Vancouver Island, Mr. Hy. Edwards, No. 5638. 



This is a large species, differing decidedly from velleripennis. 



A specimen sent by Mr. Theo. L. Mead, collected in Colorado, differs 

 by the general tone being more fuscous, less blackish, with the t. p. line 

 faintly legible. I think it is the same. Mr. Mead's number is 51. 



Agrotis gagates. N. sp. 



°_ . A single specimen collected by Mr. Mead, in Colorado, and sent 

 to me under the number 56, is closely allied to pastora/is, but differs 

 by the color of the fore wings and thorax being of an intense red brown, 

 very much like that of Hadena lateritia (dubitans Walk). The abdomen 

 is red tinted beneath. The subterminal line is pale, distinct, powdery,, 

 continued, of the usual irregular shape. There is no trace of it in 

 pastoralis. Expanse 43 m. m. 



In this Coloradian species the t. p. line is visible through a lighter 

 succeeding tinting ; it is not bent down below the cell, and is slightly and 

 regularly lunulate.
