'26 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Differs from fiitela by its less purely olivaceous color, the absence of 

 the t. p. line and inconspicuous costal dots. The thoracic tuft behind 

 the collar is prominent. 



Lygranthoecia Meskeana Grote. 



I learn that this species has been re-described under the name Heliothis 

 fastidiosa Strecker. 



Xylomiges hiemalis ( irote. 



I learn that this is the " Dryobota Calif o mica Behr. MS.," too briefly 

 described in Mr. Strecker's work for identification, and later than the above 

 name in appearing. The eyes are hairy, not naked, as they should be 

 were the insect a Dryobota. 



Galgula subpartita Guen. 



This species I have collected not uncommonly in Central Alabama. 

 Mr. Belfrage has sent it from Texas, and Mr. Lintner from New York. It 

 has also been sent from California by Mr. Hy. Edwards and Mr. James 

 Behrens. From Illinois Mr. Thos. E. Bean has forwarded me a specimen 

 authentically determined as " Telesilla vesca Morrison." This latter 

 name is a synonym ; the species of Galgula being also generically dis- 

 tinguishable from Telesilla. 



Hadctia t/i/aesifa, n. s. 



This is closely allied to Hgnicolor, but a darker colored species. The 

 ornamentation is similar, the stigmata more distinct, the reniform smaller. 

 The median lines are faint, and seem to occupy similar positions with 

 those in lignicolor, but here the t. p. line is more flexuous, being a little 

 bent between veins 2 and 3. The hind wings are blackish fuscous, paler 

 at base, with faint median line, reflected disc&l spot and light yellowish 

 fringes. Beneath darker than in Ugtiicolor. In the new species the color 

 is more blackish brown ; over the terminal space the color is, as usual, 

 deeper, relieving strongly the pale W-mark. On a close comparison, the 

 t. a. line is seen to be less strongly produced on submedian fold than in 

 ligmcolor ; the reniform is narrower superif rly, smaller, and less con- 

 stricted. Else the species might be considered at first sight as a very 

 dark lignicolor, with the markings distinctly apparent. The orbicular is 

 pale and reduced. Expanse 45 mil. Racine. Wise, Mr. O. Meske,
