width proceeds inward to vein Mi, somewhat interrupted in anterior third 

 by blackish scales. Secondaries white, with a very narrow marginal 

 border of black, extending to anal angle. Fringes checkered. Under- 

 neath primaries whitish, strongly suffused with black along costa and at 

 apex. Secondaries white, with traces of darker markings along costa. 



This species most nearly approaches the subrotata group, but appears 

 sufficiently distinct from all specimens examined by us to warrant a new 

 name. 



Expanse, 2)2> '^'^• 



Habitat. — Santa Catalina Mts., Ariz., i $ . 



Type. — Coll. Barnes. 



Heterocampa puiverea, var. averna, n. var. 



Similar in size and markings to puiverea, G. & R., but entirely lack- 

 ing the olive-green tinge peculiar to the eastern specimens of this species ; 

 ground colour blackish-brown shaded with lighter ; black submarginal 

 shades very distinct, white patch beyond cell not so prominent, shaded 

 with brown. Secondaries white, with a well-defined marginal border of 

 blackish and markings on costa, as in typical species. The smoky appear- 

 ance ol puiverea entirely lacking. 

 . Habitat. — Redington, Ariz. 



Type. — I $, coll. Barnes. 



This is probably the western race of this species, and in general 

 appearance is much darker than the form of the Eastern and Middle States.

A NEW STAMNODES. 



BY RICHARD F. PEARSALL, BROOKLYN, N. Y. 



In the Can. Ent. for October, 1909, page 366, I gave a brief review 

 of the genus and species of Stamnodes Guen., and among the latter I 

 included, by error, Alaskce Hulst. How my notes were made to mislead 

 me I cannot explain now, but the species does not belong there, and must 

 be stricken from the list. In this connection I will add, however, this 

 description of a new species, which rightly finds its place with the group 

 as I separate them : 



Stamnodes Reckseckeri, n. sp. — Expanse, 32 mm. Palpi short, dark 

 gray beneath, dull white above. Front white and silken-gray mixed. 

 Thorax soiled-white, with narrow central black line; patagise silken gray ;
