the male antennne of this latter species as " serrate and fasciculate " 

 we would be inclined to consider it to be this species; hcpatica how- 

 ever has strongly bipectinate antennae to near tip, stronger than in 

 flaz'iaiiiiiila Sm. As to whether there is a tuft on first abdominal 

 segment or not we are unable to determine as the body is compressed ; 

 Hampson separates the two genera Pcrigrapha and Monima on this 

 point; as far as our own personal experience goes it is a most un- 

 satisfactory method of separation, only capable of being used with 

 accuracy in absolutely fresh specimens, which, in Western material, 

 are usually few and far between. 



Monima agravens, new species. 



Female. — Eyes large, hairy; palpi and front reddish brown with mingled 

 black hairs ; antennae serrate and fasciculate ; thorax and primaries red-brown, 

 suffused slightly with purplish, immaculate except for orbicular and reniform ; 

 former a dark spot, latter a dark shade, constricted in middle and filled with 

 blackish scaling in lower portion ; secondaries suffused with pink. Beneath 

 pale pinkish with pink discal dots on both wings. 



Expanse 33.5 mm. 



Habitat. — Prescott, Ariz, i 9. Type Coll. Barnes. 



The species is so close to caloramica that one would fail to sepa- 

 rate the two on mere color and maculation. The eyes however are 

 much larger in agravens, and the antennae are distinctly different in 

 the two species, in caloramica being very finely ciliate, almost smooth, 

 whilst in agraz'cns they are plainly serrate and fasciculate. The 

 primaries are also slightly more rounded at the apex in agraz'cns 

 than in the allied species. Such morphological differences warrant, 

 in our opinion, the supposition that the two forms are distinct. 



Homohadena rustica, new species. 



Palpi and teguls reddish brown, latter crossed basally and centrally by 

 black bands and tipped with ochreous : front and thorax deep purplish brown ; 

 abdomen light gray : primaries reddish-brown, largely suffused with deep 

 purplish brown ; all maculation indistinct ; t.p. line traceable as a pale curved 

 line dotted with black on the veins ; orbicular and reniform partially and 

 obscurely outlined in blackish, or else entirely lacking ; fringes smoky, with 

 pale basal line followed by a darker one. Secondaries hyaline white, very 

 slightly bordered with smoky-brown, which tends to follow course of veins 

 backward from outer margin. Beneath white, hyaline on secondaries, sprinkled 

 with brown on costa and outer margin, more so on primaries than secondaries ; 

 traces of a dark median line crossing both wings arising from a dark spot on 

 costa of primaries ; black, broken, terminal line, not reaching anal angle on 

 secondaries ; fringes as above. 



Expanse 31 mm.
