and there are two claspers, both of them stout, curved and obtusely ter- 

 minated. 

 Hadena ei/mica, n. sp. 



Ground colour an even, dark, smoky brown. Head and thorax 

 immaculate. Primaries with all the usual markings present, but so 

 slightly relieved that at first sight they seem altogether wanting. 

 Ordinary lines geminate, marked on the costa by pale spots which form 

 the only visible contrasts. T. a. line nearly upright, feebly out-curved in 

 the interspaces. T. p. line punctiform, the points being followed by 

 minute white dots, very evenly bisinuate. S. t. line irregular, marked by 

 scattered white scales, and by a very slight difference between s. t. and 

 terminal space. A series of evident terminal lunules. Claviform very 

 short and broad. Orbicular rather large, round, darker filled. Reniform 

 large, upright, a little constricted centrally, with a somewhat darker 

 filling. Secondaries smoky brown, with a coppery tinge and a dusky 

 terminal line. Fringes yellow at base, and tipped with whitish. 

 Beneath smoky brown, powdery, secondaries with a darker discal spot. 



Expands 1.80 inches = 45 mm. 



Habitat: Yosemite, California; emerged July 23rd, 1 891, from a 

 larva on Manzanita. 



This is an overgrown species of the binotata series. The fringes on 

 both wings are unusually long, on the primaries just a little scalloped, on 

 the secondaries distinctly excised below the apex. The size and incon- 

 spicuous markings should separate it without difficulty from its allies. 



The male genitalia are very simple ; the harpes subparallel, tip 

 oblique and fringed with spinules, clasper moderate in length, slender, 

 curved and acute at tip. 



Hadena laetabilis, n. sp. 



Head and thorax dull brown, immaculate, save that the tips of 

 collar, edge of patagise and dorsal tuftings are sprinkled with bluish. 

 Abdomen pale mouse gray, with a brown tuft on the basal segment. 

 Primaries, median space smoky brown, basal and s. t. spaces a light 

 sapphire blue, appearing almost transparent in fresh specimens, markings 

 brown. Basal line brown, marked on the costa only, this region being 

 more or less brown powdered to the t. a. line. There is also a brown 

 powdering at the inner margin in some specimens. T. a. line marked 

 by the difference in colour between basal and median space, nearly 

 upright to the submedian vein, then with a long out-curve to the inner
