Hkpialus P'urcatus. 



Dark sable In-own. .\ broad submarginal band furcate below apices 

 and continued irregularly along internal nnargin, paler than the rest of the 

 wing, variable in width, edged with dark, almost black scales, and with a 

 blackish marginal submedian shade spot. Two or three pale marks on 

 costa within the short inner branch of the band, which is not interrupted, 

 and; the fringes of secondaries being checkered, divides this form from 

 Dr. Packard's Labradoriensis, unknown to me. Fringe of both wings 

 checkered with pale. Hind wings uniform pale sable brown with two 

 marks on costa, which may indicate transverse bands. Body dark sable 

 brown. Size of H. Gracilis, but much darker. Four specimens agree 

 very nearly. On primaries, the external margin and the middle of the 

 wing are more distinctly warm brown, and on the disc are traces of an 

 incomplete inner transverse band. One specimen (a $ ?) is a little larger 

 with the subterminal band very wide. Beneath the subterminal band is 

 partly reflected. Mr. Hill. Adirondacks. 



Megachyta iNCON.sriCt ALIS, n. s. 



A little smaller than Deceptricalis and darker. Fuscous gray shaded 

 outwardly with blackish. Inner line single, uneven, arising from a hardly 

 accentuated black costal mark. Outer line denticulate, merely rather 

 gradually widening to costa. S. t. line upright, pale, very fine ; a discal 

 dot. Hind wings like primaries with two extra mesial pale-shaded lines, 

 the inner indistinct, the outer with the following pale shade more a]jparent 

 at anal angle, as in its ally. This species is smaller and darker than 

 Deceptricalis. with the median lines hardly accentuated on costa, especially 

 is this latter character true of the inner line, which is more irregular. Two 

 specimens. Mr. Hill. Adirondacks. 



.Vrsilonchk Henrici. 



I have again examined four specimens of All>ovciiosa. We have the 

 species united by Mr. Morrison solely on Dr. Staudinger's authority, and 

 that Dr. .Staudinger is not difficult in such matters is shown by his refer- 

 ence of our Graptce as varieties of the European species. The dark 

 shades are darker and look quite different in Alboraiosa. I never saw any 

 Henrici (and I have seen I should think a hundred) look like them. 

 Henrici I took three or four of on Staten Island in 1881, and again two 

 this year at light. Also one Ahsiduin. which seems to me cannot be a 

 mere variety. It differs less than many varieties, but it has more ghar-
