hence the four subcostal venules are shorter than usual, but their 

 mode of branching off is the same, being much as in T. nigroseriata 

 Pack., to which the species is more closely allied than any other form 

 known to me. Antennas well pectinated, dark brown, as usual, con- 

 trasting with the rest of the body. Head, thorax and fore wings pale 

 reddish fawn color; hind wings and abdomen much paler, much more 

 whitish than in the other species. Fore wings with very uniformly 

 reddish fawn, with no conspicuous bands or rows of spots and re- 

 markably few scattered dark scales, the wings in all the other species 

 known to me being more or less densely dusted. Discal dot small, 

 black; a submarginal row of about six obscure dusky spots, arranged 

 in a straight line parallel to the outer edge. A marginal series of 

 black venular points. Fringe deeper reddish than wing itself. Hind 

 wings almost whitish fawn, unusually clear, with a few faint scat- 

 tered dark scales; a dark discal dot; fringe reddish, concolorous with 

 that on fore wings ; no other markings on the wing. Beneath both 

 wings alike, a little less pale than hind wings behind, but tinged with 

 reddish on the edges, and more specks. Discal dot and marginal 

 row of dots as above. Fringe darker than rest of wings. Hind 

 wings a little more dusted than primaries. Discal dot much larger 

 and more conspicuous than above. Abdomen not spotted. 



Length of body .50, fore wing .64 inch. California (Edwards). 



Known by its unusually falcate primaries; its clear wings free from 

 the usual bands and scales, and by its reddish hue. 



Tephrosia Canadaria Guen.? <?. I cannot find any differ- 

 ence between one rubbed 6 specimen of this species, and individ- 

 uals from New England, but others are needed for a more thorough 

 comparison. 



Hemerophila latifasciaria n. sp. id". 



Of medium size ; antennse broadly pectinated, hind wings rounded, 

 as usual well dentated. Body and wings pale ash; front with a 

 round dark spot; palpi with the third joint black. Hind edge of 

 prothorax, and hinder edge of the basal segments of the abdomen 

 with a black band. Fore wings pale ash, with a broad curved basal 

 blackish band; outer line slightly oblique; straight on the inner edge, 

 curved inwards in the middle of the wing; thence going straight to 

 the costa; this portion of the line is represented by three or four 

 venular dots, the costal one being the largest, while the posterior 

 two-thirds of the line is bordered externally by two diffuse parallel
