the space between the ordinary spots and spreads out into the dark lower filling, to 

 reappear on the inner margin. The orbicular is concolorous with the ground, large, 

 irregular in form, not well defined. The reniform is large, broadly oval, concolor- 

 ous, not well defined. The claviform is traceable, brown margined but not notably 

 distinct. S. t. line narrow, whitish, irregular, preceded by a large blackish brown 

 triangular patch on costal area and by a smaller, blackish spot opposite the cell. 

 Through the fawn gray terminal space is an even, well defined whitish line before 

 the base of the fringes, and followed by two narrow, broken brown lines. Secon- 

 daries dirty yellowish white with a dusky submarginal band and a vague discal spot. 

 Beneath, primaries smoky, becoming reddish gray outwardly, s. t. space and line in- 

 dicated ; secondaries whitish, powdered with reddish gray over the costal region. 



Expands. — i. 05-1. 12 inches = 26-28 mm. 



Habitat. — Arizona; southern Arizona, Poling; Palmerly, Co-

One male and two females in good or fair condition. I know of 

 nothing with which this form is likely to be confused. 

 Nocloa rivulosa, new species. 



Head and thorax reddish luteous, immaculate. Primaries dull luteous, mark- 

 ings darker, with an olivaceous tinge. Basal line traceable. T. a. line geminate, 

 zig-zag, so as to confuse the entire basal area. T. p. line geminate, both parts dis- 

 tinct, narrow, rivulous in its course and as a whole parallel with the outer margin. 

 The median shade is broad, somewhat diffuse, strongly marked, outwardly angulated 

 in the middle of the wing, its course decidedly regular. S. t. line parallel with 

 outer margin, rivulous, pale, preceded by a darker shade and followed by alternate 

 light and darker lines parallel to its course, to the outer margin. Orbicular of moderate 

 size, concolorous, not well defined. Reniform kidney-shaped, traceable with some 

 difficulty. Secondaries dull whitish, outwardly darker, with an extra- median and 

 terminal paler line. Beneath primaries yellowish to smoky, with a discal spot and 

 pale s. t. line ; secondaries pale, with a dusky discal spot and an outer dusky line. 



Expands. — 1-1.20 inches = 25-29 mm.

One male and two females in only fair condition. Two of these 

 are very old examples, the third, the male, being the only recent ex-

Heliothini. 



The accumulation of undetermined material of this series in my 

 collection led me to attempt its rearrangement recently — a task that 

 has been simplified by Sir George F. Hampson's work ; but which
