Packard.] 34 [May 7, 



broad lines, the whole making a broad band. Costal edge speckled 

 with dark ash. Outer edge scalloped, with a black point between 

 each scallop. Hind wings concolorous with fore wings ; two parallel 

 slightly waved lines ; beyond the middle of the wing a very distinct, 

 nearly straight blackish line, with a supplementary brown shade 

 beyond. A submarginal broad shade. A black line follows the 

 scallops. Fringe whitish. Beneath uniformly pale, costa with trans- 

 verse dark strigse, the outer band forms a smoky shade beneath, and 

 on hind wings a smoky line. Legs ash, two anterior pairs of tibiae 

 and tarsi broadly banded with blackish. 

 Length of body .60, fore wing .73 inch. California (Edwards). 

 Metanema aurantiacaria n. sp. l ?. 



Body ochreous, wings orange-ochreous. Palpi slender, passing 

 slightly beyond the front. Fore wings orange-ochreous, no inner 

 line apparent, outer line oblique, but in its course very straight, not 

 bent on the costa; it is brick red in color, shaded inside towards the 

 middle of the wing with deep ferruginous orange. No markings on 

 the edge of the wing. A single line on hind wings, straight, not 

 reaching the costa, and of the same color as that on the front wings. 

 Beneath, the wings are of the same color as above, but a little clearer 

 yellow and the lines faintly reappear, that on the fore wings being a 

 little curved. 



This species belongs to the same section of the genus as M. cervi- 

 naria Pack., and is a little smaller, with the apex and angles of the 

 wing more acute ; behind the angles the wings are entire. There are 

 no discal dots, and the moth is quite different from Guenee's M.for- 

 ficaria, which does not yet seem to occur in American collections. 

 Length of body .60, of fore wing .77 inch. Nevada (Edwards). 

 Eecognized by the acutely angled wings, the straight ferruginous 

 line, and the deep orange ochre of the wings. 

 Eurhinosea 1 nov. gen. 



Allied to Caustoloma. Head of medium size. Front very wide, 

 much as in Caustoloma, the surface being convex, and the sides con- 

 verging slightly in front. On anterior edge a pointed tuft of con- 

 verging hairs extending between the palpi. $ antennae subsimple, 

 being ciliated, each joint widening anteriorly, the scales on the front 

 edge being raised and spreading out; in ? much more filiform, slightly 

 ciliated. Palpi remarkably long, second joint passing beyond the 

 head by a distance about equal to the width of the front, third joint
