Cataclysta plevie Dyar. 



1917, Dyar, Ins. Insc. Menst., V, 7%, Elophila.

 Ariz., 6000 ft., Aug., F. H. Snow, agrees with a paratype of longi- 

 pennls in the National Museum. There seems no reason to doubt the 

 locality label, so the species should be placed on N. A. lists. 



Nymphula serralinealts sp. nov. 



$ . Close)}- allied to N. gyralis Hnlst, ',\ ith similar maculation, but the 

 white transverse lines present a much more serrate appearance and the ground

9 . Similar to the female of gyralis but the central area of the secondaries 

 is defined by the black transverse lines and appears somewhat larger in size. 



Expanse: S, 22-23 mm.; 9, 27 mm. 



Hampson apparently recognized two species, but dentalinea Hamp. 

 appears to be a straight synonym of gyralis according to a specimen 

 compared with the type by Dr. jMcDunnough.
