with a slight rose tint to the long hairs on the basal segments, and a slight 

 ochre tint on the posterior part of each segment, the terminal brush a 

 dark brownish ochre. Under side of the body the same as the upper, the 

 long hairs having the rosy tint. Primaries the same color as the thorax, 

 marked with darker shades of brown, with a few lighter scales on the 

 veins and a few black scales scattered over different parts of the surface. 

 Basal, t. a. and t. p. lines moderately distinct, double, composed of brown 

 and black scales, in which the black predominates, the included space a 

 little lighter than the ground color ; the t. p. line strongly arcuated beyond 

 the reniform. Transverse shade prominent below the median vein and 

 near the costa. Subterminal line light, running nearly parallel with the 

 outer margin, bordered on its inner side with a dark brown that shades 

 out towards the t. p. line. Between the subterminal line and the outer 

 border is the lightest part of the wing. Orbicular and reniform annulated 

 with slightly lighter brown than the ground color, the first somewhat kid- 

 ney-shaped, the last with a prominent black spot in its lower part. Second- 

 aries blackish brown, not very dark, scarcely lighter at the base. Fringes 

 dark reddish brown with a narrow ochreous stripe at the base. Under 

 side a little lighter than above, with a distinct black arcuated line mark- 

 ing the outer third of both wings.

Heliothis Illinoiensis, n. s. 



Length .45 of an inch. Expanse of wings 1.10 inches. Color of 

 head and thorax reddish brown, the dorsal portion of each having a yel- 

 lowish cast. The abdomen rather dark nankeen yellow. Under side of 

 body a mixture of yellow and reddish brown. Primaries reddish brown, 

 being rather more of a red than a brown, with patches of dark ochre 

 scales between the stigmata, the reniform and the t. p. line, and below the 

 median vein. Basal, t. a. and t. p. lines black, single, the t. a. line with 

 a strong outward angle just before reaching the hind margin, the t. p. line 

 angulated about the same as in other species of the genus. Transverse 

 shade distinct only near the costa and hind margin. Subterminal line 

 broken into about nine black spots without shading. The annulations of 

 the stigmata indistinct, these spots chiefly marked by a few enclosed black 

 scales, portions of the black annulus being seen in places. At the base 

 of the wing, on the hind margin, is a small patch of yellow scales similar
