64 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OF 



Hadena stipata, nov. sp. 



Expanse 36 mm. Length of body 17 mm. 



Sides of the palpi black, the third joint short and barely sepa- 

 rated from the second. Abdomen smooth and untufted. 



This species is closely allied to H. cariosa, but it differs in the 

 important particulars mentioned above, as well as in the color of 

 the posterior wings, which are white with only a faint terminal 

 gray border. 



All the nervules are accompanied by deep purple black shades, 

 between which the ground color appears ; the ordinary spots are 

 indistinct, but shaped as in H. cariosa; the three longitudinal deep 

 black dashes are present as in the former species ; the exterior line 

 is also present, but it is white and fine, and is not crossed b} r the 

 median dash ; the lower portion of the median space above the 

 submedian nervure and the terminal space are purple black ; the 

 inner margin is clear and light. 



Beneath, both wings are white at the base, but suffused with gray 

 atoms outwardly ; the discal dots indistinct. 



Eab. Illinois. One specimen received from Mr. Thos. E. Bean. 



H. stipata is very closely allied to H. verbascoides and H. cariosa, 

 but we think the characters above mentioned are sufficient to sep- 

 arate it. 



The discovery of more specimens will determine its claims to 

 the rank of a good species. 



Hadena paginata, nov. sp. 



Expanse 24 mm. Length of body 9 mm. 



Abdomen smooth and untufted. Form slight. Habitus and 

 markings of H. rasilis, Morr., and H. chalcedonia, Hiibn. 



Ground color of the anterior wings uniform gray, the markings 

 very simple ; the median lines are black and simple, the exterior 

 line extends from the inner margin just before the internal angle, 

 obliquely across the wings, turning out, and forming a rounded 

 projection opposite the reniform spot ; the interior line extends 

 obliquely to the usual place of the orbicular spot, it then con- 

 tinues irregularly to the costa; the half-line present ; the ordinary 

 spots are very small, the orbicular usually obsolete, the reniform 

 whitish ; they are connected by a narrow intense black dash, which 

 sometimes encircles the spots, thus uniting together the median 

 lines ; the subterminal line obsolete. Posterior wings white, usu- 

 ally crossed by a blackish median line.
