broad diffuse blackish border and while interhned fringe. Beneath sHghtly 

 yellow'isli with Ijroad borders to both wings. A dot and fragmentary inner 

 mesial liiie on hind wings. Thora.x. gray ; abdomen yellowish gray. 

 Arizona. Coll. B. Neumoegen, Esq. Distantly resembles tlie European 

 Cavipicola ; very distinct from any species described by me. 



Agrotis CiTRicoLOK, Grote. 



Agrees with types of Citricolor, but the markings are distin t ; the 

 colors are pale yellow, somewhat ochrey on the thora.x, and the terminal 

 space is fuscous, ihe fringes a little reddish or brownish. Median lines 

 faint, pale fuscous, the t. a. single, very faint, the t. p. apparently single, 

 denticulate. Orbicular hardly noticeable ; reniform moderate, pale black- 

 ish or fuscous : s. t. line pale ; terminal space narrow, blackish or fuscous ; 

 fringes whitish or tinged witli brownish. Hind wings pure white. Beneath 

 white ; costa; yellowish ; faint traces of spots and lines. Oak Creek

Is apparently not different from Citrico/or, but the terminal space is 

 not " brownish," but fuscous, without any warm tint, and the lines are dis- 

 tinct. The species is somewhat variable, I take it, in the amount of mark- 

 ings expressed, and there is no room for the erection of a second yellow 

 Agrotis at the e.xpense of Citricolor. It has a frontal tubercle and I 

 refer the moth to Cqriieades, it being congeneric with C. iiioere/ts. 



Agrotis Muscosa, n. s. 



Female. Form rather stout. Fore wings of an even smooth gray with 

 an ochre tinge. Markings obsolete. Median shade distinct ochre brown- 

 ish. Stigmata cdncolorous ; reniform with a blackish inferior stain. Lines 

 double, marked on costa by small black dots. Abdomen whitish, marked 

 with ochre-brown at tip. Collar and thorax tinged with ochre-brown. 

 This species must not be confounded with any of the forms of Auxiliaris, 

 which it approaches somewhat y\i is not so large, and appears stouter, with 

 a resemblance to the Lubricans group. Oak Creek Canon, Colorado, J- 

 Doll legit. In Coll. B. Neumoegen, Esq. 



Plusia Egena Guen. 



This species must be added to our fauna. Mr. Neumoegen and Mr. 

 Hy. Edwards have received it from Indian River, Florida. Guenee 

 describes it from Brazil. Our specimens are hardly " d'un carne rose'," so 

 far as the ground color is concerned, but pale rosy brown. Some of our 

 Plusias are widely distributed : according to Berg P. Bilolni is found also 

 in Cliili.
