group as Unijuga, Walk., Irene, Behr, Californica, Edw., and the species described below, but 
the grey of the upper and red of the lower wings is much darker than in any of its congenors. 
With much regret that I can say so little of this beautiful moth, I will proceed to 
CATOCALA FAUSTINA, NOY. SP. 
(PLATE III, FIG. 8 ) 
Male. Expands 2| inches. 
Body above grey, beneath white. 
Upper surface, primaries blueish grey, powdered with brown atoms, marginal spots, 
transverse lines and bands well defined, reniform distinct, and surrounded by an outer circle 
which is produced in two points on exterior; sub-reniform white ; above this and interior to 
the reniform is a white space ; fringe light grey. 
Secondaries scarlet, median band moderately wide, angulated at centre outwardly, and 
terminates somewhat abruptly about two lines from abdominal margin ; marginal band with a 
deep indentation between the first and second median nervules, apical spot and emarginations 
rosy ; fringe on exterior margin white, on interior margin grey. 
Under surface, primaries white ; secondaries, interior two-thirds rosy, towards costa this 
color becomes lost in white ; almost imperceptible indications of a discal lune. 
The single type from which the accompanying figure was drawn I received from Mr. W. 
IT. Edwards, who stated that it had been taken in Arizona by Lt. Wheeler’s Expedition in 
1871. It is a pretty, medium sized species, and, like most of those from the western side of 
the Rocky Mountains, resembles wonderfully some species of Europe.

( PLATE in, FIG. 9, $ ) 
Male. Expands 2§ inches. 
Upper surface, primaries pale grey, variegated with brown ; reniform small and pale^ 
space between this and sub-basal transverse line white, with a pink tinge caused by the red of 
under side being reflected through ; sub-reniform large and same color, transverse median line 
acutely dentate, a white sub-marginal spot formed of the space caused by the central inflection 
of this line. 
Secondaries bright scarlet, marginal band regular, widest towards outer angle, median
