76 JOHN B. SMITH. 



One male specimen from Mr. Neumoegen's collection. I should 

 not be much surprised if larger material and more critical examina- 

 tion of structural characters proved this a distinct species. At present 

 I can find nothing to separate it from the Californian/ftreto, save the 

 color ; but this is quite marked enough to authorize a varietal terra 

 in this genus. 



Leiieaiiiii imperfecta a. sp. (PI. v, fig. 10)— Ground color a dull luteous. 

 Collar lined, patagise hlackish at base of wings. Primaries clouded with smoky; 

 most obviously so over the costal region beyond the middle, along the internal 

 margin, beginning a short distance from base, over the median vein and beyond 

 it, filling the entire terminal space. The streak along and over the median vein 

 is the darkest part of the wing, and at the end of the wing it is relieved by a 

 white mark extending on the vein over the base of veins 3 and 4. A black dot 

 in the cell at the end of the median vein. A series of small, black, venular dots 

 indicate the t. p. line. All the veins are smoky, and in the interspaces above 

 vein 3 there are brown streaks shortening rapidly toward the apex. Fringes 

 smoky. Secondaries semi-transparent, whitish at base, veins smoky, a smoky 

 powdering outwardly forming a vague dusky outer margin. Beneath, primaries 

 smoky, veins darker. Secondaries whitish, powdery over the costal region. 

 Expands 35 mm. ; 1.40 inches. 



Hab. — Arizona, Neumoegen, one male. 



The species has a decided resemblance to subjmnctata Harvey, with 

 more the maculation of phragmatidicola. The primaries are darker 

 than in any species known to me except unipuncta, but are not 

 powdei-y. 



L.eiicaiiia i^tolala Grt. (PI. v, fig. 8) — Ground color a pale straw-yellow, 

 lighter than pallens. Collar dusky tipped, and with a dusky line near tip. Pa- 

 tagiffi with a dusky powdering near margin. Primaries with the median vein 

 white, a short spur marking the inception of vein 2, while veins 3 and 4 are 

 white a little distance from their point of inception. A smoky brown shade ac- 

 companies this line inferiorly, and extends beyond the cell as an elongate dusky 

 triangle between veins 4 and 6, fading out before the margin is reached. A less 

 distinct brownish shade extends along the inner margin, and a vague smoky 

 tinge is apparent over the costal and apical region. Between the veins, beyond 

 the cell, are faint, darker longitudinal lines, giving the wings there a feeble 

 strigate appearance. A row of small black terminal dots and a small dot in the 

 cell at the end of the median vein. Secondaries white. Beneath white, feebly 

 irrorate, primaries with a somewhat yellowish tinge. Expands 32 mm.; 1.28 

 inches. 



Hab. — Arizona, Neumoegen. 



A single female from Mr. Neumoegen's collection is marked 

 •' Heliophila stolata Grote Type." I cannot find any description of 

 the species; but present the above, under Mr. Grote' s name, as the 

 species seems to be a good one. The species is quite different from 

 any other known to me by the straw-colored primaries and clear 

 white secondaries.
