jg. Hadena divesta Grote, ante, 215. 



Three fresh specimens from Vancouver Island, with the fore wings a 

 little more brown than the Californian type. This handsome species may 

 be recognized by the outward position of the t. p. line and its general 

 straightness. It is allied to atlantica, subjuncta, etc., but is far prettier 

 and has possibly a nearer European ally. 



Vancouver Island, No. 5573, Mr. Hy. Edwards. 



$g. Hadena indirecta Grote. 



This species resembles H. divesta, but the t. p. line is exserted on the 

 median nervules, below which it runs inwardly, constricting the median 

 space greatly inferiorly, The fore wings are more purely brown ; the 

 median space blackish. The W-shaped mark of the subterminal line 

 obsolete, not distinct as in divesta. The orbicular is oblique and narrow, 

 not rounded and full as in its ally. The hind wings are fuscous, with the 

 line not as distinct as in divesta. There is a dark mark on the sub- 

 terminal fold of primaries before the subterminal line, and the fold on the 

 median space is also marked. The median lines are geminate, the veins 

 beyond the t. p. line dark marked. There appears to be a dark basal 

 mark continued along vein 1. Expanse 36 m. m. Two specimens, the 

 male with simple antennae, in not the best condition, sent by Mr. Hy. 

 Edwards from Vancouver Island, under the number 5588. 



60. Actinotia Stew art i Grote. 



The eyes are naked and the species is congeneric with the Eastern 

 ramosula. The basal ray is broader. The pale reniform is closed with a 

 V-shaped outward notch, and situated nearer to the t. p. line, which latter 

 is visible as a continuous dark shade, angulate on the veins, from opposite 

 the cell to internal margin, The orbicular is oblique, not longitudinal 

 pale centered, black ringed, small. The wing is shaded with brown below 

 the basal dash, and also below vein 2. The inferior zigzag portion of the 

 t. a. line is visible. Hind wings darker than in ramosula, wholly fuscous. 

 Expanse 30 m. m.
