group as Unijuga, Walk., Ireue, Behr, Callfornica, Edw., and the species described below, but 

 the grey of the upper and red of the lower wings is much darker than in any of its congenors. 

 With much regret that I can say so little of this beautiful moth, I will proceed to 



CATOCALA FAUSTINA, NOV. SP. 



( PLATE III, FIG. 8 (f ) 



Male. Expands 2| inches. 



Body above grey, beneath white. 



Upper surface, primaries blneish grey, powdered with brown atoms, marginal spots, 

 transverse lines and bands well defined, reniform di.stinct, and surrounded by an outer circle 

 which is produced in two points on exterior; sub-reniform white; above this and interior to 

 the reniform is a Mhite space ; fringe light grey. 



Secondaries scarlet, median band moderately wide, angulated at centre outwardly, and / /' 



terminates somewhat abruptly about two lines from abdominal margin ; marginal band with a 

 deep indentation between the first and second median nervules, apical spot and emargination.s 

 rosy ; fringe on exterior margin white, on interior margin grey. 



Under surface, primaries white ; secondaries, interior two-thirds rosy, towards costa this 

 color becomes lost in white ; almost imperceptible indications of a discal lune. 



The single type from which the accompanying figure was drawn I received from Mr. W. 

 H. Edwards, who stated that it had been taken iu Arizona by Lt. Wheeler's Expedition in 

 1871. It is a pretty, medium sized species, and, like most of those from the western side of 

 the Rocky Mountains, resembles wonderfully some species of Europe.

 of this line.
