28 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



In ornamentation G: Behrensiana resembles these two species, and the 

 abdomen also seems shorter than usual. 



Among the species of Mamestra which may come to be removed to 

 this genus is M. lorea Guen. Several other species show no or little 

 tuftings, and their position cannot be considered definite until we have 

 fresh reared specimens and can be guided also by our knowledge of the 

 preliminary stages. 



Graphiphora Garmaiii, n. s. 



$. Roughly haired. Eyes hairy. A stouter and larger form than 

 incerta. Antennae brush-like, not pectinate, the joints knobbed. Rich 

 brown with obsolete ornamentation. Stigmata approximate, concolorous, 

 moderate, entire, ringed narrowly and the reniform incompletely with 

 black. T. p. line double, even, with pale included shade, much as in 

 contrahens, but more sinuate inferiorly. Subterminal line brought into 

 prominence by black scales sub-apically and again more noticeably below 

 vein. 4. Fringes concolorous, cut indistinctly with pale at extremity of 

 nervules. Hind wings dusty, with warmer fringes ; discal spot from under 

 surface apparent. Thorax dark brown, untufted. Beneath the wings show 

 discal dots and faint exterior line. The color is light brownish, somewhat 

 irrorate. Expanse 36 mil. 



One good specimen from Northern Illinois, collected by Prof. N. H. 

 Garman. At once distinct from any of the varieties of incerta by the 

 impectinate antennae. 



Graphiphora perbrunnea, n. s. 



$ % . A small form with ciliate antennse and hairy eyes, allied to 

 puerilis by the white discal mark and in color recalling Hadena fracti- 

 linea, but more reddish. Veins black. Reniform narrow, black, bordered 

 outwardly by a white streak. Median space superiorly shaded with black. 

 T. p. line even, angulated on vein 5 opposite the disc, followed by venular 

 dots. Orbicular indistinct, concolorous, defined by black scales. Fringes 

 black with white venular dots. Veins broadly marked with black on 

 terminal space. S. t. line shaded anteriorly with brown. Ground of the 

 wing bright reddish brown. Hind wings blackish with contrasting pale 

 reddish fringes. Thorax reddish brown, abdomen blackish with reddish 

 lateral and anal hairs. Beneath pale with distinct exterior common line 

 even on fore wings, dentate on secondaries, which latter show the discal 

 dot distinctly. Feet dotted. , Pectus pale reddish.
