Rynchagrotis orbipuncta sp. nov. (PI. I, Fig. 2). 



Head, thorax, and primaries in the $ fawn brown, in the 2 largely suf- 

 fused with pale reddish ; basal line indicated by a dark spot on costa and another 

 in the center of the wing; t. a. line scarcely visible, consisting of a dark spot 

 on costa, a curved mark below the cubitus followed by an outwardly oblique 

 mark below vein 1 to inner margin; orbicular and reniform prominent, filled 

 with blackish, the former a small round dot, the latter upright, broad ; t. p. line 

 obsolescent in 2 , distinct in $ , pale, rather evenly rounded, accentuated by 

 smoky shading on both sides and with a black mark on the costa at its inception ; 

 submedian and terminal area sprinkled with smoky which is crossed by a pale 

 wavy s. t. line, preceded, especially in 2 , by small dark blotches ; terminal 

 dark dots ; fringes ochreous, cut by two smoky lines. Secondaries smoky, paler 

 towards base ; fringes pale with a yellowish basal line followed by a similar 

 smoky one. Beneath ruddy, somewhat suffused with smoky with a post- 

 median dark line and discal dot on all wings. Expanse 40 mm. 



Habitat : $ Palmerlee, Ariz. ; 2 's Huachuca Mts., Ariz. 1 $ , 4 2 . 

 Types, Coll. Barnes. 



The species is readily distinguished by the black filled spots and 

 small orbicular, which in two of the 2 's is entirely wanting ; other- 

 wise in size and coloration it is close to alcandola Sm.

Head and thorax clothed with gray and black hairs ; primaries greenish
