Spargaloma punctipennis, n. s. 



$ . I have only one specimen, which may not belong here. The 

 wings are somewhat narrower than usual, the apices very pointed. The 

 long terminal joint of the palpi is somewhat flattened. The color is a 

 saturated ochre, somewhat pale. The fore wings are crossed by two 

 thread-like, dark median hnes, the outer produced opposite cell, the inner 

 with a prominent indentation at middle, on cell. Median shade indicated. 

 Reniform large, concolorous, outlined. A minute black dot before internal 

 angle on the subterminal line. Hind wings darker, with a mesial line and 

 following blackish subterminal shade. Beneath ochrey. Head and collar 

 darker. Arizona, Coll. B. Neumoegen, Esq. Expanse 24 mil. The 

 colors are those of Zanclognatha, but the structure, so far as I can judge 

 of the single female I have before me, is more like Spargaloma than any 

 genus known to me. 



In this paper I have described a number of Noduidce which have been 

 of great scientific interest. They have added to the number of strong 

 genera, defined by natural characters, such as Fota and RJiodosea, and in 

 addition we have forms which are remarkable from the fresh combination 

 of characters which are found in other genera, such as Cariieades and 

 Trichorthosia. Undoubtedly this gradual work towards a comprehension 

 of our Noctuid fauna has the disadvantage of being fragmentary, but it is 

 inseparable from the conditions under which the new material is received. 

 It is, I hope, all put into such shape that it can be used by the future 

 monographer of the Family, which latter is probably the most extensive 

 among the larger moths. 



Hadenella, Gr. 



This genus is founded on a small species which at first sight looks like 

 a small Oncocneniis ; but there is a minute basal tuft on the abdomen, the 

 thorax is thickly scaled behind, the vestiture is distinctly scaly. The lash- 

 less eyes are naked. The front is remarkable for a prolonged tubercle 

 having a subcordate terminal face slightly impressed. Antennae simple, 

 ciliate. The fore wings are entire, sub-triangulate, with well produced 

 apices. The labial palpi are short, with small terminal article, just ex- 

 ceeding the infra-clypeal plate. The type, H. Per gent His Gr., has gray 

 wings shaded with light ochrey or fawn. The orbicular oblique, pale- 

 ringed with blackish centre ; below it the longer claviform is similarly 

 indicated. The reniform is transverse, black. There is a black, pre-
