7. Genus: ClsitephiocSes Hmps. 
It is discernible from the preceding by longer palpi being in front scaled, not hairy, particularly the 
last joint being very long. The frons exhibits a slightly rounded convexity with a horny plate below it; the 
thorax is neither hairy, but only scaled. Only one species: 
C. zuelana Sells. (= trinidadensis Kaye) (14 b). Forewing dark brown, behind the centre dusted 
with whitish, in some places strewn with a bluish white below the costal margin and between the lower radial 
branches; transverse lines black, irregidarly dentate; the small maculae are surrounded with black. Undulate 
line white, proximally marked black. Hindwing diaphanous white, at the distal and costal margins broad, 
at the proximal margin narrow blackish-brown. Venezuela and Trinidad, 
8. Genus: Aiiarta 0. 
Chiefly characterized by the small, reniform, not ciliated eyes; the frons as in the preceding genus. 
Body for the greatest part covered with hair intermixed with hair-like scales; abdomen very coarsely haired 
and with a hair-tuft on the dorsum of the first ring. Predominantly smaller Noctuids flying in clay-time, from 
arctic regions, also one antarctic representative. —- Formerly this genus and the closely allied genera were ranged 
as Heliothinae among the Noctnids at a quite different place. Comp. Vol. Ill, p. 252. 
A. triserna Mab. (14 b). Forewing greyish-white, strewn with black, with a black, red-dusted discal 
area, in it the coniform macula marked by a white longitudinal stripe, the two upper maculae are likewise 
whitish, small; behind the postmedian line a row of short red and black streaks, similar ones in the upper mar¬ 
ginal half behind the undulate line. Fringes black speckled with white. Hindwing grey, at the proximal and 
distal margins dusted with black. Fuegia. 
A. dolosa B. & Benj. is very similar to the following staudingeri (Vol. Ill, t. 50 b), but it has like 
triserna strongly serrate antennae provided with ciliary tufts. Forewing dull slaty-grey, tinted brownish, and 
strewn with white. Transverse lines single, black, the anterior line faded, proximally bordered with grey, the 
posterior line dentate, distally bordered with a lighter colour; maculae small, lighter, feebly encircled with 
black; the undulate line is a dark shade bending proximad on the middle radial and touching the postmedian 
line; fringes dark slaty grey, mixed with white, but not speckled. Hindwing light, on the veins brownish with 
a broad black marginal band, a crescentiform discal spot and purely white fringes. Expanse of wings: 26 to 
28 mm. Colorado. 
A. staudingeri Auriv. has been dealt with in the palearctic part (Vol. Ill, p. 252) and figured there 
on t. 50 b; it is not certain whether the nomenclatural form occurs in America, but as it may be of a circum¬ 
polar range, it is also mentioned as American in recent American catalogues, for which reason we at least quote 
it. The specimens from Colorado found in collections by this name, belong to the following: 
A. moschleri Stgr. with brownish-black forewings, intermixed with white scales, black single transverse 
lines, the posterior line dentate and distally bordered with white; the small maculae are white, bordered with 
black, the reniform macula indistinct, with a darker pupil, before and behind it small whitish crescents; un¬ 
dulate line light, proximally accompanied by small black lunae. Hindwing white, more or less brownish with 
a blackish-brown marginal band and discal spot, the latter being connected with the base by a blackish-brown 
ray. Expanse of wings: 26 to 28 mm. —- staudingeri is larger and has more olive-yellow and brown tints and 
a quite different genital organ. Colorado. 
A. subfumosa Gibs. (20 k) is most similar to staudingeri. Forewing dull smoky brown, dusted with 
grey, occasionally strewn with golden yellow scales; all the markings indistinctly whitish, the maculae very 
small, the most distinct being the posterior transverse line. The white hindwing shows a rather broad dark 
brown marginal band. North Western Canada. 
A. magna B. db Benj. is closely allied to the following richardsoni , but of a quite different habitus, 
larger, without traces of orange or ochreous scaling, the total impression of the forewing being a faded, little 
contrasting marking. The hindwing beneath exhibits a strong black connecting streak from the discal spot 
to the base, which is only occasionally traceable in richardsoni. Expanse of wings: 38 mm. Colorado (,,Bullion 
Peak“). 
A. richardsoni Curt. (= septentrionis Wkr.) (vol. Ill, t. 50 b) is likewise widely distributed in the 
palearctic region and described in Vol. Ill, p. 252, and figured there. Much larger than staudingeri, similarly 
marked, but more mixed with yellow, with strong black sagittae before the undulate line. Widely distributed 
in Greenland, Alaska, Canada. — lanuginosa 8m. The anterior transverse line in this form extends in a slightly
