Sept., 19:1.1 Smith: New Species of Noctuid.e. 143 



powdery; secondaries whitish, black powdered; all wings with an extra-n.edian 

 line and a discal spot. 



Expands i. 32-1.40 inches = 33-35 mm. 



Habitat.— Ch{vic2.\ma Mts., Arizona. 



One male and three female examples in fair condition only, ihe 

 specimens had evidently been papered and are somewhat flattened; 

 but the wings and their vestiture are practically intact. No date is 

 on the label and no indication of the source from which they were 



received. . 



The antenn.^ of the females are only a little less lengthily pecti- 

 nated than those of the male, and in this character the relation is 

 close to the typical species. The superficial resemblance is to Hadena 

 impulsa. 

 Perigonica eldana, new species. 



Ground color pale luteous with a slightly reddish tinge, variable in the 

 specimens. Head inferiorly blackish, else head and thorax concolorous, nr>- 

 ,naculate; abdomen paler. Primaries more or less obviously -"o- ^ ^ d 

 blackish, all the markings traceable, rarely complete and tendmg to obsoles 

 cence. Basal line geminate, punctiform, traceable in the best xnarked examples 

 to the inner margin. T.a. line only a little irregular, moderately o-^^-r.e^J-^ 

 outwardly oblique, the outer portion even, but tending to break ; not lunulate 

 nnlr portion powdery, punctiform or altogether lost so that the line appears 

 single. T.p. line dusky, lunulate when best marked, outer portion venular and 

 punctiform Median shade line obvious in all specimens darkest and mo t 

 obvious from the middle of costa obliquely outward to the lower edge of rem 

 form, there angled and thereafter close to and parallel w.th t.p. hne to the 

 ,nner margin, becoming less obvious in the paler examples S.t. hne o the 

 palest .^round, chiefly relieved by the dusky powdenng of the rest of the 

 Tint b^t pre;eded on costa by a dusky shading. A series of b ack terminal 

 dots. Orbicular round or a little ovate, moderate in size, outhned by b acUsh 

 scales or almost lost in the uniform powdering. Reniform upright, a little con- 

 stricted medially, vaguely outlined by a pale annulus which may or may not 

 be emphasized by blackish defining scales. Secondaries ^^^'^^^'J''l\'^'^' 

 outer border that is less marked in the male and with a smal blackish disca 

 dot. Beneath pale with a faint reddish tinge, coarsely powdered a ong the 

 costal area, all wings with a discal spot, primaries with an extramedian line
