Homohadena stabilis n. sp. PI. xv, fig. 15.— Ground color obscure red- 

 brown, with a smoky suffusion. Collar tipped with pale gray; otherwise 

 the head and thorax immaculate. On the primaries the median lines are 

 present, narrow, a little darker brown, not distinct in any specimen seen 

 and sometimes almost obsolete. T. a. line slightly outcurved in one 

 specimen, a little angulated inwardly at the center. T. p. line rather 

 broadly outcurved over the cell, and only a little incurved below that 

 point. It is a little relieved in some specimens by a faintly paler shade, 

 S. t. line wanting. There is no distinct terminal line; though there is a 

 slight darkening at the base of the fringes. Secondaries dull, smoky 

 brown, without markmgs of any kind, but the fringes are paler. Under- 

 side uniform, dull, smoky brown, a little paler toward the base. The 

 ordinary spots on the upperside are vaguely traceable in some specimens, 

 but usually wanting. Expands 27-32 mm.; i. 08-1. 28 inches. 



Hab. — Calgary, in July. 



Mr. Dod sent me five specimens representing both sexes, all 

 in good condition except the one ft-om which the figure was made. 

 This was used, because it was mounted on a low pin like the other 

 specimens photographed, and will serve only to give the general 

 outline. It seems not uncommon, and besides the specimens 

 sent me, I have seen a number of others sent to the late Mr. 

 Neumoegen. The insect belongs with figurata in the synopsis, 

 but differs from it by not having the median lines connected and 

 being much more obscure in color. There should be no difficulty 

 in lecognizing this simply marked form. 



Deva trabea n. sp. PI. xy, fig. 16. — Ground color a pale whitish gray, 

 overlaid by ocherous, golden and silver scales. HeAd and thorax pale, 

 but the scales and hair are black and brown tipped, forming on the pa- 

 tagiae margining lines. Tuftings prominent, the vestiture entirely loose 

 and divergent. The wings are mottled, difficult to describe, but all the 

 ordinary markings are present. Basal space more or less silvery, crossed 

 by a yellow-brown basal line, that is smgle and outwardly limited by the 

 geminate t. a. line. This line is silvery, margined on each side with yel- 

 low-brown, and as a whole rather evenly outcurved. T. p. line geminate, 

 the defining brown lines distinct, the included space silver gilt. As a 

 whole the course of the line is parallel with the outer margin, but it is 

 irregular and more or less incurved between the veins, or angulated. 

 There is a distinct, brown, median shade line, extending almost through 

 the center of the wing, and parallel with the outer margin. S. t. line 

 marked by the difference in shade between the s. t. and the terminal 

 spaces. Terminal space very gray, and this invades the s. t. space in the 

 costal region, where the line is marked only by a small costal spot. Op- 

 posite the cell there are two brown dashes, below which the s. t. space is 

 darker than the terminal space, though paler than the center of the wing.
