niceirena. N. niveirena Harv. (= pohono Sm.) (39 i). Forewing grey, irrorated with brown and strewn with 
black, at the costal margin blackened, with strong black transverse lines and a narrow, white-ringed reniform 
macula; the whitish undulate line is proximally shaded with black. Hindwing ? grevish-brown. Canada to 
California (cf. footnote p. 183). 
alhhnacula. N. albiniacula B. db McD. (39 i) is closely allied to perolivalis; forewing brown with a slight olive 
tint, strewn with black, with dentate black transverse lines being bordered with whitish on the averted sides, 
easily recognized by the prominent white reniform macula with a dark central lunula; ring-macula small, with 
a yellowish centre, often quite obsolete. Hindwing yellowish with a broad greyish-brown marginal band. From 
Utah and California. 
te.rana. N. texana 8m. (39 i). Forewing yellowish-grey, irrorated with brown and strewn with black, in the 
postmedian area lighter, with single black transverse lines, and the maculae with yellowish rings and surrounded 
by an intense black colour, the reniform macula somewhat inwardly produced on the median, between both 
with a black middle line; the small yellowish-white subterminal spots are proximally accompanied by small 
rmiunrft. black sagittae. Hindwing white, on the veins and margin brownish. Texas. •— The form consors Sm. (39 k) 
ist the race from Arizona, separated even by slight genital differences, although the other marks stated, such 
as its smaller size and black filling of the cell, do not stand the test in large series. 
varinhilis. N. variabilis B. <£• McD. (39 k) is closely allied to the preceding and may only be a geographical race 
of them; ground-colour most variable, from yellowish-brown to deep purple brown, mostly red-brown with 
generally very indistinct markings, single black transverse lines, the maculae surrounded with a slightly darker 
colour, the reniform macula below generally filled up with black; the light undulate line is proximally shaded 
with purple blackish. Hindwing diaphanous with a broad smoky marginal band. California. 
rpipaschin. N. epipaschia Grt. (39 k). described as a Homohadena, belongs as a form to the following species. 
Forewing loamy-grey, irrorated with black, with single black transverse lines, the anterior line very strong, 
submedianly connected by a black longitudinal shadow; between the light brownish-grey, unmarked maculae 
the cell is blackened; the light undulate line is dentate with small dark spots behind it. Hindwing brownish- 
black. Expanse of wings: 30 mm. New Mexico. 
pracacuta. N. praeacuta Sm. (39 k). Forewing brownish-grey, strewn with black, with single strong black 
transverse lines, the maculae surrounded with black, the ring-macula oblique, above open and below pointed, 
the reniform macula with a brown centre, between both a brown middle shadow; a lighter undulate line is only 
■nir/ramacv- indicated. Hindwing greyish-brown. Colorado. — ,,subsp. nigraniacula B. & Benj. (ined.) (39 k) is similar 
dt. to the type, but the basal area intensely strewn with black. Holotype $ and 2 $$ paratypes, Shasta Retreat 
Siskiyou Co., Calif, in the Coll. Barnes. Responsible for the denomination and description, signed by Wm. 
orae. Barnes and F. H. Benjamin, Decatur, 111.“ — ,,subsp. orae B. & Benj. (ined.) (39 k), similar to the type, but 
separated by the thorax and forewing being profusely irrorated with reddish-brown. Holotype 8 and 1 8 
para type, Friday Harbour, San Juan Island Wash., in the Coll. Barnes; allotype $ Victoria, B. C. in the Coll. 
E. H. BL4CKMORE. Responsible for the denomination and description, signed by Wm. Barnes and F. H. 
Benjamin, Decatur, 111.“ 
leucorena. N. leucorersa Sm. (40 a) has greyish-white forewings irrorated with a light reddish brown, with in¬ 
distinct lighter transverse lines, the posterior line broken up into vein-dots with lighter ones behind them; 
the reniform macula is an indistinct white streak, proximally darker scaled, the undulate line proximally 
darker shaded. Hindwing yellowish-brown. California. Arizona. 
midrenn. N. andrena Sm. (40 a), described as Perigea , is very closely allied to leucorena, but it has serrate, 
long-ciliated antennae, whilst in leucorena they are plain with very short cilia. Forewing lustrous dark smoky- 
grey with the same markings; the irregular lighter undulate line has a yellowish tint; the small round ring- 
macula with a yellowish ring is more distinct. California. 
rcrellala. N. revellata B. <L• Benj. (40 a) is likewise very similar to the two preceding species, the undulate 
line is lighter and parallel to the distal margin; the yellowish-brown forewing appears grey owing to its being 
strewn with black, the markings are but slightly darker than the ground and often quite obsolete, the anterior 
transverse line more or less double, the ring-macula U-shaped, with a lighter ring, the reniform macula below 
on the median white-scaled. Expanse of wings: 32 to 37 mm. Arizona. The antennae are intermediary between 
the two preceding species. 
worse. N. morsa Sm. (40 a) is very much like a brownish-grey Perigea sutor, with punctiform transverse 
lines, the posterior line being double; the lighter maculae are unmarked, the reniform macula is strangulated; 
the light undulate line is proximally shaded with blackish. Hindwing whitish, at the margin brownish, in the 
^ quite brown. Expanse of wings: 25 to 28 mm. Texas. 
hey alio. N. begallo Barnes (40 a, b). Forewing on the reddish-brown ground thickly irrorated and strewn 
with blackish-brown, without anterior transverse line, of the posterior line only dentate traces are noticeable; 
the ring-macula is a small light, centrally black-dotted spot, the reniform macula particularly below strewn
