418 ON SPECIES OF HADENA — SMITH. 



Xylophasia exornata Moescbl. 



1864. Moeschl, Wien. Eut. Monatscbr. iv, 364, pi. 9, f. 5, Hadena. 

 1867. Pack., Proc. Bost. Soc. N. H. xi, 39, Hadena. 



Busty reddish brown, median space rather strongly, rest of wing 

 Gparsely black powdered. Median lines distinct, siugle. T. a. line up- 

 right, with an outward curve in submedian interspace. T. p. line with 

 outward points on veins; outwardly bent over cell, incurved below. 

 Basal line indistinct. S. t. line obsolete, traceable by a difference in 

 shade between s. t. and terminal spaces, but not otherwise. The s. t. space 

 is lighter than other portions of wing, except toward costa, where it is 

 more heavily black powdered. Claviform very small or entirely want- 

 ing. Ordinary spots rather large, paler, indefinite. Secondaries black- 

 ish or smoky fuscous, fringes paler. Beneath smoky, powdery, with 

 indefinite outer line; secondaries with discal lunule. Head and thorax 

 concolorous with primaries, the tuftings not prominent. 



Expands 33 to 40 millimetres, 1.32 to 1.60 inches. 



Habitat — Labrador, Colorado. 



The kindness of Mr. Moeschler has enabled me to examine the $ type. 

 A 9 specimen from Mr. Graef's collection is from Colorado. It is some- 

 what more sordid in appearance than the Labrador $ and is smaller, but 

 unquestionably is the same species. The distribution is interesting, 

 and ijnterveuiug points ought to yield the same species. The 9 from 

 Colorado has an anartiforni appearance not noted in the S , and caiTsed 

 by the imperfect condition of the example. The vestiture is largely 

 hairy. 



Xylophasia hulstii Grt. 



1880. Grt. N. Am. Eut. i. 93, Hadena. 



Ground color a somewhat clear bright luteous with sparse carmine 

 powderings ; superior i^ortion of median space dark brown, inferior por- 

 tion contrasting, whitish. Basal space, dark j)owdered in costa; s. t. 

 space with a broad, rather carmine shaded, dark costal patch. Basal 

 line geminate, red brown, distinct. T. a. outwardly oblique, curved be- 

 tween veins, brown; geminate at middle, the inner line formed of red 

 brown scales. T. p. line simple, nearly parallel with outer margin, with 

 outward dents on veins. S. t. line marked at inception by the dark patch 

 in 8. t. space and the pale apex, barely traceable through the rest of its 

 coarse by a sparse powdering of deep red-brown scales, and the darker 

 powdering in terminal space. A row of black terminal lunules. Clavi- 

 form moderately long, narrow, rusty. Orbicular moderate, ovate, oblique, 

 rusty ringed, with a sparse powdering of white scales. Eeniform large, 

 kidney shaped, contrasting whitish, except where invaded by the ferru- 

 ginous transverse shade which fills the cell between the spots and forms 

 an angle below reniform, running thence close to and parallel witht. p. 

 line. Secondaries ochrey fuscous, powdery; a faint discal lunule.
