which latter is obsolete, its inner curved edge alone visible. Median lines 

 propinquitous, recalling in aspect some species of Homohadena. The 

 t. p. line is much exserted medially, retiring inwardly to internal margin, 

 approaching t. a. line as nearly as at costa. The line is dentate, forming 

 points on the veins, followed by pale dots. T. a. line perpendicular, with 

 a more prominent subcostal tooth. Median shade visible. Fringes con- 

 colorous. Collar gray, tipped with brownish ; thorax darker gray. 

 Abdomen whitish. Beneath whitish with incomplete line and dots. All, 

 the tibiae armed. Male antennae brush-like : the hind wings white with 

 soiled veins and a faint terminal line.

Agrotis ver?iilis, 11. s. 



£ . Antennae sub-serrate, ciliate. This species belongs in appear- 

 ance to the Western species, ffoilemani, si/ens, lagena, albalis* and choris, 

 but the fore tibiae appear unarmed. In color it is a darker gray than any 

 of its allies, the hind wings evenly grayish fuscous and more obscure. In 

 ornamentation it resembles lagena. The lines are obsolete. There is a 

 submedian basal black dash. The median lines are indicated by black 

 costal shades. The outer (t. p.) line is seen to be rounded over the 

 nervules below costa, running well outwardly ; in lagena there is an 

 apparent angulation and the line is less outwardly produced. The veins 

 are finely marked in black as in choris. The color is uniformly dark 

 mixed gray ; the ordinary spots paler. These latter are complete and 

 distinct. The reniform is moderate, kidney-shaped, shorter, broader, less 

 incised than in lagena, with a faint internal ring, finely edged with black 

 more noticeably inwardly. The orbicular is similar in color, elongate, 

 oblique, pear-shaped, tapering outwardly to the reniform which it attains i 

 in lagena it lies parallel with the cell and fuses with the reniform, while 

 differently shaped. T. p. line indicated by pale venular points. Fringes 

 concolorous gray-fuscous. Thorax concolorous with primaries ; a fine 

 black line crosses the collar. Beneath fore wings dark, hind wings pale 

 fuscous ; a common, transverse, dark, discontinued shade line ; discal 

 spot small, open on hind wings, luniform on primaries. Hind wings 

 darkly irrorate on a whitish ground.

 Eastern species allied to albalis.
