198 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



I refer this genus to the Deltoids near Hertninia. My single specimen 

 in good condition has the fore feet so tufted that I cannot make out satis- 

 factorily the form of the tibiae and tarsi ; they seem to be aborted. 



Pallachira biviftata, ?l s. 



Entirely pale ochrey, powdered with fuscous. A broad fuscous stripe 

 below median vein from base to external margin. A second shorter stripe 

 from the extremity of the cell outwardly. Else the entire insect is con- 

 colorous. Expa7ise 25 mil. Buffalo, July, coll. auct. The fore wings 

 recall in color those of Arsilonche Henrici. 



Agrotis trabalis, n. s. 



% . Fore tibiae unarmed ; middle and hind pair spinose. Eyes naked. 

 Thorax with a small tuft behind the collar ; behind with a divided tuftlet. 

 Abdomen a little flattened, carinated, with a tuft on basal segment. Wings 

 ample ; form rather stout. Whitish gray with large stigmata and bright 

 brown contrasting subterminal space. A basal black dash, a second above 

 it on the cell, before the orbicular, which latter is near the t. a. line, 

 inaugurated above it on costa by two black lines rather wide apart, with 

 white included space. Below the t. a. line is twice waved to internal 

 margin. Basal space whitish ; basal line indicated. Sub-basal space dark 

 gray. Stigmata concolorous, ringed with black, very large. Claviform 

 incomplete ; orbicular a little flattened, ovate ; reniform moderately 

 excavate. T. p. line narrow, geminate, regularly and slightly scalloped, 

 with a deeper incision opposite the cell. Subterminal space rather wide, 

 bright brown ; s. t. line faint, pale ; terminal space rather narrow, dark 

 gray. A dentate black continuous terminal line. Hind wings pale gray 

 fuscous, with pale fringes touched with blackish at extremity of veins ; a 

 black terminal line. Beneath pale, powdered with dark scales ; an indis- 

 tinct common outer line ; discal lunule filled in and prominent on hind 

 wings, empty on primaries. Abdomen pale ; thorax gray, darker shaded 

 on tegulae. Second palpal joint outwardly black. Front white inferiorly 

 below a frontal black line. The collar has no transverse black line, but 

 is tipped with a darker shade. Expanse 42 mil. Mass. (Roland Thaxter). 



A second specimen in poor condition, from Montreal (Couper), has 

 the wings more obscure, the brown subterminal space im prominent. In 

 the type there is merely a black line inferiorly connecting the stigmata 

 along the median vein. In the Canadian specimen the orbicular and reni-
