404 REVISION OF HOMOHADENA SMITH. 



the line extendiug through reniform aud outwardly to s. t. line. S. t. 

 line faintly marked by a slightly darker shade and the somewhat more 

 gray terminal space. The ordinary spots are outlined by rather broad 

 and somewhat indefinite pale rings, else concolorous. A row of small 

 terminal lunules. Secondaries smoky, toward base paler; a smoky me- 

 dian line. Beneath powdery, primaries smoky, with an indefinite discal 

 dot and a trace of an outer line on costa. Secondaries much paler, dis- 

 cal lunnle distinct; a distinct extra discal dark line beyond which the 

 outer margin is darker. 



Expands 1.28 inches = 32 millimetres. 



Habitat. — Missouri. 



Of this species I have seen the type from Mr. Tepper's collection 

 and a specimen in Dr. Riley's possession. It is very close to Imppa, of 

 which Mr. Grote cites it a synonym, following Dr. Harvey's suggestion 

 to that effect in Buff. Bull., iii, 6. In addition to the differences enu- 

 merated in the general introduction, this species lacks the venular dark 

 streaks which mark the s. t. line in Icappa. Figurata Harvey must come 

 very close to this. 



Honiohadena kappa Grt. 



Head, thorax, and primaries varying from fuscous gray to brown. 

 Primaries with darker shading, especially marked in the s. t. space. 

 Basal line marked on costa only. T. a. line with a variably marked but 

 always slight outward curve. T. p. line with a wide outward bend over 

 discal cell, strongly incurved below, and sinuate to the hind margin. 

 The line is followed by a distinct, though narrow pale line. S. t. line 

 marked by a darker preceding shade, through which there is a series of 

 interspaceal black dashes. The basal line is faint nearly to the t. a. line, 

 then very distinct and broad to the t. p. line. The superior longitudi- 

 nal dash begins between the ordinary spots, crosses the reniform and 

 extends to the s. t. hue, usually broadening out and transformed into a 

 blackish shade. The ordinary spots are moderate, concolorous, rather 

 indefinitely pale ringed. A series of black terminal lunules. Secon- 

 daries smoky fuscous, paler at base and with a faint median line, 

 obscured in dark specimens. Beneath primaries dark, powdery, with 

 traces of a discal spot and outer line. Secondaries paler, more pow- 

 dery; discal spot and line distinct. 



Expands 1.35 to 1.40 inches=34 to 35 millimetres. 



Habitat. — Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Texas, 



Somewhat variable in ground color and consequent distinctness of 

 maculation, but as a whole a very recognizable species. The differences 

 between it and refroversa have been already pointed out. From badi- 

 striga it differs evidently by the very faint basal dash, which in the for- 

 mer is a prominent feature. The species is not rare, but in the museum 

 series there is not, unfortunately, a single male with the abdomen in- 

 tact, so that I can not describe the genitalia.
