wanting. There is a narrow brown crenulate terminal line, emphasized by 

 better defined blackish interspacial dots. Orbicular wanting. The 

 reniform is a vague, undefined, oval, blackish spot. Secondaries dark 

 smoky brown, without obvious markings. Beneath, yellowish with smoky 

 powderings and an ill defined discal spot on all wings. 



Expands: 1.36 inches = 34 mm. 



Habitat : North Carolina, in August. 



One male and one female ; the former in very fair, the latter in 

 defective condition. I have no recollection as to the source of the 

 specimens and no indication as to more exact locality. The difference 

 between the sexes is striking; but whether it is always so I am not able to 

 say. The species belongs with glans, Grt., ■SiXid. fiavistriaris, Hbn., which 

 is not the same as the flavisti-iaris of Guenee. I have notes on all the 

 type specimens in European Museums, but have been unable to get 

 material upon which I might base a revision of the species, some of which 

 are wrongly named in nearly all collections. ' 



BOMOLOCHA HEULOA, n. Sp. 



Ground colour dull, dark smoky-brown, all the maculation obscure. 

 Head and thorax concolorous with primaries, not maculate ; abdomen 

 with dorsum a little darker, the sides a little paler than secondaries. 

 Primaries with median lines narrow, just defined, black with a vague paler 

 edging outwardly. T. a. line upright, regular bisinuate. T. p. line at or 

 a little beyond the middle, roughly parallel with the outer margin, drawn 

 in below the cell, more or less outcurved above and below that point. S. 

 t. line punctiform, blackish, variably defined, a little sinuate. Terminal 

 line blackish, broken, sometimes not traceable ; fringes concolorous. The 

 orbicular is a small patch of black, elevated scales. The reniform is a 

 narrow curved line of such scales, outwardly with a vague paler shading. 

 Under the lens the surface appears flecked with metallic-blue scales. 

 Secondaries a little lighter than primaries and palest at base. Beneath 

 with a grayish tinge, powdery ; secondaries with a discal dot and traces 

 of a powdery median shade line. 



Expands: 1.18-1.24 inches = 29-31 mm. 



Habitat : Cochise County, Arizona, in July. 



One male and two females in passable condition, from Mr. George 

 Franck. As is usual in this genus, the male is a little larger and more 

 robust than the female, and also a little more sordid in colour. The 

 primaries are distinctly angulated at middle of outer margin in all the 

 specimens ; but in the females the angle is better defined a.nd there is a
