THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 71 



Hadena Evelina, n sp. 



Expanse 1.50 to 1.70 inches, length .So inch. General color of fore 

 wings dark gray, washed with wine color over subterminal space, between 

 and beyond the stigmata, and between median and submedian veins 

 between t. a. and t. p. lines, the gray having a slight purplish reflection 

 over the rest of wing. Markings black, of a brownish cast, perhaps more 

 properly vandyke brown. Lines moderately distinct, double, the enclosed 

 space a little pale : inner part only of basal half line distinct ; t. a. line 

 slightly oblique, straight in its general course ; outward teeth on subcos- 

 tal, median and submedian veins, the last two the most prominent ; t. p. 

 line only moderately outward curved beyond the cell, dentate ; claviform 

 extending one third across the median space, the t. a. and t. p. lines con- 

 nected through this by an umber shade bar ; s. t. line sometimes con- 

 tinuous, ochreous, dentate, the inner teeth interspaceal, these more promi- 

 nent ; five of them continued nearly across the s. t. space by umber 

 dashes, these connected with black interspaceal dashes that extend across 

 the terminal space to the outer margin. In others only the interspaceal 

 light points are present, with mere traces in places of the line ; stigmata 

 concolorous, annulate with broken ochraceous, with mere traces of a black 

 annulus ; orbicular large, nearly circular, slightly oblique. A basal dash 

 below half line. Fringe gray, a fine pale basal line, next to the terminal 

 black lunulate line at the end of the wing. 



Hind wings smoky white, a little more soiled terminally ; a black ter- 

 minal line ; fringe concolorous, pale at the base. 



Eyes naked ; antennae of male serrate, female simple ; head, palpi aid 

 thorax concolorous with fore wings : a central black line on the collar, a 

 black line also on pategia ; dorsal tufts on thorax and abdomen prominent, 

 concolorous. Abdomen darker than hind wings. Beneath, body pale 

 purplish gray ; tibiae unarmed. 



Described from three males and one female taken by Mr. C. F. Mc- 

 Glashan at Truckee, California ; his number, 93. I have also a faded 

 specimen from Shasta Co., Cal., taken by Mr. James Behrens. 



In color and lack of strong outward inflection of the s. t. line, forming 

 the usual M, this species belongs with H. Arctica, Bd., and its western 

 ally, H. Occide?is, Grote. The shade bar between the t. a. and t. p. lines 

 relates it to H. Bridghamii, G.R., placing it between H. Arctica and H. 

 Bridghamii,
