NEW MOTHS, CHIEFLY FROM ARIZONA

Abstract

Hadena idonea, n. s.♂ ♀. This species is similar in size to verbascoides and cariosa; it is very like the latter only instead of reddish brown the color is of an ochrey brown, rather pale, the stigmata concolorous, rather wide, illdefined, separated by the dark median shade. The claviform spot is open, and stretches across the median field nearly touching the even t. p. line. Lines geminate, marked on costa. A slight, irregular basal streak and one below it on internal margin. Terminal field dark shaded, obtaining twice, opposite cell and at internal angle. Fringes dark cut with pale. Hind wings very dark, with paler fringes, concolorous, an indication of discal mark; beneath with faint double extra-mesial lines; the narrow terminal space paler on both wings. The costa of fore wings is more or less pale. Abdomen tufted. This species is more ochrey than vulgaris. Texas, Kansas, Wisconsin.
