Strigania, with which they do not appear even closely allied. Con- 

 sidering the eyes not lashed they would fall to "Monima" (Orthosia) 

 or to Hyssia, to which latter they are not unallied. The vestiture is 

 mainly of fine hair-like scales so that the authors feared these species 

 might have been described from Mexico in Eriopygodcs. However, 

 Mr. Schaus has kindly examined specimens of mcdiomaciila and 

 nongenerka and reported that there was nothing like them in the 

 National Museum. 



Type localities and number and sexes of types: Holotype S, High Rolls, 

 N. Mex., Sept.; Allotype 9, id., Sept.; 1 $ Paratype, id., Aug., (all from Mr. 

 J. G. Bonniwell) ; also 2 5 , 1 ?, Paratypes labeled "N. Mex., VII, Bon." 

 received from Mr. Jacob Doll for identification, probably "Bon." on the labels 

 standing for Bonniwell, the specimens therefore presumably coming from High 

 Rolls, N. Mex. 



Types in: Barnes; Paratypes, Brooklyn and National Museums. 



CUCULLIINAE 



COPICUCULLIA HEINRICHI sp. UOV. 



Head dull grey, white, and black mixed, thorax similar, central area 

 darkest, patagia paler; ground color of primaries dull grey powdered with 

 black and mixed with some whitish; basal line obsolete; t. a. line black, single, 

 not strong, outwardly produced to long points in cell and on vein 1 ; orbicular 

 obsolete; reniform obsolescent, only visible as a slight darkening of the dis- 

 cocellulars; t. p. line black, single, not strongly marked except below vein 2, 

 folloAved by a faint pale shade line excurved from costa to about vein 4, thence 

 inwardly oblique to submedian fold, produced to long points on the veins, out- 

 wardly produced to a point above inner margin, heavily shaded with black 

 between vein 2 and the submedian fold and connected to the t. a. line by a 

 few black scales presumably representing the claviform; s. t. line obsolete; 

 an anal black dash connecting vein 1 with the termen of vein 2; faint black 

 dashes on the outer margin between veins 2-3, 3-4; fringe grey, obscurely 

 interlined and marked with faint white spots at the ends of the veins. Sec- 

 ondaries white, only the veins and a faint terminal line with a few fuscous 

 scales, fringe white with an obsolescent interline composed of a few fuscous 

 scales. Beneath: primaries dull-grey, powdery; secondaries white with a slight 

 powdering of fuscous scales along costal margin on veins, and as a faint terminal 

 line; fringes as on upper side. 



Expanse: about 39 mm. 



Closely allied to incresa Smith, the male of which has similar 

 white secondaries, but lighter in color, with the transverse markings 

 more distinct and lacking the orbicular and reniform, with the anal
