blackness in other paratypes. T. a. line black, sometimes bordered mesad by 

 pale scaling, very irregular, produced to a point in center of cell, to a mesad 

 point on cubitus, brought out to a point below vein 1 and then inward again 

 to the inner margin. Claviform area a white blotch, tending to connect the t. 

 a. and t. p. lines. T. p. line faint, black, irregular, rounded out to about vein 

 5 (M^) and from thence brought inward to a point at the white claviform spot, 

 from thence as a small semi-circle to inner margin. Outwardly bordered with 

 pale scaling. A diagonal shade present from below apex to t. p. line. S. t. 

 line not present. A short black dash present in anal angle in submedian fold. 

 Fringe pale, checkered and interlined with gray-brown. The only other brown 

 markings are a small spot suffusing the reniform, a little brown scaling in the 

 diagonal shade below the apex, and a few brown scales above the black streak 

 and in the median space in the submedian fold. Secondaries blackish, darkest 

 thru the medio-cubital area along outer margin ; paler costally and in the anal 

 area. Fringe white, interlined by gray, except for the long hair on the inner 

 margin, which is blackish. Beneath : fuscous gray and white with a silky luster, 

 the veins somewhat darker, blackish. Discocellulars of the secondaries often 

 with more or less distinct black spots, and bars running thru cells to bases of 

 the wings. 



Head, tegulae, patagia, and thorax blackish gray and white mixed ; abdo- 

 men somewhat darker. Collar with some brown scaling. 



Closely allied to pulla, Grt, from which it can easily be told by 

 the general darker appearance and the almost total lack of brown 

 shades, and by the blackish instead of brownish secondaries. The 

 entire maculation has a tendency to be somewhat cleaner cut and more 

 easily distinguishable than in the sixteen specimens of pulla before 

 the authors, one of which was compared with type by Dr. J. Mc- 

 Dunnough. The new species is placed after pulla, Grt. 



We take pleasure in naming this species in honor of the collector, 

 Mr. Tom Spaulding, to whose credit must be assigned much of our 

 present knowledge of the Utah Lepidopterous fauna.

 black at the sides, pale below. Collar and tegulae in the form of a hood, pale 

 gray, with a considerable sprinkling of dark hair-like scales thruout ; tips black-
