Olene pinicola, new variety. 



This form is similar \.o pini, but all the specimens are larger 

 and darker. The brown shadings are weak or suppressed, 

 being replaced by blackish. The hind wings show this ten- 

 dency, being distinctly of a less brownish tint than \npini. The 

 white markings are broader and more suffused, being at the 

 same time more restricted, the median space showing white 

 only about the reniform. 



Eight males, fifteen females, Douglas County, Wisconsin 

 (Hopkins, U. S. No. 8389; Gipsy Moth Laboratory Nos. 

 4657 and 4660) . 



Type: No. 13467, U. S. National Museum. 



Olene grisefacta, new species. 



Light gray, coarsely dusted with black on a nearly white ground, 

 that is irregularly shaded with luteous; lines broad, black, the inner 

 coarsely waved, the outer crenulate; discal mark broad, black-outlined, 

 reniform, broken above; subterminal line lost in the general diffusion 

 of the markings or indicated by black inner markings; white spot 

 above tornus distinct but not contrasted, resembling the white about 

 the discal mark; terminal line black, crenulated, receding from the 

 margin. Hind wings rather light gray, with faint discal spot and 

 outer line. Expanse: Male 40 mm.; female 45 mm. 



Two males, three females, Glenwood Springs, Colorado 

 (W. Barnes), and Colorado (D. Bruce). 



Type: No. 13468, U. S. National Museum. 

 This is similar to pinicola, but larger and paler. 



TWO NOCTUIDS NEW TO OUR FAUNA. 



The peculiar noctuid Peosina pandrosa Cramer must be 

 added to our list, as I have before me a specimen labeled 

 "Miami, Florida." The moth has a geometriform appear- 

 ance and the median vein is trifid on the forewings, although 

 typically quadrifid on the hind wings. The very peculiar 

 palpi with long slender end-joint and the large eyes are also 

 characteristic. 



Prodenia latifascia Walker also occurs with us. I have a 

 specimen recently collected by R. A. Vickery at Brownsville, 

 Texas. The moth resembles cudiopta Guenee of our lists 

 (-- ornithogalli Gueu.) but may be distinguished by the 

 ocherous median space, the color involving the stigmata.
