inner twice as broad as the outer. An interrupted fine black line at 

 the edge of the fringe on both wings. Hind wings with three lines, 

 the inner straight, the broadest and darkest wavy, within which the 

 wing is dusky. Fringe on both wings reddish snuff brown. 



Beneath, the wings are a little clearer than above, with the two 

 middle, lines very distinct, reddish brown, the inner less wavy than 

 the outer, the wing within being dusky, edge of wing with the black 

 line and fringe as above. Legs reddish brown, tarsi paler, though 

 with scattered black scales. 



Length of body <?, .35, ?, .33 inch; fore wing <? .43, ¥ .43 inch. 

 California (Edwards). 



This species is deeper brick red than usual, and the scales on the 

 palpi are longer and more spreading than usual, with four brick red 

 lines crossing the fore wings ; the middle line on hind wings is much 

 more waved than in A. Calif orniaria Pack. 



Hyria oecidentaria n. sp. 1 d". 



Fore wings with much the same shape as in H. auroraria of Eu- 

 rope, though the apex is slightly more rounded, while the hind wings 

 have the oiiter edge more rotund. Antenna? finely ciliated. Body 

 and wings very pale fawn brown, tinged very faintly with vinous, 

 vertex of head pale ; front and palpi dark brown. Fore wings clear 

 pale fawn, with the middle occupied with a broad dark hour-glass 

 shaped band, wider on the front edge than on the inner; the inner 

 side quite regularly hollowed out, the outer side produced outwards 

 in the middle, with two acute parallel teeth, and a third below situ- 

 ated farther within the wing ; below this the band dilates on the 

 inner edge, while on the costal side it goes nearly straight to the 

 costa ; a diffuse faint submarginal shade. On both wings a row of 

 venular marginal black dots. Fringe long, silky, concolorous with 

 the wing. Hind wings with same markings as on fore wings, but 

 with the submarginal shade rather more distinct; the broad band has 

 two larger teeth on the outer edge, and the shade beyond has two 

 zigzag angles parallel with it. Obscure yellowish discal dots on both 

 wings (distinct under a lens). Legs pale, fore femora and tibia? dark, 

 Beneath smoky, the bands being replaced by diffuse smoky lines. 



Length of body .24, fore wing .33 inch. California (Edwards). 



This fine species differs from an undescribed Texan species to 

 which it is structurally closely allied, in having rather darker wings, 

 with the submarginal band much darker, and the form of the middle 

 band quite different.
