SMITH, NEW NOCTUID^ 127 



submedian interspace. S.t. line pale, irregular, incomplete. A black, somewhat 

 lunate terminal line. Fringes pale brown, obscurely cut with darker brown. Orbi- 

 cular not marked in the specimens before me. Reniform a small, upright dark bar 

 preceded by a paler shading. Secondaries smoky, darker outwardly, almost whitish 

 at base. There is a blackish median, a whitish sub-terminal, and a blackish terminal 

 line; the fringes pale dull yellowish. Beneath, powdery yellowish basally, smoky 

 or blackish beyond the middle; all wings with a small discal spot; primaries with 

 diiluse median shade, with obvious t.p. and pale s.t. line; secondaries reproducing 

 more clearly the maculation of upper surface. 

 Expands 1.24-1.32 in. = 31-33 mm. 



Habitat: Yavapai County, Arizona, July 24 (Hutson). 



One male and one female. Differs from the allied species in the paler 

 median space crossed by an obvious median shade. The secondaries are 

 as dark as in luhricalis; and as a whole it is very markedly distinct from 

 intensalis, which was collected in the same locality.
