P. daria Drc. (37 a). Forewing grey mixed with reddish-brown, with double transverse lines filled 
up with whitish-grey, the anterior line proximally bordered with white; no maculae except the centrally strangu¬ 
lated light ring of the reniform macula; the indistinct grey undulate line is proximally irrorated with brown. 
Hindwing light brown, on the veins and margin darker. A variable insect. In the form darioides Strd. (= ab. 
1. Hmps.) the reniform macula is more distinctly white, in dariella Strd. (= ab. 2. Hmps.) (37 a) there are small 
black spots before and behind the reniform macula. Arizona to Mexico. 
66. Genus: Hadenella Grt. 
Proboscis well developed; the frons exhibits a large horny projection with a raised edge, in the middle 
of which there is a central, anteriorly concave, conical appendage, and below the whole there is a horny plate. 
The metathorax of the scaled anterior body exhibits a loose tuft, and so does the first abdominal ring. All 
the rest is the same, except the subcostal branch being forked with the uppermost radial branch. But one 
species; 
H. pergentilis Grt. (37 a). Forewing whitish, strewn with brownish grey, with an ochre-yellowish 
tint except on the costal-marginal portion, the veins finely striped black, with indistinct finely crenulate trans¬ 
verse lines, the maculae in whitish rings and encircled with black, also the long coniform macula is present; the 
whitish undulate line is proximally bordered with red-brown and exhibits in front of it at the costal margin 
a dark spot. Hindwing light yellowish brown. Washington to Colorado. 
67. Genus: Fotclla Grt. 
Of a more slender structure than Hadenella. with broader wings; the frontal projection is simply rounded, 
and below it there is a horny plate. Veins of hindwing not forked. 
F. cylindrica Grt. (37 a). Forewing on the greyish-white ground densely irrorated with dark brown, 
with finely black-striped veins, rather indistinct double transverse lines, the posterior of which is finely dentate, 
the maculae in whitish rings are finely surrounded with black; the whitish undulate line is proximally bordered 
with red-brown. Hindwing light yellowish with a bent postmedian line. From Nevada. 
F. notalis Grt. (37 b) is larger than the preceding, dark brownish-black with an olive tint and a 
narrow lighter marginal band; no transverse lines whatever, only the whitish, centrally strangulated reniform 
macula is visible. Hindwing light brownish, at the margin darker greyish-brown. Arizona. 
F. olivia B. c£- McD. (37 a) has dark greyish-brown forewings coarsely strewn with ochre-yellowish; 
the transverse lines are only indicated by dark costal-marginal spots at their beginnings, only occasionally 
the posterior line is indicated in its course by a row of dots, and the maculae are small faded whitish spots; 
the narrow marginal area is of a contrasting lighter yellowish colour. Hindwing whitish, at the margin feebly 
smoked. California. 
F. fragosa Grt. (= cervoides B. & McD.) (37 b) is allied to olivia. smaller, more uniformly brown, 
with small maculae encircled by white, the reniform macula strangulated and above open, with a darker 
nebulous line behind it. indicating the approximate course of the posterior transverse line which is besides 
only marked at the costal margin by a black spot; the marginal area is not lighter, before the black marginal 
dots there are small whitish spots, the lowest of which is parted by a black streak. Hindwing smoky grey with 
whitish fringes. Arizona. 
68. Genus: Catabena Wkr. 
Proboscis well developed; the erect palpus exhibits a short porrect terminal joint; frons smooth without 
projection. The collar is raised in a somewhat keel-shaped or hooded way, the pro- and metathorax exhibit 
loose tufts, the abdomen one at the base; the thorax is besides only clad with scales. 
C. lineolata Wkr. (= petraea Wkr., miscellus Grt.) (37 b) has whitish forewings with black-striped 
veins and folds, the lower half of the cell and the distal half of the wing are striped reddish-brown; the transverse 
lines are only distinct at the costal margin, the course of the posterior line is indicated by vein-dots and distally 
bordered with white; of the maculae only the narrow long white ring-macula surrounded with black is present, 
of the undulate line only dentate white traces are visible. Hindwing diaphanous white with brown veins in 
the marginal area. Canada to California. — The larva is slender, green, watered with brown, with rather broad 
whitish longitudinal lines. It lives on Solidago. 
C. sagittata B. <£• McD. (37 b) is allied to lineolata. but darker grey, the reniform macula indicated 
by a light oval spot at the cell-end. below it there is somewhat darker shading with a whitish spot below it,
