Conchylis hipeana, n. s. 



Allied to argent if urcatana. Ochreous brown  the silver markings 

 rather distinctly outlined in black. Internal margin striped with silver. 

 Before anal angle a silver dot. Median stripe as in argentifurcatana, while 

 the inferior bulged prolongation is wider, preceded by a notch of dark 

 scales. An irregular silver patch above anal angle. Costa at base with a 

 silver stripe terminating before the usual oblique costal stripe. A silver 

 spot between this latter and the usual sub-apical trigonate patch. A ter- 

 minal apical discontinuous silver band. Hind wings and abdomen pale 

 fuscous with whitish fringes. This species differs by the costa being 

 silvery from the base outwardly and by the median stripe not being joined 

 to the first pblique costal stripe by a furcation. One specimen, from 

 W. Saunders, London, Ont.; taken at Port Stanley, Ont. Expanse 1.55 

 inch. 



Eustrotia caduca, 11. s. 



Among the species of Noctuidae which I have recently been able to 

 examine is a species of Eustrotia reared by Prof. Kellicott from  larvae 

 feeding on the Yellow Pond Lily (Nuphar adve?ia), and which I propose 

 to call Eustrotia caduca. At first sight it looks like a very large E. apicosa 

 (= nigritu/aGuen.), but the differences in ornamentation are at once 

 perceivable on comparison. The colors and their disposition are similar. 

 From the base to the t. p. line the wing is purplish brown, deepening 

 outwardly in tone. The t. a. line is waved. Both stigmata are perceiv- 

 able, the reniform rather large and quadrate, not oblique as in apicosa ; 

 they are leather brown in color, as is the terminal portion of the wing 

 beyond the t. p. line. The shaded subterminal line is indented opposite 

 the cell. The fringes are blackish, checkered with leather brown. The 

 hind wings are fuscous, shaded with brown, and with double, faint mesial 

 lines. Head and thorax leather brown. Beneath brighter brown with 

 black discal mark on hind wings, double lines, the disc of the fore wings 

 blackish. The moth expands 28 m. m. Hab. Jackson Co., Michigan. 



Selenis monotropa, 11. s. 



Two fresh specimens, similar in appearance, but evidently of opposite 

 sex from the structure of the frenulum. The male has not the hind tarsi 

 covered with thick scales ; but the fore legs are thickly covered with 

 blackish hair, concealing a pale tibial tufting. Wings brownish black 

 with a broad gray costal margin to the fore wings, widening to the base
