THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 233 



Melicleptria oregonensis Hy. Edw. 



This species has been sent me by Dr. Bailey from Nevada (No. 19). 



Chytoryza iccta Grote. 



This genus is characterized by a pellucid impression on the fore wings 

 of the male on the cell before the transverse posterior line. In the shape 

 of the wings it differs from Pteraetholix bullula and in the thinner labial 

 palpi. These two genera from Alabama and Texas seem to be our 

 nearest allies to the genera Anotnis and Aletia. 



Catocala cdelebs Grote. 



Another specimen of this rare species has been taken by Mr. Hill this 

 season in the Adirondacks. This species has the fore wings black and 

 gray. What is probably a variety of C.'badia, with brown primaries, but 

 with the lines better marked than in the type, has passed erroneously as 

 C. ccelebs in several collections I have recently seen. Probably this mis- 

 take has led to the belief that arlebs was only a form of badia. 



Asopia cohortalis, n. s. 



$ . Allied to squamealis and with blackish fringes and distinct black 

 terminal line. Head and thorax, basal and terminal fields of primaries 

 ochre brown. Median space shaded with black. Inner line dentate as 

 in squamealis, black, preceded by a paler ochre shade. The pale shades 

 are well marked on costa, but do not spread or form blotches as in 

 squamealis. Outer line upright, a little bent in on costal region, denticu- 

 late, black ; it is further removed from external margin than in squamealis; 

 between the lines are three costal marks ; the two median lines are 

 parallel, the distance between them remaining the same. Hind wings 

 fuscous with double blackish lines ; fringes interlined with black ; a ter- 

 minal black line ; fringes fuscous. Beneath the primaries show a series 

 of costal marks to the common outer line, which is black ; beyond the 

 line the terminal field is shaded with ochre. A dotted terminal black 

 line ; fringes fuscous, interlined. Expanse 25 mil. ; Colorado, Mr. E. L. 

 Graef. The color and position of the outer line are different from 

 squamealis. 



Agrotis piscipellis, n. s. 



$ % . A species with simple antenna;, armed tibiae, naked eyes and 

 untufted thorax, and somewhat flattened abdomen, which resembles Ufeus
