10 INSECUTOR INSCITIJ5 MENSTRUUS 



band a little before the middle ; subterminal band rather broad, 

 curved, shortened at tornus. Hind wing with a small dark 

 spot at base ; outer border broad, covering half of the wing. 

 Expanse, 33 mm. 



Type, male, No. 21033, U. S. Nat. Mus. ; Guadalajara, Mexi- 

 co (B. Neumoegen). 



A specimen similar to this, except that the abdomen is yel- 

 low below, is before me from the Chiricahua National Forest, 

 Arizona (Poling and Duffner). It agrees well with the de- 

 scription of arida Skinner, except that it is somewhat larger, 

 and it may be that species. C. chorion, also, may be the same 

 as arida, but I do not venture to unite them on the material 

 before me. I think that Hampson is clearly wrong in uniting 

 arida with menea. 



Cisthene tehuacana, new species. 



Head and thorax yellow ; abdomen black above, except at 

 base and tip ; legs and venter black. Fore wing black, a little 

 slaty, with narrow mesial yellow band and shortened lunate sub- 

 terminal one. Hind wing black, a small yellow spot near mid- 

 dle of costa. Expanse, 24 mm. 



Type, male. No. 21034, U. S. Nat. Mus. ; Tehuacan, Mexico, 

 September, 1910 (R. Miiller). 



Cisthene abdulla, new species. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen black, the costa narrowly yellow 

 in front ; legs and venter black. Fore wing black, slightly slaty, 

 base yellow to the middle except a short black dash at base of 

 costa. Hind wing black with a costal yellow ray on basal half. 

 Expanse, 26 mm. 



Type, male, No. 21035, U. S. Nat. Mus. ; Cuernavaca, Mex- 

 ico, September, 1914 (R. Miiller).
