feriorly. Else as in the male. In one specimen there are terminal dots 

 near the anal angle of secondaries. Two specimens, one expanding 46 

 mil., the other only 38 mil. Savannah, Norwich, in Mus. Brem. 



Renewed examinations of the male of this prominent and well-sized 

 species show, that in certain lights exceedingly faint traces of the t. a. 

 line may be discerned. But the brown surface of the wing is unbroken to 

 the eye, without lines or discal spot, and is relieved only by the distinct 

 apical mark. 



Agnomonia, Hiibn. 



1. Anilis, Drury, II., 21, PI. XII., 3, 1 770—1 775. 



Sequistrlaris, Hiibn., Zutr., 419-20, 1825, Agnomonia. 



Anilis, Guen., VII., 273, 1S52, Agnomonia. 



Two specimens of this not unusual species from Savannah in Mus- 

 Brem. In this genu's the apices of forewings are sharp, the short fringes 

 usually discolorous, the external margin sinuous or straight, not rounded ; 

 the forewings have a certain lustre on their upper surface. 



2. Quadrifilaris, Hiibn., Zutr., 569-70. 1825, Agnomonia. 



Guen., VII., 300, 1852, Poaphila. 



Two specimens of this well-marked species from Savannah in Mus. 

 Brem. Smaller than anilis, of a lighter lustrous brovvn. The fore- 

 wings crossed by two white median stripes, narrower than in anilis, and 

 continuous, whereas in anilis the outer band is abbreviated. Anilis is 

 much stouter with the external margin sinuate, curving inwardly below 

 the apex. 



3. Obsoleta. Grt. Proc. Bost. Soc, N. H., 417, 1876, Poaphila. 



Quadrifilaris, var. A., Guen., VII., 301, 1852, Poaphila. 



Of this species, taken by Dr. Thaxter in Florida, there are no speci- 

 mens in the collection. According to my observation, it is decidedly 

 distinct from Quadrifilaris. 



4. Erasa, Guen., VII., 301, 1852, Poaphila. 



The forewings are of a somewhat grayish or fuscous-brown with a 

 slight lustre, darker shaded outwardly. The markings are quite indistinct,
