JN^-2] GROTE ON LITHOPIIANE AND NEW NOCTl'ID.E. 2U5 



from modica by a warmer tinge, an inconspicuous and solid discal spot, 

 and even linear darker shadings. Uxjyaiise, 27 mil. 



Rah. — Wisconsin, Dr. P. E. Hoy. 



This species is remarkable for its resemblance to modica; but, on close 

 inspection, it is found to offer certain strong distinctional characters. 



Hadena fumosa n. s. 



(? 9. Allied to cnrvata. Darker, with uniformly fuscous black prima- 

 ries, the stigmata outlined in velvety black. This form wants the bright 

 spot of curvata outside the reniform on the t. p. line. The reniform is 

 further -from the t. p. line; the t. a. line straight er, less outwardl.v 

 rounded inferiorly. The lines are faintly accomx^anied by i)ale shades. 

 All tlu?ee stigmata concolorous, distinct. Hind wings pale fuscous; 

 exterior margin medially exserted, the superior indentation less deep 

 than in curvata. On the primaries, the t. p. line is more curved inferi- 

 orly than in curvata, not so rigid in its general contour. Beneath hoary, 

 without the bright tint of its ally, the extradiscal line on fore wings 

 notably angulated superiorly and further from the reduced discal spot 

 than in curvata. Expanse, 36 mil. 



Sal). — Colorado, Mr. Tweedle. 



I have received Hadena curvata Grote, Bull. B. S. K S. 2, 157, Sept. 

 1874, from Mr. Hy. Edwards, under the name of Bryobota jpavke Behr., 

 probably an uni)ublished name. 



Hadena (Pseudanarta) flavidens u. s. 



$ . Allied to flava, but larger. Fore wings blackish fuscous, with the 

 median lines approximate, pale, narrow, even. T. p. line inwardly 

 curved below the large pale rounded reniform to internal margin. T. 

 a. line outwardly curved. S. t. line an irregular pale shade. The mark- 

 ings of primaries not prominent. Hind wings bright yellow, with a black 

 band. Beneath as above, but paler. On i^rimaries, the yellow color is 

 nearly whitish and the costa and terminal space fuscous. Expanse, 20 

 mil. 



Hah.— Qolomdo, Mr. Mead and Mr. Hy. Edwards (4393). 



This species differs from fiava by the t. p. line being nearer the reni- 

 form and not outwardly angulate over median uervules. The t. a. line 

 is more outwardly arcuate inferiorly and the lines more even, while the 

 color is fuscous, without brown or white shadings. 



Hadena (Pseudanarta) aurea u. s. 



S . Smaller than H. flava. Fore wings dark blackish brown, darker 

 from the arcuate single t. a. line over the anterior half of the median 

 space. Eeniform pale, whitish, spherical, standing out, the only promi- 

 nent feature of the dark primaries, repeated beneath; fringes concolor- 

 ous. The wing is palest about the reniform and over subterminal space. 

 Hind wings orange-yellow, with broad even black costal terminal bor- 

 der; beneath as above. Body parts blackish. This species is remark-
