subljasal line represented by a black clash on costa ; t.a. line single, black, angled 

 below costa, then very slightly oblique, and strongly outcurved below sub- 

 median fold, lower portion edged inwardly with white and followed in median 

 area by a white shade ; orbicular and reniform indistinct, outlined in white, 

 former small with dark center, latter constricted in middle, lower portion 

 filled with dark scales, upper portion with yellowish central bar ; median area 

 usually shaded considerably with blackish, sometimes confined to the lower 

 outer portion ; t.p. line well outctirved below costa, perpendicular opposite 

 reniform, then inwardly oblique to inner margin, slightly irregular, single, 

 black, edged with ochreous outwardly and followed in subterminal area by a 

 diffuse light olive shade with a distinct bronze tinge ; subterminal line diffuse, 

 irregular, close to termen in central portion, incurved at anal angle, preceded 

 usually by a dark shade ; terminal row of black lunules ; fringes dusky, with 

 basal yellow line. Secondaries smoky, lighter towards base, with black median 

 curved line and terminal row of lunules. Beneath, primaries smoky gray, 

 with black median line and several ochreous spots on costa near apex ; sec- 

 ondaries light buff, sprinkled with darker and with prominent median line. 

 Expanse, 31-34 mm. 



Habitat. — Redington, Ariz. 6 males, 3 females. Type, Coll. 

 Barnes. 



This species resembles an Hadcna at first sight, rather than a 

 Nocloa. agrees however in structure with this latter genus, possess- 

 ing a reduced proboscis, and cup-like frontal process with central 

 tubercle, as well as naked antennae in both sexes. 



17. Azenia pulchra, new species. 



Male. — Palpi, front, collar and thorax pale ochreous, slightly tinged with 

 darker yellow ; primaries yellow with a decided olivaceous tinge, base and 

 costal margin lighter and more ochreous ; t.a. line barely visible as a slightly 

 darker shade, strongly outcurved below costa. thence directed obliquely in- 

 wardly to a point on inner margin less than one third distance from base ; the 

 orbicular is represented by a dark brown dot ; the reniform is indistinctly 

 outlined with darker scales, small, oval ; t.p. line brown, sharply angled below 

 costa, thence oblique and slightly dentate to inner margin two thirds from 

 base ; at its origin on costa a small dusky patch ; it is also slightly shaded 

 externally with pale yellow ; apex of wing with small dark patch, followed 

 along the outer margin by a narrow yellow border, much lighter than the 

 remainder of the subterminal area ; extremity of veins slightly dotted with 

 brown, fringes purplish brown. Secondaries creamy, strongly suffused with 

 smoky brown along costa and outer margin. Beneath, primaries smoky, 

 ochreous along costa and inner margin ; secondaries uniform cream colored. 



Expanse, 22 mm. 



This species possesses the reduced proboscis, the trilobate corne-
