proportionate and enclosing a blackish inferior stain as in allied genera. 

 The subterminal line is quite distinct, being indicated by a line of 

 powdery greyish scales, like the stigmata. There is an extremely fine 

 grey, wavy terminal line before the margin, formed by the outer edging of 

 the deeper tinted marginal line which appears as interspaceal points. 

 Fringes light brown, cut by a fine darker hair line (preceded by a pale 

 line) without the middle. Hind wings pale, much soiled with fuscous 

 and with the pale fringes ruddy tinted. Beneath fuscous, with a rufous 

 tinge, both wings rather dark, with discal marks and a broad, vague, 

 common shade line. Thorax like fore wings ; collar above with indistinct 

 pale edging ; palpal tips pale, as is the front, else the head is rufous. Ex- 

 panse^ 32 m. m. St. Catharines. 



Besides the foregoing, Mr. Geo. Norman has secured specimens, in 

 beautiful condition, of the following Noctuae, on Catkins, in May : 



LWiophane vulgaris^ G. & R. (socia of my List) ; Lith. dispositay 

 Morr. ; Lith. Bethimei, G. & R.; Lith. ferrealis, Grote (allied to the 

 European L. semi-bnmnea, Haw) ; Lith. laticiiierea, Grote. ; Morrisonia 

 vo??ieri7ia, Grote ; Actinotia ramosula (Guen.,) and Taenioca77ipa alia 

 Guen. These species are mostly additions to the Canadian lists. It is 

 improbable that Taeniocauipa i?istabilis occurs in N. Am.; and T. alia has 

 probably been mistaken for it. 



The following species of European Nocture are credited to North 

 America with apparent certainty : 



Agrotis augur (Fabr.) 



" baja (W. V.) 



" c-nigrum (Linn.) 



" plecta (Linn.) 



" femiica (Tausch.) 



" conflua (Treits.) 



" saucia, Hubn. 



" segetum (S. V.) 



" suffusa (S. V.) 

 Mamestra graiidis (Boisd.) 



" brassicce (Linn.) 

 Hadena arctica, Boisd. 



" riirea (Fabr.) 

 Dipterygia pinastri (Linn.)
