Dr. John B. Smith has recently named a few interesting 

 Noetuidae for me, from this region, and I here give some notes 

 on these : 



Alaria felicitata Smith. The specimen I sent was the sec- 

 ond specimen seen by Dr. Smith. 1 have a series of eleven 

 specimens in my collection taken in the Imperial Valley, March 

 3, lilllt. by Leo (Joeppinger. 



Deva palligera Grote. I have a specimen taken at 5500 feet 

 elevation on the Santa Ana river, San Bernardino Mts., July 

 28, 1907. It is a rare species. 



Euxoa recula Harvey. I have a series of thirty-eight spec- 

 imens, of this somewhat variable species, taken in the Salt 

 Wells Valley, Kern County, in October 1909. 



Pronoctua pyrophiloides Harvey. I took twenty-one spec- 

 imens of this, 100 feet in a mine tunnel, in the San Jacinto 

 Mts.. Cal, in June 1908. 



Noctua havilae Grote. I have a good series from Mt. Wil- 

 son, and what is probably the same thing from the San Ber- 

 nardino Mts. 



Trichoclea nova Smith. I have this from Pasadena and 

 Salt Wells Valley, Kern bounty. 



Stylopoda anxia Smith. Described in the .Journal New 

 York Entomological Society, XVI, 2, 1908, p. 96, from Fort ;#& 

 Wingate, New Mexico. I took three specimens at 4250 feet ';,,*£ 

 elevation, San Gabriel Mts., last July. Not before recorded from '^4 

 California. I have a related, but unidentified species, at a low- 

 er elevation near Pasadena, taken in the spring. The species 

 of this group are all very rare, only occasionally taken.
