NEW SPECIES OF NORTH AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 



BY WM. BARNES, S.B., M.D., DECATUR, ILLINOIS. 



(Continued from page 68.) 



Grot ell a calora, n. sp. 



Beneath, fore wing quite uniformly fuscous. A small obscure blotch 

 on costa before apex. Hind wing smoky, paler inwardly, centre dark. 

 Mesial band common to both wings. Pale discal mark on hind wing. 

 Face brownish. Head and thorax white. Abdomen concolorous with 

 hind wing. 



Types Redington, Ariz. 



This species is much smaller than septempundata, with outer row 

 of spots farther out. These together with the dark secondaries will easily 

 serve to distinguish it. The black points in this species are usually quite 

 small and show a tendency to disappear. 



Specimens from Argus Mts., which I take to be the same species, 

 show in some specimens an almost entire disappearance of the spots. 



Grotella sampita, n. sp. — Expanse, (t 22 mm., $ 24 mm. 



Fore wing chalky white, with black spot on costa at base, with a 

 second one just below it. Black spot on costa at junction of inner and 

 middle third, another one on inner margin opposite to it, a third in middle 

 of wing, internal to the other two. Second row of black spots across 

 wing at end of cell, the row being slightly outcurved and composed of 

 four spots, one on costa, the second slightly below it, one on inner margin, 

 the second slightly above it. This band begins at about the junction of 

 middle and outer thirds of costa. A well-marked row of intervenular 

 terminal black points. Fringe white. Secondaries pale fuscous, almost 

 white along inner margin. Faint discal bar. Fringe white, with well. 

 marked row of black points at base. Face black. Head and thorax 

 white, the latter slightly creamy. 



Beneath, fore wings evenly fuscous. Fringe white with fuscous 

 spots at base. Hind wing white, with distinct discal dot, with rather 

 broad fuscous band along costa. Terminal fuscous broken line at base 

 of fringe.
