TWO NEW NORTH AMERICAN SPECIES OF EUSTROTIA. 



[Lepidoptera; Noetuidse.] 

 BY HARRISON G. DYAR. 



According to Sir G. F. Hampson's admirable Volume X of 

 the "Catalogue Lepidoptera Phalsenae," our genus Tripudia 

 is composed of two dissimilar groups, which he separates. 

 The species allied to quadrifera Zeller remain in Tripudia 

 Grote, which, however, becomes a synonym of Cobitbatha 

 Walker. The species allied to basicinerea Grote fall into the 

 old genus Eustrotia Hiibner. Of this particular group Hamp- 

 son recognizes three species, all from the southwest. Two 

 others before me appear distinct. 



Eustrotia antonita, new species. 



Basal part of fore wing clear gray with narrow blackish markings 

 on the costa; medial band black, narrow, excavated in the cell apd 

 again below, the latter cutting through the black but not through the 

 dull yellow outer border; space beyond this band reddish brown with 

 a faint lighter annulus at reniform; three narrow blackish marks on 

 costa; subterminal line irregular, whitish, waved, bent inward below 

 cell, with a brown inner border; a black terminal line, broken below 

 apex and near middle; fringe blackish. Hind wing fuscous brown, 

 darker on the veins. 



San Antonio, Texas (through Dr. W. Barnes), one speci- 

 men. 



Type: No. 13676, U. S. National Museum. 



Allied to E. orthozona Hampson, but with the outer part 

 of the wing of a different color, the black baud narrower and 

 broken below. 



Eustrotia santarita, new species. 



Basal part of fore wing clear gray with black streaks on the costa; 

 median black band rather broad, broadening below, straight, slightly 

 bent on its narrower upper half, edged with bright silvery; outer 

 space ocherous, with more or less reddish suffusion, especially over 

 mesial area; reniform a broad diffused paler ringlet; subterminal line 

 gray, twice excurved and arising from a dark wedged-shaped mark 

 on costa; a terminal dark line twice interrupted by pale, the fringe 

 dark except the pale spaces of terminal line. Hind wing brownish 

 fuscous, the veins darker.
