Hadena passer.
Mamestra passer Guen., Noct. I, 195.
Luceria loculata Morr., B. B. S. N. S., 2, 110.
I have received from M. Achille Gueneé an outline drawing of his Mamestra passer, and with the help of his description am enabled to make the above identification. The black marks tying the reniform to the t. p. line are variable, sometimes wanting; the color varies from pale reddish brown to dark brown ; the claviform is thick and usually solid, but sometimes open ; the lines are usually effaced, but sometimes quite noticeable ; the ornamentation is exceedingly simple. The eyes are naked, so that, with several other species referred by Gueneé to Mamestra, as I have previously shown, this form should be placed in Hadena.
