Cidaria mancipata Guen., ii, 468. 



Cidaria nubilata n. sp. &. 



Palpi long, acute, dark, with a few pale scales on the edges ; front 

 dark in the middle, whitish on the sides. Body and wings ash ; base 

 of fore wing dark, limited externally by a white, scalloped line, 

 which is straight on the costa, with a scallop on the median space, 

 another on the submedian, and a third on the inner edge. Another 

 similar line, exactly parallel to this, crosses the wing nearly midway 

 between it and the discal spot, which is small, black, linear, ovate. 

 Beyond this spot the wing grows more and more dusky to the outer 

 line, which is white, straight, and widest on the costa, wrinkled 

 slightly below and in the middle of the wing, between the independ- 

 ent venule and the third median, forming a large, rounded, double 

 toothed projection; from the third median to the inner edge the line 

 is straight, consisting of three scallops, the central one being largest. 

 A submarginal scalloped line, zigzag towards the costa, each scal- 

 lop separate, and centered with a triangular or lunate spot. Just 

 below the apex is a round, black spot, resting on the black line on 

 the edge of the wing. Hind wings whitish, with a few short, dark 

 and white lines on the inner edge ; one sinuate, extending to the mid- 

 dle of the wing ; the outer edge of the wing is dusky, with a black, 

 marginal line, interrupted by white dots. Beneath, both wings much 

 alike, ashy, with a slight ochreous tinge, blackish along the edge of 

 the costa ; discal dot distinct on the fore wings. A dusky outer line 

 half way between the discal dot and outer edge of the wing, in- 

 dented opposite the discal dot. A submarginal row of distinct, white 

 spots, less distinct on the hind wings. A long pencil of black hairs 

 arises from the base of the fore wings, and is partially concealed by 

 the costa of the hind wings. Legs dusky, broadly ringed with white. 



Length of fore wing, .64 inch. Edwards. 



Differs from any of the succeeding species by its clear, cloudy 

 ash color, and want of any brown or ochreous tints. 



Cidaria suboehreata n. sp. 3,9. 



Palpi long, acute. Body and wings dull rusty brown, with scat- 

 tered white scales. Head, palpi, and body concolorous. Fore wings 

 dull rusty brown ; a darker band across the base ; the outer edge 

 zigzag, consisting of three acute points, that in the median space the 

 largest, very acute ; beyond, is a paler band, which is succeeded by a 

 little wider, dusky band, becoming narrower on the inner edge. A 

 lighter median band, enclosing the oval discal dot ; this band varies
