wing is a little darker. Hind wings pale fuscous with interlined white- 

 tipped fringes ; beneath reddish gray, with common line marked by black 

 scales on the veins. Expanse 36 mil. Differs by the stigmata not being 

 fused and pale, but finely ringed, separate and brown-centered. It may 

 eventuate that vomerine/, and evicta are not distinct specifically. 



Euleucyptera cumatilis Grote, Proc. Ent. Soc. Phil., 4, 330, pi. 2, fig. 6. 



I have noted in the Bull. U. S. Geol. Survey, p. 798, vol. 3, some of 

 the variations of this species, which is common in all the Colorado col- 

 lections. One specimen now before me from that locality has the discal 

 mark on hind wings evident ; another has an indication of the reniform 

 on primaries. These spots are an apparently variable character, since 

 from Kansas Prof. Snow has sent me an immaculate form. 



There cannot be any doubt that Mr. Strecker has re-named and re- 

 figured this species, in the report of the Chief of Engineers, as Heliothis 

 sulmala, on page 1862, plate 2, fig. 5. It is precisely the form with the 

 discal marks evident, and from Colorado, fully described and figured by 

 me thirteen years previously, which Mr. Strecker reproduces. The species 

 has been identified by me in many collections and is well known to West- 

 ern collectors under its proper name. I have given, Bull. B. S. N. S., 2, 

 pp. 219-221, the structure of the N. Am. Heliothis genera. From this, 

 if we are to take note of the armature of the legs, the vestiture of the 

 body, the structure of the eyes, which, together with the form of the genital 

 pieces and the venation, are all that we can use to establish genera in the 

 Noctuidre, we must consider that the genus Euleucyptera cannot be fused 

 with Heliothis. 



Ingura declinata, n. s. 



$ . Allied to praepilata from Texas, but larger, with longer wings. 

 Ornamentation and color of praepilata, but the secondaries are more than 

 half white, leaving but a moderate fuscous band along external margin. 

 On fore wings the exterior line is less even. Below the discal angulation 

 it shows a rounded uneven projection about vein 3. Otherwise the orna- 

 mentation is much like praepilata ; both stigmata present and the two 

 usual sub-apical black terminal longitudinal dashes ; at base the rounded 

 discolorous patch bounded by the half-line. Beneath, however, declinata 

 is largely whitish, with a white apical patch on fore wings followed by a 

 brown shade, enclosing the costal white dots beyond the angulation of the
