wings crossed by a single curved, diffuse, dusky line, beginning on 

 outer third of costa and curving and fading away before reaching the 

 inner edge ; this slightly marked line being more regularly curved 

 than in S. jutumaria. No discal dot seen above. Hind wings free 

 from markings, fringe pinkish, and both wings beneath bathed with 

 reddish pink. On fore wings a linear, small, discal dot; on hind wings 

 a larger rounded discal dot. No band on hind wing, or any other 

 markings or dusky scales, and on fore wings is a faint reproduction of 

 the single outer line, disappearing before reaching the middle of the 

 wing. 



Length of fore wing, .86 inch. Behrens. 



A larger species than S. jutumaria, and at once recognized by the 

 red fringe and underside of wings.

This species is of the more usual form, with long slender palpi 

 reaching far beyond the head. General color pale reddish brown. 

 Head, palpi, and body, like the wings. Fore wings covered with wavy 

 brownish lines, dull whitish between ; discal dot large and round. 

 Just beyond the discal dot there is a clearer band succeeded by a 

 more dusky band widening on the costa, and lined externally at 

 intervals with whitish. At base of fringe a row of intervenular, deep 

 brown linear spots ; fringe concolorous with the rest of the wing. 

 Hind wings clear in middle and on costa. A submarginal zigzag 

 brown line, and marginal row of intervenular linear spots. 



Beneath, the curvilinear dusky discal dot is distinct^ wings clear, 

 checkered on the costa with a submarginal dusky band ; a marginal 

 row of intervenular linear spots, and a dusky spot on the fringe 

 opposite the end of each venule. 



Length of fore wing, .40 inch. Edwards. 

 Eupitheeia Nevadata n. sp. 



In this pretty species the wings are much longer than usual, ilae 

 outer edge being very oblique, the head very prominent, the protho- 

 rax being rather long, and the palpi rather short, very broad, pass- 

 ing beyond the front by a distance equal to that between the base 

 of the antennae, while in the species previously described the palpi
