Catocala Perditu. Hy. Edw. n. sp. 
Very closely allied to the last species, and, but for Mr. Strecker’s assurance 
to the contrary, I should have considered it identical. The transverse lines, 
however, are heavier, and the reniform spot is more distinctly gray in color. 
The mesial band of secondaries is wider, and continued further towards the 
abdominal margin. The apices are pure white, without any tint of rose color, 
and the amount of red on the lower side is very decidedly less than is to be 
found in Faustina. In other respects I can perceive no difference. 
San Mateo County, Cal. (Coll. Hy. Edw.) 
Catocala Hippolyta. Hy. Edw. n. sp. 
Primaries, pale silver gray, the whole of the lines brownish, distinct. T. 
a., shaded with dark, particularly on costa. T.p., with the teeth very regu- 
lar, almost in a line with each other, and of equal length. Reniform, 
brownish, indistinct. Sub-reniform, whitish, not connected with the t. p. 
line. Subterminal line, with regular tecth, but pale and rather indistinct. 
Secondaries, yellowish red, same color asin Parta. Marginal, broad on 
apex, unusually narrow towards abdominal margin, where are two deep in- 
dentations. Mesial band, exceedingly narrow, widest in the middle, term- 
inating very abruptly about two-tenths of an inch from the margin. Apices 
and marginations, slightly rosy. Fringe, white. Under surface, as in 
Perdita. 
Head and thorax, gray, mixed with white. Abdomen, pale grayish drab. 
Expanse of wings, 2.75 inch. 
San Mateo County, Cal. (Coll. Hy. Edw.) 
This is a beautiful and strongly marked species, the very pale gray of the 
primaries, and the remarkably narrow mesial band of secondaries, serving to 
distinguish it from any other with which I am acquainted. 
Catocala Luciana. Hy. Edw. un. sp. 
Primaries, brownish, gray, with yellowish tinge; the whole of the lines and 
spots very heavy and strongly marked, shading into black on the margin. 
Reniform, large, blackish, surrounded by paler ring. Sub-reniform, distinct, 
open, fawn drab. 
Secondaries, yellowish red, color of Parta. Marginal band, rather narrow 
and regular, with only slight indentations near abdominal margin. Mesial 
band, also narrow, widest in center, and terminating abruptly about two- 
tenths of an inch from abdominal margin. Apices, with an orange tint. 
Fringe, yellowish white. 
Under surface, yellowish white; inner half of secondaries, red; the bands, 
all narrow. 
Expanse of wings, 3.00 inch. 
Colorado, T. L. Mead. (Coll. Hy. Edw.) 
Catocala Irene. Behr. (Trans. Am. Ent. Soc., 1870.) 
Primaries, yellowish brown, paler along the margins. The lines are all in- 
distinct, and lost in the brown shading of the wings. T. a., almost obsolete.
