 

 under side of hind wings not present in my single male specimen. 



Selidosema Californiaria n. sp. ?. 



Pale ash, .bathed on the fringe and beneath with reddish pink; 

 the palpi are longer, and scales of front rougher than in T.jutur- 

 naria, otherwise it is structurally the same, though larger. Fore
