not beak-like enough to refer it to this genus. In some specimens the 
basal pink area extends over half the wing leaving only a narrow 
band of ochreous. 
NOcTUELIA PANDORALIS sp. nov. (PI. II, Fig. 13). 
Head, thorax and primaries pale olive-brown, the latter with basal area 
more or less suffused with pink, this area defined outwardly by slight white 
scaling not attaining costa; terminal area pink preceded by a white shade band; 
fringes pale ochreous. Secondaries dark smoky with slight whitish shade above 
anal angle and subterminally on vein 2; fringes whitish ochreous. Expanse 
12 mm. 
Hasitat. Deming, N. M. (Sept. 1-7). 2 2. Types, Coll. Barnes. 
Close to the preceding, but more typically a Noctuelia in struc- 
ture. Should easily be separated by the white scaling; in the cotype 
the inner margin of the terminal pink area is very irregular, showing 
a prominent incurve above fold; in the type this margin is almost 
straight. 
HELIOTHELA COSTIPUNCTALIS sp. nov. (PI. II, Fig. 14). 
Palpi whitish; head black-brown ringed posteriorly with greenish white; 
collar dark-brown tipped with whitish; thorax and patagia black-brown, slightly 
sprinkled with whitish; abdomen similar in color with a white transverse ring 
on posterior portion of each segment; primaries deep black-brown sprinkled 
finely with whitish scales, with a small square whitish patch on costa 4 before 
apex; secondaries even black-brown; fringes on both wings dusky. Beneath 
as above. Expanse 16 mm. 
Hasitat. Kerrville, Texas (Lacey). 1 ¢. Type Coll. Barnes. 
Apparently best placed in this genus as the front is not protu- 
berant, but evenly rounded. The species much resembles a small Noc- 
tuid of the genus Spragueia. 
HELIOTHELA UNICOLORALIS sp. nov. (PI. II, Fig. 15). 
Palpi whitish; head, collar and thorax deep brown sprinkled with white; 
primaries deep black-brown with a slight bronze tinge, sprinkled with whitish 
scaling; an obscure oblique t. a. line is indicated by slight white scaling; on 
costa 14 from apex a few whitish scales show the commencement of a t. p. 
line; close to outer margin and parallel to same is a fine whitish s. t. line; 
fringes smoky with a darker basal line. Secondaries evenly dark black-brown; 
fringes paler. Beneath primaries smoky, tinged along costa with pale ochreous,
