ADDITIONS TO THE LIST OF NORTH AMERICAN LEPI- 

 DOPTERA, No. 2. 



By HARRISON G. DYAR. 

 Family RIODINID^E. 

 Apodemia hepburni Godman and Salvin. 



Mr. Oslar sent me a pair which he took in the Patagonia 

 Mountains, Arizona. The male agrees with the description in 

 the Biologia Centrali-Americana, but is rather smaller than the 

 figure. The female has more white spots than the male. The 

 form comes extremely close to palmerii Edw., which I at first 

 thought it to be, till Mr. Oslar called my attention to the differ 

 ence. 



Family NOCTUID^. 



Hadena multicolor, n. sp. 



Thorax blackish brown, lighter centrally, collar whitish in front; ab 

 domen brownish gray. Fore wings variegated in ochraceous, red brown, 

 blackish brown and white. The ground is ochraceous, appearing irregu 

 larly at base, in the elongate orbicular, in the t.-p. line opposite the cell 

 and at apex, elsewhere obscured by dark red brown shades. Lines black 

 ish, clouded, t.-a. outwardly oblique, t.-p. bent over cell with minute light 

 points on the veins. Reniform ringed in white, showing a distinct spot 

 at the outer side of the constriction ; clavifonn black outlined, obscured

 Allied to vultuosa Grote, but overspread with dark shadings 

 while the reniform is contrasting white as in apamiformis Grote. 



Hadena geminimacula, n. sp. 



Lustrous blackish brown, brown or reddish, the markings all present 

 and arranged as in pluviosa Walker, but not contrasted, something as in 

 ethnica Sm., though less extreme. Lines geminate, crenulate, pale filled ; 

 subterminal broken into a series of pale dots, edged with black cusps 

 within, its course straighter than in pluviosa*. Ordinary spots outlined
