23. Agrotis fornax, sp.n. (Tab. XCIV. fig. 7.) 
Primaries fawn-colour, crossed about the middle from the costal to the inner margin by a dark brown band, 
which is widened towards the costal margin, and with a waved brown line on the outer margin 
extending from the costal margin near the apex to the anal angle, the wing also crossed near the base 
by several faint narrow brown lines, a round spot in the middle of the cell and a large oval spot at the 
end of the cell reddish-brown, the fringe brown; secondaries uniformly dark brown: head, antenne, 
thorax, and legs brown (abdomen wanting). Expanse 2 inches. 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (MZ. Trujillo). 
One worn specimen. 
NOCTUA (to follow the genus Agrotis, I. p. 286). 
Noctua (Linnzus), Treitschke, Schmett. Europ. v. 1, p. 206 (1825) (part.). 
The Mexican insects referred by Mr. Schaus to this and the following two genera 
have not been seen by me. 
1. Noctua totonaca. 
Noctua totonaca, Schaus, Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. xxi. p. 226 (1894) °. 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (coll. Schaus '). 
CARNEADES * (to follow the genus Noctua). 
Carneades, Grote, Canad. Ent. xv. p. 4 (1883) ; Papilio, i. p. 30. 
1. Carneades mizteca. 
Carneades mizteca, Schaus, Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. xxi. p. 226 (1894) °. 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (coll. Schaus +). 
This species is stated to be very closely allied to Agrotis stentzt, Led. 
ACANTHODICA (to precede the genus Tiracola, I. p. 286). 
Acanthodica, Schaus, Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. xxi. p. 241 (1894). 
Mr. Schaus includes under this genus two new species, A. grandis, from Mexico, and 
A. aylinoides, from Ecuador, and he states that Agrotis splendens, Druce, and Xylina 
drucei, Dognin, also belong to it. 
1. Acanthodica grandis. 
Acanthodica grandis, Schaus, Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. xxi. p. 241 (1894) °. 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (coll. Schaus’). 
* The name Carneades has long been preoccupied in Coleoptera (Bates, 1869).
