has a strong admixture of gray scales. Primaries with tin- median space 

 darker than the rest of the wing in which gray is the ground upon which 

 the black markings are laid, liasal line darkening the base of the wing. 

 T. a. line broken, with an apparent inward angulation. T. p. line single, 

 denticulate on the veins. S. t. line line marked only by a variably con- 

 tinuous dusky shade in the s. t. space. A series of black lunate terminal 

 spots. Ordinary spots gray, defined by the black filling of the cell. 

 Secondaries blackish smoky. Expands 3132 mm.; 1.241.28 inches.

Belongs to the typical section of the genus, but is different from 



all in the blotchy appearance of the margings. A peculiar glis- 

 tening reflection of the secondaries caused them to photograph 

 nearly white, and in this the figure given is incorrect. 



Agrotiphila incognita n. sp. PI. vi, fig. 9. Smoky fuscous, part of the 

 basal space and all beyond 1. p. line of primaries paler, with a yellowish 

 shade. Median lines geminate, very even, t. a. line with a slight inward 

 angulation. S. t. Itne very even, pale and distinct. A blackish terminal 

 line. Secondaries yellowish, margins blackish powdered. Expands 26 

 30 mm.; 1.04 1.20 inches. 



Hab. Laggan, British Col., above timber. Bean, Nos. 462, 

 492. 



This is an ally of" A. rigida, with which it agrees in structural 

 characters. It differs obviously by the entirely different median 

 lines and by the yellowish secondaries. 



Scotogramma uniformis n. sp. PI. vi, fig. 12. General color a dull 

 grayish luteous with an even and rather dense powdering of black hairs 

 and scales. Head and thorax immaculate; primaries with vague traces 

 of the ordinary markings in the form of dusky clouds. Secondaries 

 smoky, with a yellowish tinge in the disc, fringes pale yellowish. Ex- 

 pands 33 mm.; 1.32 inches. 



Hab. Laggan, British Col., July 3ist, far above timber (7000 

 feet). Bean, No. 465. 



Belongs to the section of the genus with hairy vestiture and 

 obviously distinct from all by the lack of any distinct ornamen- 

 tation. 



Scotogramma luteola n. sp. PI. vi, fig. 10. Ash-gray to fuscous or lu- 

 teous gray, black powdered. The median lines are blackish, distinct, 

 single, even or denticulate on the veins. S. t. line marked by a dusky 

 preceding shade, divided into three clouds. A vague median shade 

 darkens the inferior portion of the median spare. The ordinary spots are 

 wanting, or so vague as to be undescribable. Secondaries smoky with 

 pale, yellowish fringes. Expands 28 30 mm.; 1.161.22 inches.
