A New Noctuid from California (Lep., Noctuidae). 



By CIIAS. A. 1 1 ILL, Los Angeles, California. 



Litoprosopus coachella, sp. nov. 



Head, palpi, collar, thorax and abdomen yellow ochre, antennae simple. 



Primaries yellow ochre, ordinary spots obsolete. T. A. and T. P. 

 lines subobsolete, prominent only as a short dash from costal margin, 

 outcurved, both of a Van Dyke brown and being only faintly traceable 

 below subcostal vein. Apical area washed inwardly with a muddy 

 brown in cells only, leaving the venation in slight contrast. 



Secondaries concolorous with primaries, with a line in cells parallel 

 to exterior line, both of a Van Dyke brown. In cubital cells approach- 

 ing outer margin are two small white ocelli-like spots with a ring of 

 black-brown scales, bringing same into sharp relief. Wings beneath 

 concolorous, faint yellow ochre. Alar expanse 34-36 mm. 



J-fabitat: Palm Springs, Coachella Valley, Riverside County, 

 Southern California, June 13th (H. Place). Types: 1 $ and 

 19 in coll. Hill. Described from two specimens. Allied to 

 L. fiitilis in that the characteristic ocelli-like spots in second- 

 aries are present, but of a lighter color and with parallel lines 

 in secondaries. I am indebted to Dr. \Vm. 'Barnes', for calling 

 my attention to the fact that this moth has not been described 

 as being from the United States or Mexico, so 1 venture to 

 describe it as a new species. 



In the near future this species, with a number of rarities, 

 taken by the author, in the same locality will be figured and an 

 account given of this fascinating desert region.
