1892. Crambidia mexicana Kirby, Cat. Lep. Het. I, 338. 
Dark mouse gray, a narrow yellow line on costa, through middle of cell to mar¬ 
gin and along the internal margin, just a trace on the outer half of submedian fold. 
Secondaries all gray. Sides and posterior part of thorax and tip of abdomen pink. 
Two specimens, Chiricahua Mts., Arizona (H. G. Hubbard). Coll 
U. S. Nat. Mus. 
More heavily shaded with gray than in the specimen figured by 
Druce, but doubtless conspecific. 
Bruceia hubbardi, sp. nov. 
Similar to B. pulver in a Neum., but smaller. The colors are the same in both 
species but the diffuse dark powderings of fore wings are differently shaped. In 
hubbardi there is a series of terminal dots, absent in pulverina, and there is a dis¬ 
tinct angular line resting on anal angle where in pulverina there is only a diffuse 
powdering. Expanse, 22-25 mm -
