as usually wanting in the female. A broken, black terminal line. 
Secondaries white, subhyaline, with a smoky outer margin, very nar-

The Arizona specimen is the type of cita Grt., from Mr. Neumoegen’s 
collection. The type of letifica from Bastrop County, placed by its 
side, discovers absolutely no difference inany feature. The description 
of C. hartmanni French fits to these specimens perfectly, and fits 
nothing else known to me. Seven other specimens are before me, 
most of them from the Belfrage material in the U. 58. National Mus- 
eum (collection of ©. V. Riley) and show a somewhat greater range of 
variation than usual in the genus. There is quite a decided difference 
in the ground color in the sexes, the males being quite pale, while the 
females are sometimes nearly as dark as in intermedia, and look like 
small speyeri. The essential character, which is marked in all the 
specimens, is in the sinus of thet. p. line in the submedian inter- 
space, and this will enable the species to be recognized in all its 
forms. 
The sexual characters are much as in speyerit. The clasper is 
shorter and stouter, and the angles of the tip of harpes are more 
rounded. Otherwise there is little difference. The figure given here- 
with shows theclasperturned the wrong way out. It is so on the slide’ 
and the figure was made from a camera drawing. Normally it pro- 
jects outward and a little upward. In mounting, the pressure applied | 
turned the hook the wrong way and it was not noticed until too late & 
to rectify readily. 
Cucullia speyeri Lintn. 
1874. Lintn., Ent. Cont., 111, 168, Cucullia. 
Head fuscous brown with gray and black transverse lines. Collar i 
pale gray, a distinct black line at base, and a geminate brown trans- 
verse lineat middle. Patagiw pale gray, dorsum brown, as are also 
the rather distinct abdominal tufts. Primaries pale ash-gray, with a 
more or less obvious fuscous shading, most evident along the costa and 
internal margin. ‘TT. a. line vaguely indicated on costa, the long out- 
ward tooth in submedian interspace fairly evident, a shorter, more | 
acute tooth fairly distinct between vein 1 and the margin. TT. p. line — 
vaguely indicated on costa, becoming evident on vein 2, oblique in- 
wardly to the claviform which indents it a little before the end of the — 
tooth, then outwardly in an acute curve over vein 1. A narrow, broken : | 
black terminal line, wanting altogether in the female. ‘| 
black streak below vein 2 from the t. p. line to outer margin.
