OF WASHINGTON, VOLUME XIII, 1911. 69 



* 



Arizona, May 25 and June 14, 1898 (E. A. Schwarz); five 

 specimens. 



Type: No. 13677, U. S. National Museum. 



Also allied to E. orthozona, but the mesial baud is broad 

 and straight, without excavations on the inner side. 



A NEW GENUS FOR CIRRHOPHANUS DUPLICATUS. 



[Lepidoptera; Noctuidae.] 

 BY HARRISON G. DYAR. 



In his last volume, Sir G. F. Hampson includes Cirrhopha- 

 nus duplicatns Smith with a mark of doubt, and quotes 

 characters that contradict the generic diagnosis. No speci- 

 mens of this species appear to be known except the original 

 female type, which is before me. This is clearly not referable 

 to Cirrhophanns, and a new genus is required. 



Phaioecia, new genus. 



Fore wing with an areole; fore tibiae and tarsi unarmed, the tibiae 

 short and stout; frons with a rounded prominence with slight trans- 

 verse ridge at its middle, where it is truncated, with a corneous plate 

 below; abdomen with small dorsal crest at base only. 



Type: Cirrhophanus duplicates Smith. 



The genus is allied to Chalccecia Hampson (Cat. Lep. 

 Phal., ix, 182, 1910), but the front is more prominent and 

 distinctly truncated below at the ridge, while the abdominal 

 tufting differs. 



Sole species, Phaicccia duplicatus Smith. 



NOTE ON AN ARIZONA NOTODONTIAN. 

 [Lepidoptera; Notodontidse.] 



Notela angustiora Barnes and McDunnough. 



Eunotela angustiora B. & McD., Can. Ent., XLII, 212, 1910. 



This species was described from a single female. A male 

 and female are before me, through the kindness of Mr. Doll. 

 The male has the antennae pectinated to the tips, and shows 

 that the species is referable to the genus A 7 otchi rather than 

 to I^nnotchi. The male is marked like the female, but the 

 collar is entirely dark brown, not ocherous as in the female.
