edges. Abdomen light fuscous, the segments blackish dorsally, especially 

 anally, the extreme end yellowish. Bahama Is. West Indies. 



This species, while not North American, is described, as I have given 

 it to Mr. Ragonot under this MS. name. The generic reference is by 

 Mr. Ragonot. 



Paralipsa deco7-eiia, n. sp. — Expands 27-30 mm. Palpi and head 

 whitish, collar whitish, thorax light gray, abdomen fuscous gray, antennje 

 whitish at base becoming fuscous outwardly ; forewings gray costally, 

 gray washed with fuscous posteriorly ; lines quite indistinct, the basal 

 near middle of wing and strongly dentated, the outer scarcely evident ; a 

 black stripe from base at middle reaching out to basal line and much 

 broadening there, forming a diffuse blackish spot along costa towards 

 apex, and the marginal space much stained with dark fuscous ; a black 

 marginal line, fringes fuscous. In some specimens there is on the basal 

 and middle fields a faint reddish shading, especially posteriorly. Hind- 

 wings light fuscous, beneath nearly even fuscous on all wings. Along 

 costa in ^ there is concealed a very large tuft of cottony hair, the hair 

 being nearly a quarter of an inch in length, very fine and very dense. 



My specimens are from Buffalo, N.Y., and London, Ontario. 



Loxostege baccatalis, n. sp. — Expands 22-24 "^^i^- Palpi rather short, 

 dark buff in colour stained with blackish beneath on first and second 

 segments with rather long pure white scales. Front and antennas buff, 

 slightly stained with blackish ; the clypeal tubercle broad, conical, not 

 much extended. Thorax whitish below in front, dull golden yellow 

 above, sometimes slightly shaded with fuscous. Forewings dull golden 

 yellow generally, somewhat washed with fuscous, a little more decidedly 

 on the central field ; lines as such indeterminate. On each wing are three 

 sets of dull white spots, all edged with blackish, the outer and 

 inner sides being the heavier, and these in part at least being 

 the broken remnants of the cross lines. All the spots are behind 

 the subcostal space, and in each case the anterior spot begins on 

 that space. The first set is basal, the anterior spot being oval-triangular 

 on outside of basal line, and the posterior larger, quadrate, on the inside 

 of the basal line, not extending beyond the middle of wing. The second 

 set is discal, the anterior quadrate oval, representing the discal spot, the 

 posterior larger, quadrate reaching to vein i. The third set is on the 

 outer line, the anterior largest of all the spots, quadrate, on inner side of 

 the line. The next is below on outside of line, made into two or three
