group as Unijuga, Walk., Irene, Behr, Californica, Edw., and tlie species described below, but 

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

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



CATOCALA FAUSTINA, NOV. SP. 



( PLATE III, FIG. 8 c? ) 



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, reniforra distinct, and surrounded by an outer circle 

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

 the reniform is a white 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 emarginations 

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



Under surface, j'rimarics white ; secondaries, interior two-thirds rosy, towards costa this 

 color becomes lost in white ; almost imj)ereeptible indications of a discal lune. 



The single type from M-hich the accompanying figure was drawn I received from Mr. W. 

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