with black anal tuft, outer margin of both wings scalloped ; primaries deep 

 brown in basal half, strongly shaded with gray in outer portion ; a broad 

 chocolate-brown band broadest on costa crosses the wing ; the inner margin of 

 this is only indistinctly defined with gray, the band tending to become entirely 

 amalgamated with basal portion of wing, which is similar in color ; outer margin 

 of band outcurved opposite cell, dentate in lower portion where it is shaded with 

 gray ; band contains a minute white dot in cell, situated on a suffused black 

 dash extending from near base of wing outwards to subterminal area ; a den- 

 tate gray line parallel to outer margin of band, followed by a series of broad, 

 black, submarginal arrow-like marks of which that between veins M3 and Cuj 

 is more in the nature of a transverse dash and situated closer to outer mar- 

 gin ; terminal area gray ; fringes dark brown. Secondaries red-brown with 

 broad, slightly darker outer border; fringes dark, tipped with white. Beneath, 

 primaries pale brown at base, darker outwardly and along costa, veins marked 

 in light ; a whitish diffuse shade on costa near apex and traces of two trans- 

 verse whitish bands ; outer margin sprinkled with purple ; secondaries pale 

 brown with banding of primaries, basal portion of costa dark brown, extending 

 inwards along first transverse band ; outer margin suffused with purplish ; 

 fringes as above. Expanse, 60 mm. 



Female. — Primaries pale reddish-brown, basal area and band slightly 

 darker ; all markings much paler and less contrasted than in ^, tending to 

 obsolescence ; secondaries, still paler, with darker marginal band of (^ scarcely 

 traceable ; beneath unicolorous light red-brown. Expanse, y:i mm. 



Habitat. — Cochise Co., Ariz. 2 6<S, 2 ??, Types, Coll. Barnes. 



Very closely related to Glover ia vcncrabilis Edw. as figured by 

 Druce (Biol. Cent. Am. Het., PI. 85, fig. 7). Through the kindness 

 of Dr. Dyar we have examined a c?" agreeing well with Druce's figure ; 

 our specimens are much darker in ground color, the gray banding of 

 primaries more irregularly dentate, especially the case with the inner of 

 the two lines beyond the cell, and the submarginal line is considerably 

 more broken and irregular towards the anal angle than in vcnerahilis. 

 Edwards's description was made from a single 2 and does not agree 

 very well with the 2 ?$ before us from Arizona. When more mate- 

 rial can be obtained it may prove but a local form of vcnerahilis, but 

 for the present the differences noted warrant it being kept distinct. 

 The specimens were received from Mr. Owen of Los Angeles, who 

 bred them during a collecting" trip in Arizona.
