ash colored, the fore wings scarcely darker than hinder pair. No 

 cliscal spots, or other markings. 



Length of body .55, of fore wing, .75 inch. California (Edwards). 



This seems to be a larger species than the two eastern ones, and 

 differs in the outer line being nearly straight in its course, the scal- 

 lops being well rounded, and in having no line on the hind wings, 

 and no markings apparent on the under side of either pair. The 

 fore wings are much produced at the apex, as in C . pellucidaria Pack. 

 The antennas are broadly pectinated, as usual. 



Gorytodes uncanaria Guen. 1 6. 



Body and antennas (which are broadly pectinated) pale ash, con- 

 colorous with the hind wings. Fore wings ash, speckled with brown, 

 with two dark short longitudinal streaks, one on each side of the 

 base of the median vein. The costal half of the middle area of the 

 wing occupied with a large low irregular triangular dark brown area, 

 edged externally with darker; apex ending in a knob, in one speci- 

 men produced angularly outwards, and connected with (sometimes 

 separated from) an irregularly oval patch under the third median 

 venule, and which is traversed by a longitudinal mesial white line. 

 A sinuate white marginal line, beginning just before the apex, and 

 ending on the inner angle, and edged within with dark brown. 

 Fringe pale ash checkered with blackish. A black conspicuous dis- 

 cal dot, in rubbed specimens centered with white. Hind wings pale 

 ash, with a faint discal dot, and a dark narrow marginal line. Be- 

 neath more or less marbled with dark speckles. Fore wings with two 

 parallel white lines fading away below the costal region, a slight 

 ochreous tint along the costa; a faint discal dot. Hind wings pepper 

 and salt, with two dark, parallel, broad shades, angulated on the dis- 

 cal interspace; the outer line nearly touching the edge of the wing; 

 discal dot larger and more distinct than on fore wings. 



Length of body .60, of fore wing .75 inch. California (Edwards). 



A fresh specimen received from Mr. Edwards differs from certain 

 others more rubbed (and which better agree with M. Guenee's de- 

 scription) in having the large oval brown spot below the median vein 

 of fore wings distinctly united with the large costal triangular area, 

 and in the more distinct bands on the under side of the wings. 



Gorytodes trilinearia n. sp. 2d". 



Whitish ochreous. A larger species than G. uncanaria, the an- 

 tennas with much shorter pectinations, the palpi as long, but slen- 

 derer, the wings of the same form, but with the apex of primaries
