with ochreous, maculation very indistinct, subbasal and t.a. line not traceable, 

 a few ochreous markings occupying their presumable position ; some black 

 markings in central portion of median area ; orbicular small, open towards 

 costa, otherwise heavily outlined in black, reniform large, filled with ochreous, 

 and with black margin towards base of wing, below it slight black dash ; t.p. 

 line indistinct, well outcurved below costa, then proceeding close to reniform 

 in a gentle curve to inner margin, shaded outwardly with ochreous ; three buff 

 dots on costa in subterminal area and several indistinct dots on veins forming 

 a row parallel to t.p. line ; subterminal line most prominent of all lines, inwardly 

 dentate, irregular, shaded on basal side with black and outwardly with pale 

 ochreous; terminal space lighter than remainder of wing; terminal row of 

 black lunules ; fringes dusky with ochreous basal line. Secondaries smoky, 

 lighter towards base. Beneath, light buff sprinkled with purple brown ; costa 

 of primaries with dark patch beyond middle, followed by lighter markings ; 

 secondaries with indistinct discal dot and median band. 

 Expanse, 40 mm. 



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

 The species is allied to //. cthnica Sin.; can be separated how- 

 ever by the prominent ochreous reniform. 



10. Perigea contrasta, new species. 



Female. — Palpi, collar, thorax and patagia deep brown sprinkled with 

 lighter, front and base of antenna ochreous ; primaries deep brown, slightly 

 irrorate with lighter, the whole median area with the exception of a costal 

 patch of brown being milky white ; a white subbasal line extends half across 

 wing edged with black interiorly on costal portion ; between this and the t.a. 

 line the ground color is darker, containing near costa a few white scales ; t.a. 

 line geminate, filled with white, composed below orbicular of two prominent 

 outcurved lunules ; t.p. line geminate, strongly outcurved and dentate from 

 costa to below reniform, thence composed of large incurved lunules to a point 

 on inner margin two thirds from base ; orbicular circular, white with black 

 center, irregularly outlined with black ; reniform very large, contracted in 

 middle, giving the appearance of a figure eight, white, scaled with black in 

 center and outlined with same color ; claviform outlined in black on the white 

 median ground color ; from its outer extremity a thin black line extends to 

 inner margin ; the space between orbicular and reniform, extending from 

 costa downwards to near base of latter spot, brown, the remainder of the 

 median area being milky white ; outside this area on costa three white spots ; 

 subterminal line wavy, vague, arising from darkish patch on costa ; a series 

 of small terminal dark lunules, with slight traces of white intershading; 

 fringes dark, streaked with lighter brown opposite extremities of veins ; sec- 

 ondaries ochreous at base with a broad smoky brown margin, a large discal 

 dash and a sinuous median line most marked towards the anal angle ; fringes 

 dark preceded by a terminal blackish line ; underneath, primaries brown 

 sprinkled with ochreous along costa and outer margin ; inner margin entirely
