Coenocharis denticularia, new species. 



Dark cinereous, not entirely uniform, light shades showing in places; lines lost, 

 the outer showing as a row of little teeth along the veins ; discal mark black, upright, 

 rather thick ; subterminal line white, sharply zigzag, contrasted. Fringe concolorous, 

 a series of black points at the ends of the veins. Hind wings more brownish cine- 

 reous, with very little marking at the anal angle. Expanse, 29 mm. 



One male, Chiricahua Mts., Arizona (H. G. Hubbard). 



Type — Cat. No. 10334, U. S. Nat. Mus. 



The species resembles Glaucifia golgolata Strecker (described as 

 Eupithecia golgolata ; see Bull. 52, U. S. N. M., No. 33 n, where the 

 name is erroneously written golgata^ , y^vX that has a claw on the fore 

 tibia. The specimen was determined by the late Dr. Hulst as Coeno- 

 charis mten'uptaria Grt., but I do not think it is that species, the 

 presence of the discal dot and the shape of the subterminal line well 

 distinguishing it. 



Family NOCTUID^E. 



Pleonectyptera noctuidalis, new species. 



Brownish gray to dark gray ; lines black, narrow, denticulate, the inner slightly 

 irregular, the outer bowed outward around the reniform ; both reddish edged, slen-^ 

 der, sometimes nearly obsolete, but ending on the costa in broad black marks which 

 persist. Reniform, a double black ringlet, partly filled in with black ; subterminal 

 line irregular, very faint. Hind wings nearly as dark as the fore wings, with narrow 

 dark mesial line and clouded discal spot. Expanse, 18 to 22 mm. 



Ten specimens, Oracle, Arizona (E. J. Oslar) ; Tucson, Arizona 

 (E. J. Oslar); Baboquivari Mts., Arizona (F. H. Snow). 

 Type.— (Z^.\.. No. 10295, U. S. Nat. Mus. 



Rhizagrotis reclivis, new species. 



Head brownish gray, a black line across the front and one before tips of tegulse ; 

 thorax dark yellowish brown with blackish shades along the patagia and centrally on 

 the disk. Fore wings ochraceous brown in basal space and along costa and upper 

 part of cell to reniform, the rest of the wing suffused with dark purplish brown except 

 an irregular space subterminally where the light ochraceous color prevails ; lines in- 

 distinct, geminate, crenulate, blackish ; claviform black outlined, very small ; orbic- 

 ular a long pointed ellipse, nearly touching the reniform, which is upright, both these 

 spots filled with the ochraceous brown color and defined below by the dark shade, 

 which becomes more blackish through the cell to the outer line ; subterminal line 

 lost; a row of black terminal dots, small, with preceding black streaks above. Hind 

 wings soiled whitish, darkest before the fringe. Expanse, 32 mm. 



Three specimens, Plummer's Island, Maryland (H. S. Barber) ; 

 Tryon, North Carolina (W. F. Fiske) ; St. Louis, Missouri (H. Mc-
