Barnes, cotypes with Mr. G. H. Field. We might also men- 
tion that two specimens of our recently described Cossid, 
flypopta palmata, were included, these being noticeably larger 
in size than our type specimens from Gila Co., Arizona. 
PYRAUSTINAE. 
Noctuelia puertalis sp. nov. 
Primaries pale ochreous, heavily shaded with brown, especially in basal 
and terminal areas, leaving the median space as a broad paler band 
across the wings; faint traces of a dark basal line; t. a. line dark, 
rather diffuse inwardly, bent outward slightly below costa then straight 
to inner margin; t. p. line from costa three-fourths from base, strongly 
bent inward below cubital vein, slightly dentate on the veins; at the end 
of cell a prominent black discal lunule, the lower edge of which closely 
approaches the incurve of the t. p. line; the whole space beyond t. p. 
line may be heavily shaded with smoky brown or else there may be a 
paler narrow terminal space, defining a subterminal line by contrast 
with the brown subterminal area; when present the s. t. line is sub- 
parallel to t. p. line, bidentate opposite cell, the two teeth touching the 
outer margin and forming a W mark: fringes pale, cut with darker 
median line; secondaries smoky brown; beneath pale smoky with traces 
of a darker terminal band. Expanse 15 mm. 
Habitat:—La Puerta Valley, Calif. (G. H. Field) (July 
Pith). Ags": 
Seems best referred to this genus owing to the rounded 
frontal prominence; it is a very slight species, rather like a 
miniature Schinia in appearance. 
SCHOENOBIINAE. 
Schoenobius pallulellus sp. nov. 
Palpi, head, thorax, and primaries very pale ochreous, slightly deeper 
in the male than in the female, immaculate; secondaries glossy white. 
Beneath as above, primaries of male faintly washed with smoky brown. 
Expanse ¢ 21 mm., 9 26 mm. 
Habitat :—Puerta Valley, Calif. (G. H. Field) (July 11th). 
Woe fee 
As is usual in this genus the apices of the primaries are 
more drawn out and pointed in the @ than in the ¢.
