THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 237 



Beneath dusty gray with traces of double common lines and discal marks. 

 Expanse 34 mil. Nebraska, Colorado, Dr. James S. Bailey. This species 

 is allied to Goodellii, but it more closely resembles the following species, 

 which, owing to the naked eyes, must be separated generically. 



Hadcna genitrix, n. s. 



% . Eyes naked. This species is of a mossy blackish olivaceous 

 with the ornamentation effaced. From the shape of the t. p. line, the 

 position of the reniform and the excavation of hind wings, it is allied to 

 curvata. Claviform outlined in part with black. Orbicular spherical, 

 complete, somewhat widely separate from the pale, half-erect, rounded 

 reniform, which is contiguous to the t. p. line. T. p. line pale-centered, 

 double, lunulate, followed by pale points. S. t. line pale ; fringes con- 

 colorous, cut with pale, preceded by black terminal dots. Hind wings 

 entirely smoky with line and discal mark. Beneath pale, shaded with 

 blackish on disc of fore wings ; black discal points, distinct on second- 

 aries and common lines ; with sprinkled black scales on both wings. 

 Thorax and head like primaries. Expanse 36 mil. Nebraska, Colorado, 

 Nevada, Dr. James S. Bailey. The median lines are further apart than 

 in M. noverca, the claviform is indicated, the reniform is somewhat oblique 

 and lies against the t. p. line, which is more uneven than in M. novefca. 

 The two species are liable to be confounded unless care is taken. 



Apatela theodori, //. s. 



g . Eyes naked ; tibia? unarmed. Cray shaded with pale brick red. 

 Head and thorax above grayish, metathoracic tuft reddish ; abdomen red- 

 dish gray. Fore wings gray with pale reddish shadings. Lines fine, 

 black, single. Basal line arcuate. A fine black streak from base along 

 submedian vein. The nervules also scantily marked with black scales. 

 Sub-basal space shaded anteriorly with reddish. T. a. line slightly out- 

 wardly oblique, irregularly lunulate. Median shade marked in black on 

 costa, commencing midway between the lines, greatly exserted medially, 

 irregularly dentate, becoming reddish below costa. Median space before 

 the shade gray, behind it reddish. Orbicular and claviform obsolete. 

 Reniform reddish, large, undefined. T. p. line interspaceally dentate, 

 rounded superiorly, thence inwardly oblique. Submedian space gray, 

 except at costa, much invaded by the acutely and deeply dentate s. t. line 

 which is preceded by black V-shaped shades, the one on submedian fold
