 Santa Rita Mts., Ariz. ; Daboquavaria Mts., Ariz. 4 S 6 . Type, 

 Coll. Barnes. 



We know of nothing with which this species is closely related. 

 The white dots on outer margin of reniform and the dark patch op- 

 Ijosite the claviforni are characteristic. 



Trachea (Hadena) mactatoides sp. nov. (Plate II, fig. 20.) 



Collar purplish-gray, shaded with white, and with black transverse band ; 

 thora.x purplish, lather heavily scaled with black; primaries pale gniyish-purple, 

 shaded along costa and outer margin and in median area with darker ; basal 

 line geminate, black, only distinct on costa; t. a. line geminate, bl?ck. filled with 

 pale purple, somewhat crenulate. generally outwardly oblique, at times bent 

 inwards toward inner margin ; preceding it on inner margin an arrow-shaped 

 patch of black; orbicular oval, slightly oblique, filled with ground-color with a 

 dark central shade, outlined in black; reniform large, bent outward in lower 

 half, outlined in black, most prominently toward base of wing, with a partial 

 white annulus confined to upper and outer portions and a central white lunate 

 mark obscured in lower half by darker shading, claviform obscured by a black 

 bar extending between t. a. and t. p. lines in the submcdian fold ; t. p. line only 

 geminate on costa, rather squarely exsertcd around cell, then sinuate, followed 

 by a pale shade line crossed by fine dark dashes on the veins ; subterminal 

 space even pale purple, the palest portion of the wing; s. t. line paler than the 

 ground color, irregular, shaded inwardly narrowly with brown which expands 

 on the costa to a patch, bent outwardly shortly below costa, angled inwardly 

 opposite cell, strongly outcurved almost to outer margin between veins 2 and 

 5 ; terminal area, except at apex, dark purple-brown, sprinkled in fresh speci- 

 mens with whitish ; a faint dark broken terminal line ; fringes dark with a 

 basal row of ochreous dots or dashes at extremity of veins. Secondaries 

 smoky-brown ; fringes pale ochreous cut by a dark median line. Beneath pri- 

 maries smoky, shaded costally and outwardly with purplish-brown and with 

 traces of a dark postmedian line an<l discal dot ; secondaries ochreous, smoky 

 along outer margin and .shaded heavily along costa and outer half with purplish- 

 brown scales ; dark postmedian line and discal dot. Exjianso. 2<) nun.

We have two further specimens before us whicli are too poor 

 to make types but which agree with the types as far as the maculation 

 can be traced. The species is allied to mactata Gn. and iitdirccta Grt. 

 differs from the former in lacking the black arrow-shaj^ed dashes pre- 

 ceding the upper portion of s. t. line, and from the latter in having no 

 dark triangular patch above the anal angle in the subterminal space.
