prominent. Two have no trace of green whatever and on two others 

 it is reduced to mere indications. The ordinary markings, perhaps as 

 the result of the more even color, seem to be more even and better 

 defined ; this is especially true of the median shade line. The s. t. 

 line is more even, better defined, and in all cases there is an obvious 

 terminal space not invaded to the margin by extensions from the s. t. 

 space. A blackish bar extends from anal angle through submedian 

 interspace almost or quite to the t. p. line. This is more or less in- 

 dicated in some examples of the type form in a diffused shading which 

 does not extend within the s. t. line. Finally there is a distinct bar 

 from the end of the claviform to the t. p. line which is also diffusedly 

 indicated in the type. 



I do not think we have to do with a good species here ; but it is 

 a well-marked geographical race which deserves a name that it may 

 receive further attention from collectors. As such I propose the term 

 Hadeua miscelhis. Two examples only have definite localities ; Waco, 

 Texas, September i ; FSlanco County, Texas, no date ; two others are 

 from Belfrage, May 4 and April 20. The others are marked Texas 

 only, without other indication. 



A good series, including males would be very desirable. 



Hadena macerata, sp. nov. 



Resembles w/.f.'-A'/r/i'.v in wing form, type of maciilation and general coloration. 

 Head mottled with green, yellow and blackish scales. Collar deep brown at base, 

 mossy yellowish green above, a blackish line through the center of this shade- 

 Thoracic disc mottled with greenish-yellowish, white and black, posterior tuft yellow 

 tipped. Abdomen smoky gray, tufts prominent and more ashen gray. Primaries 

 irregularly mottled with mossy yellow and greenish scales, the former predominating; 

 all the ordinary markings broken and obscured except for the very large, white reni- 

 'orm. The basal line extends across the wing, is geminate, broken, best marked on 

 the submedian vein where a black tooth is sent in to the base from the inner i:)art of 

 the line. T. a. line so badly broken as to Ije obscure, but as a whole it is a little out- 

 curved. T. p. line geminate, ouier line broken, obscure, gray ; inner line black, less 

 broken ; somewliat .squarely exserted over the cell thence rather evenly oblique to the 

 inner margin. The space between the median lines is the darkest part of the wing, 

 becoming blackish below the cell and between the ordinary spots, while costal region 

 and internal margins are mottled. On the costal region a black median shade is 

 clearly marked, e.xtending obliquely between the ordinary spots, angled below the 

 reniform, thence direct to inner margin where it again becomes obvious. Claviform 

 small, ]iointed, black, a black shade extending from it through submedian interspace, 

 to t. p. line. Orl:)icular oval, obliiiue, annulate with white, mossy filled, variable in 

 size. Reniform large, subtjuadrate, the angles rounded, contrasting white. S. t. 

 space with grayish rays extending from t. p. line toward outer margin ; in part met by
