In general style of maculation the primaries resemble regina Sm. 
but the hyaline white secondaries with dark outer border are suffi- 
ciently characteristic of the present species to warrant a name.

Hapirat. Kerrville, Texas (Nov.) (Lacey). 18. Type, Coll. Barnes. 
Belongs in the cinerosa group, but may be distinguished by its 
paler color and sharper, more contrasted markings with more promi- 
nently dentate t. a. line. We take pleasure in naming it after the col- 
lector from whom we have received so many new and interesting 
species ; it has been figured in Vol. II, No. 1 of our Contributions. 
PARASTICHTIS LIGNICOLORA ATRICLAVA subsp. noy. 
Deeper ochreous and more uniform in coloration than the type form from 
the East, without the prominent contrasts between the pale maculation and the
