Extract

Hyloicus luscitiosa race bombax nov.

Similar to eastern luscitiosa, both fore and hind wings considerably paler, the usual sagittate black dashes on the fore wing only about half normal size.

The present form is almost undoubtedly a western race of luscitiosa, a parallel to H. gordius oslari R. & J.

Holotype.—♀, Provo, Utah (Tom Spalding) and pupal skin from which it emerged, V-14-19, unique.

We are indebted to Mr. Jeane Gunder for a photograph of the National Museum typean dto Dr. H. G. Dyar for permission given to Mr. Gunder to photograph the type. We pleasure in naming the new Eremobia in honor of Mr. Gunder.
