398 EEVISION OP HOMOHADENA SMITH. 



tion. Some of the species are unkuowa to me, but all are readily place- 

 able even into a synoptic table, from the descriptions, as the maculation 

 is so simple. 



There are three series : In the first, the median lines are wanting or 

 punctiform; in the second, the median lines are present, but there is no 

 basal longitudinal line; in the third, the median lines and basal dashes 

 are all present. Tn all the species the ordinary spots are faint, or 

 more usually entirely wanting. 



In the first series are three species — two of them unknown to me, and 

 they seem closely related. So far as can be made out the differences 

 are as follows : 



Incomitata has the median lines faintly indicated by venular dots ; 

 the veins are more or less evidently black marked, and there is a row 

 of distinct terminal lunules. The color is dark fuscous or red brown. 

 It is from Texas and not uncommon. 



In picma,?i,s far as I can gather from the description, the veins are not 

 black marked and there are no terminal lunules. It is from California. 



Tnconstans is fuscous gray, the collar paler, the lines all lost, the 

 veins darker in the female only. It is from Arizona. 



The second series also contains three species, two of them unknown 

 to me. 



Figurata lacks the s. t. line, and the median lines are connected by 

 an inward tooth from the t. p. line. The species is recorded from 

 Nevada and California, and must be close to retroversa, in which the 

 basal line is faint, and the s. t. marked by a jjale shade only. An obscure 

 specimen of retroversa might readily serve as the type of figurata. 



Chorda is a simply marked species, the basal and median lines only 

 distinct, the latter not in anyway connected. The s. t. line is vague, 

 barely traceable; in color it is fuscous gray, the t. p. line nearly straight 

 below the costal angulation. The head is white, with a black line 

 between the antennie. 



Upipaschia is clayey gray, much shaded with black, the t. p. line 

 widely bent, with an acute costal tooth toward base of wing. It is 

 from New Mexico. 



The third series contains six species, five of which are known to me. 



Vuluerea, the only species with which I am unacquainted, differs 

 prominently from all the others by lacking the t. a. line — a rather un- 

 usual feature. 



Deserfa and indiita lack the black dash from the reniform outward. 

 Deserta has the basal streak extending only to the t. a. line, while in 

 induta it crosses the median space to the t. p. line. In the latter 

 species a specimen may occasionally show a faint line over reniform, 

 but in that case the t. a. line will suffice to distinguish it from badis- 

 triga with which it might else be confounded. Induta has the line out- 

 wardly oblique and distinctly sinuate, while in badistriga the line is 

 evenly outcurved.
