THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 163 



Note 4. — Catocala IVahhii, Edwards, is still unknown to me. I 

 believe the types perished in the Chicago fire. It must be nearly allied to 

 unijaga. Mr. Edwards' description of the fore wings, " Primaries yellow- 

 ish brown, clouded between the transverse lines with grey ; markings 

 indistinct, but similar to Uniguga, Walk ; reniform ferruginous, in a pale 

 circlet," is not exhaustive, but it contains nothing contradicting Walker's 

 description of C. juactura. 



Catocala Arizona:, Grote. 



Size large. Eore wings dentate, rather uniformly dark grayish brown 

 witli a glaucous shade over the more grayish median space. Median lines 

 black and rather bread. A whitish shade before the brown-tinged, broadly 

 bisannulate reniform. Sub-reniform rather small, pyriform, whitish brown, 

 connected with the t. p. line, tending to become narrowly open. T. p. 

 line well produced opposite the cell, with two sub-equal rather prominent 

 teeth. A not very deep but broadly marked sub-median sinus. The dark 

 scales tend to connect with the t. a. line along the sub-median interspace. 

 The grey sub-terminal shade, preceding the dentate dark line itself, is not 

 erect, but runs obliquely backward to costa above vein 6. Secondaries 

 pinkish red. Median band rather narrow, not much curved, nearly even, 

 rounding and becoming narrower below vein 2, and terminating at vein 

 t. rginal band rather narrow, rather deeply excavate opposite the 



termination of the median band, and leaving a yellowish apical space 

 tinged with red. Beneath largely pinkish red ; the median whitish space 

 on primaries also tinged with red inferiorly. The median band as on 

 upper surface, and seen to terminate a very little before vein 1. Thorax 

 and collar brownish, without perceptible lines. Expanse 80 m. m. 



I have received this species from Professor Townend Glover, of the 

 Agricultural Department at Washington. It is labelled " Borders of 

 Arizona and New Mexico. — Dr. Palmer. ;; It is apparently nearest to C. 

 amatrix, than which it has more obscurely brown primaries and is perhaps 

 intermediate in character between the group of C. amatrix and the Cali- 

 fornian red-winged species, represented by C. californica. 



Note. — In my list of the species of Catocala, p. 164, 1872, I 

 enumerated 59 species of the genus from our Territory. The total num- 

 ber must be now increased to 63. Of these n, viz., Stretchii Behr., 

 adultera Hinze, Irene Behr., Walshii Edwards, uxor Guenee, zoc Behr.,
