subterminal line ; beyond it on costa several pale dots ; reniform an 

 obscure, dark, figure-of-eight shade ; subterminal area lighter and more 

 evenly purplish than remainder of wing ; s. t. line marked by difference of

 smoky brown ; terminal area with golden tinge; fringes dark. Secondaries 

 smoky, paler basally, with obscure discal mark ; beneath smoky, with 

 discal dots and obscure postmedian lines on both wings. Expanse, 

 26 mm. 



Habitat : White Mts.j Ariz., i <^ . Type, collection Barnes. 



Related to wiimoda Sm., but the t. p. line is not lunulate, and is 

 distinctly bent outward towards inner margin. 



Too late to avoid publication we iearn that in the foregoing article on 

 "New Species and Genera of Lepidoptera" we have in two instances created 

 a synonym. Our species Hudenella cervoides proves to be Cai-adrina 

 fragosa Grt.; Dr. Barnes has just recently compared the two types. Our 

 new genus and species Ft testa aiiormalis is Grote's Prosoparia perfus- 

 caria, placed at present in the Geometridœ. Mr. J. A. Grossbeck has 

 sent us a specimen compared with the type, remarking at the same time 

 that it is a Noctuid ; we are glad to find our opinion supported by such a 

 good authority, and trust that our figures of the structural features may 

 serve to elucidate and augment Grote's very meagre and inadequate 

 description. — J. H. McDunnough.
