3. S. Moi'risoni Grote. 



4. S. devia Grote. 



5. S. Grsefiana Grote. 



The latter species one might be tempted to refer to Glxa or 

 Xanlhia^ but the elongate dentate primaries would determine its 

 generic position. 



Calocampa cineritia, n. s. 



Distinguishable from G. curvimaciila, Morr., and 0. nupera, 

 Lintn., by the absence of any basal dashes on the primaries. 

 Fore wings bathed in aslien from tlie base to the blackisli fringes, 

 allowing an ochreous shade to extend outwardly beyond the reni- 

 form over the subterminal line, the latter here more distinctly 

 marked by uneven cuneiform dashes. The black ringed ordinary 

 spots are so close as to nearly coalesce ; they arc wider apart in 

 C. ciirvimacula. Tlie costal region is shaded with deep brown; 

 the extreme base of the wing is wliitish; the t. a. line is visible, 

 strongl}' dentate, geminate; the costal edge is black; tlie thorax 

 is black, as in the European species, not brown as in Curvimacula; 

 the sides at the base of the piimaries are white; the collar is pale 

 brown, finely lined ; the front and palpi blackisli; hind wings con- 

 colorous, ruddy fuscous ; beneath ruddy fuscous with dentate 

 median line and discal j)oint on hind wings. 



ExqoanHe 50 mm. Habitat. Ncwtonville, Mass. (Mr. R. Thaxter, 

 No. 44. May 19th). 



This species resembles C. vetusta perhaps more than C. nupera 

 does, and might stand for its American "representative." I have, 

 following Mr. Morrison's remarks, been disposed to consider C. 

 nupera as the American "representative" of the European G. ve- 

 tusta (Bull. Buff. S. N. S., 2, p. 195). G. nupera appears to me 

 to resemble the European G. exoleta^ rather than G. carvimacida, 

 in opposition to Mr. Morrison's opinion on the subject. There 

 are no l)rown shades on the internal portion of the wing in G. cine- 

 ritia, nor is tlie terminal space ochraceous, except opposite the 

 disl<, and as the continuation of the same shade opposite the 

 reniform. There are no superposed dots representing the orbicu- 

 lar as in G. vetia^ta, from which G. cineritia seems to l)e easily 

 distinguishable by the configuration of the ordinary spots. The
