188 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Agrotis campestris Grote. 



This species, collected by Mr. Geo. Norman at Orillia, No. 372, 

 appears to be a form of tessellata (maizi Fitch) ; it differs by the red 

 brown tinge of thorax and fringes, the imicolorous purplish black brown 

 primaries, and the coarseness of the black median lines. Specimens are 

 before me from N. Y. (Mead) and Vancouver Island (Hy. Edwards, 

 5,644). With other species of the genus, it is described in a paper pre- 

 sented to the Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia. 



ON A NEW CANADIAN LITHOPHANE AND SCOPELOSOMA. 



BY A. R. GROTE, BUFFALO, N. Y. 



Mr. George Norman has recently taken a number of the species of the 

 genus Lithophane at Orillia. In a recent letter, Mr. Norman records the 

 capture of petulca, ferrealis, disposita, Bethunei, semiusia, and " that lovely 

 oriunda, a single specimen." Mr. Norman also finds a number of speci- 

 mens of a large light grey species allied to laticinerea, but differing from 

 that species and cinerea in the position of the stigmata, the color, and the 

 shape of the subterminal line. I propose to call the species Lithophane 

 Georgii, after its discoverer. Fore wings bluish grey, with a white 

 shade on the shoulder above the black basal dash. T. a. line dentate, 

 indistinct. Orbicular erect, not oblique, moderate, concolorous, with a 

 paler annulus. In shape, color and form this spot offers decided differ- 

 ences when compared with allied species. Reniform squarish, darker 

 stained than the wing, proportionally smaller than in allied forms. T. p. 

 line sub-obsolete ; it appears to run nearer the subterminal line than usual; 

 the latter line consists of a series of disconnected, distinct, interspaceal, 

 blackish, triangulate marks. Fringes entire, concolorous. Hind wings 

 blackish fuscous, beneath with spot and line. Thorax concolorous with 

 primaries ; collar with a black line in front ; face with a black line ; 

 antennae whitish at base. Expanse 48 m. m. 



I have received from Mr. J. Pettit, of Grimsby, Ont, two specimens 

 of a small species of Scopclosoma, which I propose to call Pettiti. The little 

 roughly scaled species presents some resemblance in ornamentation to 

 Scopelosoma Graefiana. The color is orange ferruginous over light yellow ;
