of a mesial band from costa to anal angle by irregular, detached^ 

 whitish powdered spots, being smallest near apex and anal angle^ 

 and largest between first and second median nervules. 



Beneath, primaries as above. On secondaries the grayish white 

 blotches of the mesial band more pronounced and larger than on 

 upper surface, taking irregular, triangular shapes between first, and 

 second and third veins. 



Expands 2.3-10, 2.7-16 inches. 



Length of body, 1, l.Y-8 inch. 



This beautiful insect is similar in its form to H. Juno, Pack., 

 and H. Diana, Pack., but is readily distinguishable from both by 

 the glaring red abdomen of the ^ , and the black abdomen of the $ . 

 Besides, ll. Yavapai has a white sub-costal line, and other peculi- 

 arities, which do not agree with II. Juno (see Annual Rep. Pea- 

 body Acad. Sci. for 1871, p. 87 ; published April, 1872). 



H. Yavapai ? approaches H. Diana, (see Rep. Zoolog. Colh 

 Lieut.Carpenter, Colo., 1873, IT. S. Govt. Print. Ofl:., 1875, p. 557), 

 but is a much larger insect. It has not the conspicuous white band 

 on secondaries, which is the salient feature in H. Diana, but is dis- 

 tinguished by the white sub-costal line. 



H. Juno, H. Diana, II. Yavapai, inhabit the same zone^ 

 Southern, Southeastei'n Arizona and Sonora and may have a common 

 pedigree. II. Yavapai is the most distinctively marked form. It 

 has been raised by Mr. J. Doll, and of the forty ex 1. examples, at 

 present in my possession, not a single one materially deviates from 

 the description herein given. 



The habitat of H. Yavapai is Sierra Colorado and San 

 Pedro river, Arizona.

MOTHS COLLECTED BY PROF. SNOW IN NEW MEXICO, 

 WITH LIST OF EUDRIINI. 



By A. R. Grote. 



The following species have been sent to me by Professor 

 Snow from his captures this year in Northern New Mexico. The 

 species are often the same as the Texan, while some of the forms 

 are like those described from Mexico. The dangers of collecting 

 in that region from the Indians are yet quite considerable. Prof. 

 Snow very narrowly escaped capture by bands of the Apaches. 



Halesidota Labecula. n. s. 



$ . Abdomen scarlet above, beneath and at the sides yellowish ; 

 a stigmatal series of black dots and a dorsal series on the terminal 

 segments. Fore wings transparent, speckled with brown and clay 

 colored scales. Five clay spots on the costa mark the inception of 

 the transverse lines. Subterminal line, double, continued, dentate. 

 Hind v/ings yellowish, transparent, with narrow brown edging.
