entire hind wings, veins vermillion ; between them finely marbled 

 with ash and brown scales. Legs tinged with reddish. 



Length of body ? (abdomen wanting) ; of fore wing .63 inch. 

 Goose Lake, Siskiyou Co., Cal. (J. Holleman). 



This fine species, communicated by Mr. Holleman, to whom the 

 Museum of the Peabody Academy is indebted for a good many rare 

 specimens from Northern California and Oregon, may at once be 

 known by the reddish ash upper side of the body and the vermillion 

 color of the under side of the wings, by the absence of the usual line 

 on the hind wings, and by the outer line on primaries being diffuse, 

 not sharply defined as usual. 



Halia 4-linearia n. sp. 2d". 



Closely resembling H. wavaria, to which section of the genus it 

 belongs, the wings being less falcate than in the other species, mar- 

 cessaria and tripunclaria. The antennas are more broadly pectinated 

 than in H. wavaria, being in this respect intermediate between H. 

 wavaria and tripunclaria. Pale ash grey. Head, palpi and body 

 being concolorous with the wings. Fore wings marked as in H. wa- 

 varia, having four distinct costal brown spots, from which as many 

 lines run parallel to each other to the costa ; the second one includes 

 the discal dot, but is straighter, not so much angulated as in //. wa- 

 varia, nor so wide just above the discal dot; the two outer hues be- 

 come obsolete in the middle of the wing, but are indicated on the 

 hind edge, the third being close to the fourth, while beyond is a 

 small dusky patch. A row of intervenular black marks, fringe con- 

 colorous with the rest of the wings. Hind wings with no marking, 

 except the discal dot, which is quite distinct. Beneath pale ash, 

 more uniformly so than in H. wavaria, tinged faintly with ochreous, 

 deeper on costa of fore wings. Discal dots present on both wings, 

 and three faint costal patches. 



Length of body .48 ; fore wing .64 inch. Sierra Nevada, Cal. 

 (Edwards) . 



Closely resembling H. wavaria, it differs in the more broadly pec- 

 tinated antennas, the less angulated narrower second line on prima- 

 ries, and the duller ash on under side of wings, which, especially the 

 secondaries, are beautifully marbled in wavaria ; in these respects it 

 resembles the species of Macaria. 



Halia tripunctaria n. sp. H,l?. 



Antennae with much longer pectinations than usual, being much 

 longer than in H. marcessaria. Palpi as usual. Fore wings with the
