Habitat. — Redington, Arizona. 



Five males and four females from Dr. Wm. Barnes, at whose sug- 

 gestion I give the specific name. Some of the examples are marked 

 merely southern Arizona, Poling, and were probably taken by that 

 gentleman. 



This is yet another of the ciirialis-indiirata series, and differs from 

 nicalis in the more powdery surface, the practical similarity of the 

 sexes, the continuous s. t. shading before a definite pale line and, 

 lastly, by the much less marked thickening of the male antennae. The 

 joints here are much less marked than in nicalis and the bristle tufts 

 are small and weak. 



Tetanolita greta, new species. 



A light smoky over a whitish base, the latter becoming more obvious as the speci- 

 mens become flown. Head and thorax concolorous, the abdomen a little paler, edges 

 of segments narrowly white. Primaries in well preserved specimens rather uniformly 

 light smoky to the t. p. line, beyond which is a whitish or paler shade that is almost 

 evenly oblique and outside of that the terminal area is much darker to the paler fringes. 

 In a flown specimen the contrasts are less marked and an oblique median shade be- 

 comes apparent, as well as a dusky t. a. line ; both of which are obscured in the full 

 powdering when present. T. a. line vague at best, even, a little out-curved. T. p. 

 line narrow, smoky, crenulate, somewhat irregular but, on the whole, about parallel 

 with the outer margin. S. t. line pale, sinuate, appearing as a powdering in a dark 

 specimen and as a well defined continuous line in a flown example. A series of black 

 terminal lunules. Orbicular a small yellow dot. Reniform an indefined blackish line 

 or blotch, partly outlined by yellow scales. Secondaries on the whole continuing the 

 maculation of primaries. The base to a little beyond the middle is somewhat paler 

 than primary, then come the continuation of the t. p. line in the form of a narrow, 

 diffuse band, and the narrow pale shading, outside of which there is a broader dark 

 terminal area. Through this runs a continuation of the s. t. line which is continuous, 

 more distinct and obviously denticulate. The terminal black lunules are narrow but 

 form an almost continuous line. Beneatli, much paler and more powdery, the 

 transverse maculation of upper surface more obvious but less definite, and all wings 

 with a dark discal spot.

Habitat. — San Diego, California IX, 23, X, 6. 



Two male specimens from Mr. George H. Field: one of them 

 fully clothed with scales, the other a little flown but otherwise in 

 equally good condition. The palpi curve well up over the vertex and 

 the fringing is rather sparse. Antennas with conspicuous long, slen- 

 der lateral bristles and shorter fine hair. At about one third from 

 base is the usual little scale tuft covering only a slight distortion of the 

 antennal joints.
