Therina Iceta, n. sp. 



Expands 27 mm. Smaller than any other Therina, the colour 

 very nearly the shade of T. fiscellaria, Walk.; inner line straight, 

 the outer angled below costa ; hind wings with line straight; fore 

 wings even on outer margin ; beneath lighter, unicolorous. 



N. Mex. 

 Stetiaspilates albidula, n. sp. 



Expands 38-40 mm. Very much in lines like S. Meskearia, Pack., 

 but ground colour nearly white, and other markings very much lighter, 

 and the insect is considerably larger ; the margins of the wings differ in 

 being almost entirely even in outline. 



Colo., N. Mexico. National Museum, type No. 4698. 

 Caberodes subochrearia, n. sp. 



Expands 42 mm. Much as C. coti/usaria, Hubn., in ground colour, 

 but with reddish brown cross lines, the basal evenly rounded, the outer 

 angled at costa, then straight to inner margin, nearly joining the basal 

 line there ; a single line on hind wings, this being a continuation of the 

 ba'-al, not the outer line ; beneath more reddish brown, the outer line 

 ])resent on fore wings, this being doubled at costa ; the line of hind wings 

 wanting ; discal spots present above and below on all wings. 



New Jersey ; from Mr. Kemp. I have the female only, so the 

 generic determination may not be correct. 



NOTE ON GORTYNA EREPTA. 



BY A. R. GROTE, A. M., HILDESHEIM, GERMANY. 



This species was described from material collected by Prof Snow in 

 Douglas Co., Kansas, and the type is in Coll. British Museum. It is now 

 suspected that Gortyna erepta may be the same species with Hydrcecia 

 iunaia, and it is to be regretted that an opportunity of examining the 

 type in British Museum Coll. has been passed over. The appearance of 

 the reniform is characteristic in this genus. In erepta it is described as 

 '•small, a white lialf-moon in a blackish shade." In hmaia, "narrow, 

 white oblique lunule, margined by black scales." The reniform spot thus 

 seems to be identically described in both cases. In erepta the lines are 

 described as fuscous, simple. In lunata as single and whitish. I never 

 saw a noctuid in which the lines were white or paler than the wing, but 

 there is a following pale shade which sometimes persists when the dark 

 line itself becomes obliterate. It seems as though this discrepancy
