Habitat. — Babaquivera Mts.. Ariz. 3d'd', i$. Types Coll. Barnes. 



We have placed this species under Homohadcna as it appears to 

 show as much trace of eyelashes as is usually present in this genus 

 and in general appearance would fit in fairly well along with incomi- 

 fata Harv. From this species it is easily separated by the lighter 

 colored primaries and hyaline secondaries. 

 Euplexia brillians, new species. 



Head, thorax and patagia purplish hrown mixed with light lirovvn. 

 Abdomen gray, with a prominent tuft of purplish scales on dorsum of third 

 segment ; primaries in basal and subterminal portion pale yellow shaded with 

 purplish, the median area being a dark bronze-green ; subbasal line irregular, 

 black, extending to anal vein : beyond it in the cell two slight black marks : 

 below cubitus a black streak, shaded underneath with dark brown, merging 

 into iiurple towards inner margin : small dark brown patch on inner margin 

 near base : t.a. line evenly curved outwards, indistinct on costa, black, pre- 

 ceded by a narrow band of purplish shading ; orbicular large, oval, oblique, 

 open towards costa, outlined in black, filled with purple with some yellow 

 tinges in costal portion ; claviform, small, slightly outlined in black ; reniform 

 large, creamy, open towards costa, not outlined, but with some central dark 

 shading, most prominent in costal portion ; a dark shade, slightly darker than 

 the ground color, extends from reniform to inner margin, t.p. line indistinct 

 at costa, perpendicular to costa as far as vein 5, thence proceeding, at almost 

 right angles, to vein 3 whence it is gently incurved to inner margin at about 

 two-thirds from base ; costa from t.p. line to apex shaded with dark : below 

 this the whole subterminal space is light yellow, shaded inwardly with rosy, 

 and forming a large semitriangular patch, extending as far as the angle of the 

 t.p. line; from this point a dark olive shade extends to inner margin, leaving 

 a large rosy yellow patch above the inner margin next the t.p. line, which is 

 connected with the apical patch by a series of three pale yellow spots ; sub- 

 terminal line very close to margin, incurved opposite cell, with fairly distinct 

 \\' mark, dark in the costal half, pale in the lower portion ; terminal space 

 shaded with dark blue ; fringes dark, bordered basally with orange-yellow ; 

 secondaries suffused with smoky-brown, with traces of a post-medial line 

 angled at the cubital branches : fringes pale ochreous. 



Beneath primaries smoky, with pale yellow patch at end of cell, a sub- 

 apical orange shade, bordered outwardly with yellow, and a dark blue terminal 

 border ; inner margin pale ochreous ; secondaries ochreous, sprinkled along 

 costa and apical portions of outer margin with dark purplish : with discal dot 

 and indistinct postal-medial line. 

 Expanse 32 mm. 



Habitat. — Redington, Ariz, i ?. Type Coll. Barnes. 



This beautiful species has the same general appearance as hicipara, 

 it is however nuicli more brilliantly colored, and can easily be dis- 

 tinguished by the large pale subapical patch.
