The present species might well be placed in the genus Harding'ia 

 Schaus as vein 7 is short stalked with 8 and 9 from the apex of the 

 accessory cell. Considering the facts, that no species of Hardingia 

 are reported from Boreal America, the variability of the accessory 

 cell in the North American species of Heterocampa°, and the apparent 

 close relationship of the present species to various described species 

 of North American Heterocampa; the authors consider it best to 

 describe as an aberrant Heterocampa. 



Besides the types this "species is represented in the Barnes Col- 

 lection by two males from High Rolls, N. Mex., July, (Bonniwell).

A single specimen labeled "S. W. Arizona" from the Doll Collec- 

 tion is in the Barnes Collection, and has been compared with the type 

 by Mr. Schaus. It is possible that the locality label is erroneous, and 

 the authors do not wish to officially record the insect from Arizona. 



It is also not impossible that this represents the female of the true 

 belfragei Grote, a species unknown to the authors except for a colored 

 figure of the type male. Further information will be welcome.

H. averna, described from Redington, Ariz., was, for a consider- 

 able time, represented by the unique female type in the Barnes Col- 

 lection. 



CI^ H. manteo the accessory cell is long and narrow; in ruHnans vein 7 appears very 

 shortly stalked with 8 and 9 rather than connate.
