more sharply defined, with more contrast and more red. The males are 

 much less contrasting, but otherwise do not differ preceptibly. No two 

 specimens are quite alike ; but in a general way we have a reddish shade 

 through the middle of the wings, a pale gray shade to the s. t. line, and 

 the s. t. line itself is rather well marked by the three subequal outcurves. 

 The species reminds one of Bryophila ; but the vestiture is rougher, and 

 there is a series of small dorsal tufts on the abdomen. 



Hadenella stibjuncta, n. sp. 



Ground colour ashen gray, varying in colour and in depth ; some- 

 times with a very strong admixture of brown or reddish. Head usually 

 darker, in pale specimens sometimes with a dark band below the 

 antennae. Collar with a blackish line in the middle. Primaries with all 

 the markings traceable in most of the specimens ; in some very dark 

 forms considerably obscured. Basal line geminate, black, usually marked 

 on the costa only. The basal space is usually powdered or light in colour 

 superiorly, while along the inner margin there is a blackish or black shade 

 below the submedian vein. T. a. line geminate, black, with a rather even 

 outcurve. The included space paler, sometimes marked with white scales. 

 The t. p. line geminate, blackish in some cases, brown in others ; the 

 included space usually white, strongly bent over the reniform and deeply 

 incurved below. The s. t. space is usually paler, more or less white 

 powdered to the whitish s. t. line. This has two large and one smaller 

 outcurve, and is defined by the dark ordinary space and a dusky pre- 

 ceding shade. The veins are marked with blackish through the paler 

 portion of the wing. There is a series of black terminal lunules, beyond 

 which there is a pale line at the base of the fringes ; the latter are 

 rather pale, but cut with smoky opposite the interspaces. A median 

 shade is marked on the costa and extends beyond the reniform, where it 

 becomes lost in some specimens ; but in others reappers close to the t. p. 

 line in the inferior portion of the wing. There is a dusky blotch which cuts 

 the s. t. line in the submedian interspace. The claviform is moderate in 

 size, of the ground colour, extends less than half way across the median 

 space, but is continued by a black streak or bar to the t. p. line. Above 

 this black bar there is a reddish shade, which varies as the examples are 

 dark or light in colour. The orbicular is oval, oblique, somewhat 

 irregular, usually paler than its setting. The reniform is kidney-shaped, 

 of good size, a little oblique, usually white marked ; but variable, 

 according to the ground colour of the wing. Secondaries dull, smoky
