164 Psyche [Sept.-Dee. 
with a prominent dark brown spot at base. In hind wings the 
venation is mostly pale, the outer gradates dark. 
Pronotum hardly as long as broad behind, narrowed toward 
front, depressed along middle. Fore wings rather broad and 
blunt toward tip; ten or eleven radial cross-veins, four to six 
inner and five to seven outer gradates, nearly parallel; the inner 
gradates usually arising beyond the penultimate cubital cross- 
vein; the branches of radial sector not much bent by the inner 
gradates; the costal area almost as broad as the postcubital, 
the radial area broader than either; in hind wings seven cu- 
bital cross-veins, about eight radials, gradates with usually 
four in each row, parallel, but rather widely separated. 
Length of fore wing 10 to 11.5 mm., width 4 to 4.5 mm.

April (Fairchild coll.). Type M.C.Z. no. 25656. N. ceratica , 
indiga , and championi have dark dots on under side of antennae 
toward base, but are otherwise somewhat related. 
Nodita orthones sp. nov. 
Face with a black spot under each antenna, and another in 
middle below them, maxillary palpi mostly dark, the depression 
of vertex dark each side; antennae pale, basal joint rather slen- 
der, with a reddish streak on outer part above, not a definite 
stripe, rest of antennae wholly pale; pronotum with a reddish 
stripe each side, rather broad in front, middle of pronotum de- 
pressed and dark (probably discolored) meso- and metanotum 
mostly dark, extending out on base of wings; abdomen without 
definite dark spots; legs pale. 
Fore wings with the radial sector dark for quite a long dis- 
tance; gradates black, outer ones and base of radial sector bor- 
dered; nearly all other cross-veins and marginal forks wholly 
dark brown, a few of radials not wholly dark, the intermediates 
and branches of radial sector to the inner gradates dark, be- 
tween the gradates series the branches are mostly pale ; stigma 
with a rather pale brown spot at base. In hind wings some of 
the costals, the gradates, the marginal forks, and the last few 
radials are dark, the radial sector is plainly dark for a short 
distance; the tip of wing and the base of stigma are brown. 
The pronotum is nearly as long as broad behind, the median 
depression prominent, no transverse groove. 
The fore wing has the costal area rather narrow, not as broad
