TWO NEW NORTH AMERICAN SPECIES OF EUSTROTIA.

[Lepidoptera; Noetuidse.]

BY HARRISON

G. DYAR.

According

^{to Sir G. F.}

Hampson's

^admirable

Volume X

^of

the

"Catalogue Lepidoptera

Phalsenae," our

genus Tripudia

is

composed

^of

two

dissimilar groups,

which

he _separates.

The

species ^allied to quadrifera ^Zeller

remain

in

Tripudia

Grote, which,

however, becomes

a

synonym

^{of Cobitbatha}

Walker. The

_species allied to basicinerea

Grote

^{fall into} the old

genus

Eustrotia Hiibner.

Of

thisparticular

group Hamp-

son recognizes three species, ^all

from

the southwest.

Two

others before

me

_appeardistinct.

Eustrotia antonita,

new

species.

Basal part of forewing ^clear gray ^with narrow blackish markings on _{the costa;} medial band black, narrow, excavated ⁱⁿ the cell apd again below, the latter cuttingthrough the black but not through ^the dull yellow outerborder; spacebeyond ^thisband reddish brown with a faint lighter annulus at reniform; three narrow blackishmarks on costa; subterminal lineirregular, whitish, waved, ^bent inward below

cell, withabrowninner border; ablack terminal _line, broken below apex ^{and near} middle; fringe blackish. Hind wing fuscous brown, darker on the veins.

Type: No.

^{13676, U. S. National}

Allied to

E.

orthozona

Hampson,

^but

^with

^{the outer} part of the

wing

of a different _color, the black

baud narrower and broken

below.

Eustrotia_santarita,

new

species.

Basal part of forewing^cleargraywith black streaks onthe costa;

medianblackband rather_broad, broadening below, straight, slightly bent on its narrower upper half, edged with bright silvery; outer space ocherous, with more or less reddish suffusion, especially over mesial _area; reniform a broad diffused palerringlet; subterminal line gray, twice excurved and arising from a dark wedged-shaped

mark

on_costa; aterminal dark line twice interrupted by pale, the fringe dark except the pale spaces ^of terminal line. Hind wing ^brownish fuscous, the veins darker.

allied to E. orthozona, but the mesial

is

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;

abdomen

with small dorsal crest atbase_only.

Type: Cirrhophanus

duplicates

Smith.

The _genus

is allied to Chalccecia

Hampson

^(Cat.

Lep.

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

more _prominent and

distinctly truncated

below

at the _ridge, while the

abdominal

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 collarisentirely

dark brown,

^{not ocherous as in} the female.
