A NEW GENUS FOR CIRRHOPHANUS DUPLICATUS.

[Lepidoptera; Noctuidae.]

BY

HARRISON G. DYAR.

In his last volume, ^{SirG. F.}

Hampson

includes Cirrhopha- nus _duplicatns Smith with a

mark

of doubt, and _quotes characters that contradict the generic diagnosis.

No

_speci-

mens

of this species appear^to be

known

_{except the original}

female _type, which is before me. This ^isclearly not referable to Cirrhophanns, and ^a

new

_genus isrequired.

Phaioecia,

new

genus.

Forewing ^{with an}areole; fore tibiae and tarsi unarmed, ^{the tibiae} short and _stout; fronswitharounded prominence ^with slight trans- verse _{ridge at}itsmiddle, whereitistruncated, with acorneous_plate below; abdomenwith small dorsal crest atbase_only.

Type: Cirrhophanus duplicatesSmith.

The

_genus is allied to Chalccecia

Hampson

^(Cat. Lep.

Phal., ix, 182, 1910), but the front is

more

_prominent and distinctly truncated belowat the _ridge, while theabdominal tufting ^differs.

Sole _species, Phaicccia duplicatus Smith.

NOTE ON AN ARIZONA NOTODONTIAN.

[Lepidoptera; Notodontidse.]

Notela angustiora Barnes

and McDunnough.

Eunotela angustiora^B.

&

_McD., Can. Ent., XLII, 212, 1910.

This _species

was

described from a single female.

A

male and femaleare before me, through ^{the kindness of} Mr. Doll.

The

male has theantennae pectinated ^to the _tips, and shows that the_species is referable to the genus

A

⁷otchi rather than to I^nnotchi.

The

male is

marked

like the female, but the collarisentirelydark brown, ^{not ocherous as in} the female.
