Sept., 1910.] Barnes-McDunnough : American Lepidoptera. 153 



The genus Cirphis Wlk. has been made by Hampson to include 

 most of the species at present placed under Leucania. Although the 

 outward appearance of our species does not show much resemblance 

 to the known North American forms, it agrees closely in structure. 

 It would appear to possess most affinity to Leucania liitina Sm. as, 

 far as we can judge by the description. 



Habitat. — Chiricahua Mts., Ariz, i female. Type, Coll. Barnes. 



8. Morrisonia albidior, new species. 



Female. — Palpi whitish, with sparse black hairs on outer side ; front 

 ochreous, transversely banded below antennae with dark brown ; collar, thorax 

 and patagia whitish, edged with light brown, collar crossed by a band com- 

 posed of black dots ; metathorax with tuft of dark black scales. Primaries, 

 ground color creamy, only prominent at base of wing and along costal margin ; 

 on the inner margin this creamy color is entirely obscured by dark purplish 

 brown, which on the discal portion of wing assumes the form of longitudinal 

 striations ; the terminal area is shaded with grayish purple. None of the 

 ordinary lines are distinct ; the subbasal is entirely lacking and the t.a. line 

 is only defined by a dark spot on costa and several indistinct dark brown 

 markings near inner margin about one third of the distance from base ; the 

 position of the orbicular is given by a single dark point, above which on costa 

 is a slight brownish shade ; the reniform is small, s-shaped, and composed of 

 black scales with a whitish central portion ; a few dark dashes on veins near 

 inner margin mark the position of the t.p. line ; in the outer one half of wing 

 along costa is a series of five or six black spots ; from a point just below 

 apex a prominent dark brown shade extends inward, gradually curving to a 

 point on inner margin slightly basad of anal angle ; in the central portion this 

 shade is edged outwardly with whitish and the portion of the wing exterior 

 to it is tinged with grayish purple ; fringes dark brown, checkered with ocher. 

 Secondaries smoky, with discal spot of underside showing through, fringes 

 slightly Lighter. Beneath, primaries ground color as above, shaded with smoky ; 

 on costa three fourths from base a black transverse dash ; between which and 

 apex a more intense ochreous color prevails ; traces of the oblique subapical 

 dash and of the reniform are visible, fringes as above, preceded by a terminal 

 row of black spots ; secondaries semihyaline with prominent discal spot, costal 

 area creamy, sprinkled with black ; in outer third a faint line, parallel to outer 

 margin and more heavily marked on veins ; a terminal row of black dots, not 

 reaching inner angle. 



Expanse, 28 mm. 



Habitat. — Redington, Ariz. 3 females. Types, Coll. Barnes. 



9. Trachea (Hadena) probata, new species. 



Female. — Palpi ochreous, shaded with fuscous ; head and thorax purplish 

 brown, sprinkled with buflf ; primaries, ground color purple-brown, shaded
