Hadena formosus, n. sp. or var. 



Same size and shape as Hadena arctia, of which it 

 may be a variety. Head, thorax and primaries of a 

 velvety, redish brown, so dark as to nearly obliterate 

 all lines or markings', and give it a one color appear- 

 ance. There is, however, the slighest indication of a 

 sub-marginal band of a lighter shade, upon careful 

 scrutiny. Abdomen and secondaries uniform black, 

 and much darker than in the typical arctia. It has 

 also a slight metalic lustre.

Same size, shape and markings as normal form, 

 except the black transverse median band on second- 

 aries is bordered inside with a broad band of white, on 

 under side of wing, and with a very fine white line on 

 upper side. 



Five examples taken at Johnson City, N. Y., in 

 August 1917, three males and two females; but on 

 two of them there is no indication of the white line
