also speaks of "a few white scales beyond the discal spot" on upper surface, and "on 

 hind wings there is a round white patch beyond the discal dot. and another between 

 it and the costa." In the present examples are no traces of anything like these, the 

 secondaries being destitute of all marks and entirely black on both surfaces; but 

 these points are not all specific, as I have examples of maia in which the pale band 

 varies from the normal form, and others where it is entirely wanting on the primaries. 

 In some this band covers the greater part of the wing ; in others it is reduced to a mere 

 line, or else wanting entirely. But the shape and the color will easily separate Juno 

 from maia. InJtoio the color is dense, heavy, and opaque; in maia it is filmy, crape- 

 like, semi-transparent, and maia is a much heavier built insect. Throughout, Juno ia 

 ■closely allied to Hemileuca Groin (Grote & Robinson, in vol. ii, Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. 

 p. 192, t. 2, f. 60, 1868), and if I may judge by the figure, which is apparently a fair 

 one, I would believe that Juno and Grotei are varieties of one species, the main differ- 

 ences being that the primaries are less elongated in Grotei, but this might be sexual, 

 as the figure is of a female, and I have only males of Juno for comparison, and in the 

 presence of a narrow white band on secondaries ; traces of this latter are, however, 

 visible, as I have mentioned in Packard's types, and its size or even presence is not 

 essentially specific. The pale cross-bands on the abdomen of Grote's figure, I presume, 

 are only the hyaline space formed by the stretching of the sutures between the' seg- 

 ments, as the abdomen is enormously elongated.

One male, July 14, at Rio Blanco, near its headwaters ; one male. July 28, at Wee- 

 minuche Creek, near Eio Piedro : August 1. one male and one female, in valley of 

 Upper San Juan River. These are all of the Colorado form, figured in my work on 

 Lepidoptera, t. 15. f. 11, with pale, creamy-tinted upper wings and rich yellow hind 

 wings. These differ from the Utah form, which has the ground-color of all wings 

 white, and.from the Arizona form P. Nuttalli, in which the black bands of wings are 

 much less diffuse, and in which the black bands of abdomen are either partly or wholly 

 obsolete. Wherever this species or its varieties occur it is found in great abundance, 

 flying by daylight. The California form P. EglanteHna feeds in the larval state on 

 will] rose or brier.

September 11, several examples at the Rio Florida near upper road. This is a wide- 

 spread species, near Tessellata Hair. : it is found from Maine to Colorado. 



Genus HADEXA Tr.

Several of this common and widespread species were taken at Weeminuche Creek 

 near to Rio Piedro. also at Pagosa Springs and elsewhere; they are in no wise differ- 

 ent from those found elsewhere in the United States. 



Hadena Morna, n. sp. 



Male expands If inches. Head and thorax cinnamon-colored; abdomen of same 

 ■color, but paler. 



Upper surface primaries same color as head and thorax, darkest from discal spot 

 inward: markings all more or less indistinct : transverse anterior line deeper reddish 

 and double; transverse posterior line apparently single, reniform, indistinct, its lower 

 part on the median nervule filled with a gray or lead-colored spot, which is the only 

 mark of any prominence ; exterior margin of wing bordered with a dark shade ; 

 fringe same color as the last; secondaries reddish white with broad smoky border ex- 

 teriorly; fringe pale. 



Under surface primaries shining cinnamon-color, paler than above; secondaries 

 ,same color as above, but devoid of dark border. 



One male at Rio Blanco near its headwaters.
