NEW SPECIES OF NOCTUIDiE FOR 1908. I. 



WITH NOTES ON CHARADRA, RAPHIA 



AND PSEUDANARTA. 



By John B. Smith, Sc.D., 



New Brunswick, N. J. 



CHARADRA Wlk. 



There are now five species in our fauna which seem properly refer- 

 able to this genus, and these may be distinguished as follows : 



Secondaries white or whitish, more or less infuscated outwardly. 



Primaries with median lines connected by a more or less obvious line; t. a. line 

 with an outward dentation at its middle. 

 Orbicular conspicuously black centered. 



Primaries smooth, even dark gray, without strong contrasts; secondaries 



almost uniformly white ingenua. 



Primaries whitish, black powdered, contrastingly marked ; secondaries 

 a little stained, especially in female, and outwardly darker. 



deridens. 

 Orbicular not conspicuously black centered ; maculation not strongly con- 

 trasting, secondaries of £> dusky throughout sudena. 



Primaries with median lines not connected ; t. a. line upright, without an out- 

 ward dentation at middle dispulsa. 



Secondaries yellow at base, with a determinate outer black marginal band patens. 



Ingenua Sm., is the largest of these species and is from Colorado. 

 The smooth, even, glistening gray primaries distinguish it readily, 

 and the black markings are not conspicuously contrasting.
