°_ . The males are not known of this genus, which differs from the 

 Ammoconia group of Agrotis, by the want of a mesial thoracic crest, un- 

 armed fore tibiae and the spines on the fore tarsi. P. taedata is of a 

 faded olive fuscous, with a dusting of darker scales ; hind wings and 

 under surface tinged with ruddy. Stigmata darker than the wing, black- 

 ish ; orbicular rounded ; reniform upright, squarish. T. p. line black, 

 even, nearly straight, slightly bent ; s. t. line irregular. Hind wings with 

 faint mesial line and spot, more visible beneath, where in the primaries 

 the discal mark forms an annulus. Expanse 44 m. m. Texas (G. W. 

 Helfrage, No. 584, Nov. 15). 



In the specimen the t. a. line is not indicated. The large species

 than P. blanda, with larger stigmata. There is a faint terminal festooned 

 iine on the wings, beyond which the concolorous fringes are paler, a little 

 yellowish, at, their base.
