scales; completely surrounded by ground color, with broadish 
yellowish brown diffusion of aureoles within. Subterminal line 
thin and only slightly curved in Cu 2 with very slight or diffused 
bar (invisible in most females) not interrupting the line which 
is thus perceptibly continued up as a slight inner margin of 
patch (very clear and straight in some females). 
Female, lectotype, exp. 21.3, and male, paratype, exp. 20.4, 
labelled in Edwards’ hand, “Henshawi M., Ariz a ,” Carn. Mus. 
Paratypes: male with same label, Carn. Mus.; two males, no 
locality, ex Holl. Coll., Carn. Mus. 
None of the following specimens examined belong to the 
type race, and the females fit in especially well with Maynard’s 
description and figured outline: one male, exp. 20.5, “Ari- 
zona”, ex Coll. C. F. dos Passos; Am. Mus. Nat. Hist.; three 
females (one exp. 22.9) “So Ariz., O. C. Polling, ex Coll. A. G. 
Weeks,” Mus. Comp. ZooL; one female “Chiricahua Mts., 
D. K. Dunkan, 24.VI.33”, ex Coll. C. F. dos Passos, Am. Mus. 
Nat. Hist.; one female, “Cochise Co., ex Coll. W. C. Wood,” 
Am. Mus. Nat. Hist. 
Two males from Pima Co., “Mud Springs, Santa Catalina, 
6.500 f. 17-20.VII.16”, Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., and a female, 
“Cochise Co., C. J. Paine”, Mus. Comp. ZooL, offer some curi- 
ous “pyracmonoid” characters. One of these males (exp. 18.7) 
has a slight rusty broadening of the second discal line in sec- 
ondaries underside, which thus seems to run closer to the 
cinereous patch than in typical henshawi. The other male and 
the female show a definite rusty diffusion of this line near 
costa and another projection where it tends to unite with a 
rusty (though less red than in pyracmon) blot above the 
silver W. 
Two males with Edwards’ labels in pencil u Henshawi M. 
Ariz a ” ex Coll. Holland, Carn. Mus., obviously represent a 
definite race. There is more dull fulvous red spread over the 
primaries, so that these might be described as of that color, 
with dark fuscous sexmark traversed by fulvous veins, and 
rather pale fuscous shadings terminally and subcostally; sec- 
ond discal line in secondaries broadly margined discally with 
warm reddish fulvous; aureoles of the same tint. Underside 
curiously resembling hilar ia (especially in one of the two 
specimens) owing to the transverse spaces between the lines 
being alternately darker and lighter, and rather brightly yel-
