Tarache CORA, B. & McD. 



1918, B. & McD., Cont. Nat. Hist. Lep. N. A, IV, #2, 115, pi. XVII, f. 19 

 "Type $", f. 20 Paratype ? (err.), Tarache. 



The "Type $ " undoubtedly represents a different species than 

 the "Type 9 " and the Paratype ? 's ; three male specimens, closely 

 matching the females, having been received from Paradise, Cochise 

 Co., Arizona. The "Type $ ", which is a unique, is therefore desig- 

 nated the lectotype for the name Tarache cora, B. & McD. ; and the 

 females, described in the "Contributions" as questionably the females 

 of this species, are a new species ; described below. 



True T. cora is placed in the Barnes Collection between expolita, 

 Grt., and lucasi, Sm, ; distinguished from both by its larger size and 

 different maculation, best visualized by a glance at the figure quoted 

 above. Attention is called to the light mark on the center of the inner 

 margin; and the white dash on vein 1, which half cuts thru the dark 

 s. t. band; features possessed by neither expolita nor lucasi; as well as 

 the widely disconnected dark patch on the fringe opposite the cell ; and 

 the lack of the large dark patch present in the anal angle of lucasi. 



Expanse: 25 mm. 



Type locality: Babaquivera Mts., Pima Co., Ariz. 



Number and sexes of types: Lectotype $ ("Type $"), unique. ("Type 

 9", Paradise, Cochise Co., Ariz., Sept.; 1 Paratype 9, same locality; and 3 

 Paratype 9's, Redington, Ariz.; removed to the following species.) 



Tarache bella, sp. nov. 



1918, B. & McD., Cont. Nat. Hist. Lep. N. A., IV, #2, 115, pi. XVII, f. 20, 

 cora partim, Tarache. 



Male. Palpi : first two joints white, the third joint tinged with fuscous. 

 Front and collar : white, Patagia : white at base, the tips purple-brown. 

 Thorax : largely purple-brown. Abdomen : pale creamy-brown. Primaries : 

 fovea vestigial, not visible ; ground color, white ; a basal bluish-gray spot pres- 

 ent; t. a. line originating as a purple-brown costal blotch, below which the color 

 changes to olivaceous, somewhat drawn toward a point in the cell, thence as 

 a crescent to the inner margin, near which the color again changes, to a some- 

 what bluish-gray, with an additional bluish-gray suffusion along vein 1 to near 

 the base of the wing; orbicular, a round blue-gray spot; reniform, similar, larger,
