Secondaries and fringes bright yellow, immaculate, with a distinct broad black 

 marginal band from costa to anal angle. hSeneatb, primaries, briglit yellow, slightly 

 dusted with brown grains along costa. A broad black transverse marginal band 

 covering nearly one-third ot the wing. Secoiularies brij^ht yellov\-, slightly dusted 

 with brown along costa. The same broad black marginal b.ind as on upper surtace. 

 A small black discal spot. 



Expanse of wings, 20 mm. Length of body, 8 tniii. 



Habitat — Ft. Huachuca, Arizona (Morrison). l"}'pe, (^. Coll., 

 B. Neumoegen. 



The only representative of its tribe with falcate wings so far known, 

 nearing otherwise in appearance A. flava. 



The species is autoptically unknown lo tne, ;ind the above is Mr. 

 Neumoegen's original description. The wing form is so unlike the other 

 species, as to suggest a doubt of the generic reference.

" (^f smaller thati H.jlava. P'ore wings daik blackish brown, darker from the 

 arcuate single t. a. line over the anterior half of the median space. Reniform pale, 

 whitish, spherical, standing out, the only grominent feature of the dark primaries, 

 repeated beneath, fringes concolorous. The wing is pa!est about the reniform and 

 over subterminal space. Hind wings orange yellow with broad even black costal 

 termmal border ; beneath as above. Body parts blackish. This species is remark- 

 able for the similarity between the upper and lower surfaces of the wings. 



Habitat — Southern Te.xas, Prof. J. A. Lintner. '' 



"Very different Uoxn flava, by the black costal border of the orange 

 secondaries and the narrower and more even hind border." 



The above is Mr. Grote's original description. 1 have seen nothing 

 to accord with it thus far. It is also recorded from Arizona.

 Head, thorax and primaries blackish fuscous. Patagia? black margined and 

 white tipped. Collar also pale tipped. Primaries with a brown suffusion through 

 median space. Basal half line geminate, distinct. A short bkuk dash at ba-e and 

 another on internal margin variably defined and sometimes wanting. T. n. line 

 distinctly geminate, included space bluish white ; the line outwardly curved, and 

 angulated, most distinctly in the sub-median interspace. T. p. line geminate out- 

 wardly curved over reniform then parallel with outer margin and somewhat sinuate 

 to the internal margin. The inner line distinctly black, included space bluish white. 

 P>eyond this line is a bluish white shade extending to the s. t. line, and through the 

 centre of which is a more or less di-tnict ijrownish shade most marked on costa. .S. t. 

 line pale irregular, more or less marked with blackish preceding spots. A narrow 

 more or less distinct l^lack line through sul)-median interspace connects the median 

 lines, which are very variable distances apart. Orbicular concolorous, obli(|ue, nar- 

 rowly v\hite ringed somewhat vaiying in shape. Reniform upright elongate, con- 

 stricted centrally, narrowly white ringed, also variable in shape.
