more rounded, the wing being a little less falcate. Fore wings white 

 at base, and traversed by three white zigzag lines, the basal one on 

 the inner fourth of wing, with a large angle on the submedian space, 

 the apex of the angle filled in with a few black scales, as also the 

 outer side of the line (widest here) in the discal space ; from the sub- 

 median angle is thrown out a narrow white line, running through the 

 middle of an oval ochreous patch. A longitudinal white streak in 

 the discal space, and beyond a large lunate transverse white spot, the 

 two forming a very distinct exclamation mark. Beyond two parallel 

 zigzag white lines, the inner scalloped deeply below the first median 

 venule ; the outer is curved at the apex, and with a broad angle on 

 the independent vein. Fringe white, checkered with dark brown. 

 Hind wings white, fringe white. Beneath as above, but the hind 

 wings are crossed by two irregular, rather distinct and broad bands 

 of ochreous with black scales, and the base of the wing is faintly 

 peppered with dark and ochreous scales. 



Length of body .66, fore wing .82 inch. Nevada (Edwards) . 

 Arizona (Dr. Palmer, from the Museum of the Department of Agri- 

 culture at Washington). 



An exceedingly elegant moth, at once recognizable by the three 

 white lines and the mark of exclamation in the discal space, and 

 the narrowly pectinated antenna?. The specimen from Arizona is 

 in bad condition, but does not seem to differ from the Nevada ex- 

 ample. 



Panagra subminiata n. sp. 19. 



Differs from any other species known to me, by the vermillion red 

 on the costa and veins, especially beneath, the upper side of body 

 and wings being uniform ash, tinged faintly with vermillion. Front 

 reddish ash, dull red on orbits; the greyish hairs projecting between 

 the palpi well marked. Palpi stout and bushy, concolorous with the 

 orbits, with a dark spot beneath ; vertex grey, like the thorax. An- 

 tenna? reddish. Fore wings reddish ash, especially on the costa and 

 veins. A linear pale brown interrupted curved line, ending in a 

 wider costal spot. Discal dot distinct, brown. Outer line forming a 

 broad sinuate shade ending just before the costa. Fringe concolor- 

 ous with the rest of the wing, with a faint pale line just beyond the 

 middle. Hind wings a little paler than fore wings, speckled with 

 brown scales ; fringe a little darker, as in fore wings. Beneath, both 

 wings deeply tinged with vermillion, especially costa of fore pair and
