SMITH, NEW NOCTUIDJE 113 



Luperina innota no v. sp. 



Ground-color a reddish rusty luteous. Head and thorax concolorous, somewhat 

 deeper in reddish than primaries. Primaries with median space more reddish and 

 darker than basal and extra-median areas. Basal line barely indicated on costa. 

 T.a. line single, brown, barely relieved, outcurved in the sub-median interspace. T.p. 

 line single, brown, barely relieved, with little outward points on the veins, evenly 

 outcurved over the cell and almost evenly oblique below it. S.t. line marked near 

 costa by a brown shade in the s.t. space, thence lost, or barely marked by a slightly 

 darker preceding shade. Claviform long, narrow, extending nearly to t.p. line, but 

 so slightly relieved in outline as to be readily overlooked. Orbicular round, moderate 

 in size, a little paler, else not defined. Reniform moderate, broadly lunate, a little 

 paler than its surroundings. Secondaries pale, transparent yellowish with a smoky 

 tinge. Beneath, yellowish; secondaries paler, primaries tinged with smoky in the 

 male. 



Expands 1.36-1.45 in. = 34-36 mm. 



Habitat: Yellowstone Park, Wyoming, July 8; Arangie, Idaho. 



One male and one female in good condition, and two poor males, which 

 are probably the same; from Colorado localities. The type of maculation 

 is not unlike that of passer; but the faded, rusty, washed-out appearance 

 is more like the orthosiids of the citima type. A male example is in the 

 British Museum, and I owe acknowledgments to Sir George F. Hampson 

 for comparing it with the Museum material. 



Hadena (Luperina) birnata nov. sp. 



Head and thorax dark purplish brown, vertex of head and tip of coUar with 

 yellowish hair admixed. Primaries light brown; the upper half to t.p. line, a 

 quadrate patch in s.t. space on costa, and terminal space (save apex), dark brown 

 with a blackish shade or powdering. Basal line obscurely marked as a pale spot on 

 costa. T.a. line vaguely traceable by a paler shade across the dark portion of wing, 

 altogether lost below that. T.p. line obvious throughout its course, but hardly 

 well defined: on the costa it is obviously geminate, and makes a rather abrupt 

 even bend over the cell, well defined by the difference between the dark median and 

 pale s.t. space; below vein 2 the difference between the spaces is slight, and the 

 line is defined by a narrow line of darker brown scales. S.t. line marked chiefly by 

 the contrast between s.t. and terminal spaces, the darker shades extending inward 

 opposite the cell and in the sub-median interspaces. A series of small black terminal 

 lunules. Fringes cut with yellowish. Claviform absent, or barely marked by a few 

 black scales. Orbicular obscure, vaguely black-edged, irregular, of moderate size. 

 Reniform moderate in size, broadly lunate, discolored, lighter than the rest of the 

 wing, not completely outlined nor well defined, inferiorly, and at the branching at 

 the end of the median, marked with black scales. Secondaries even dull yellowish 

 or smoky. Beneath, yellowish gray, powdeiy; disk of primaries darker; secondaries, 

 costal area and a discal spot darker. 



Expands 1.12-1.32 in. = 28-33 mm.
