THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



with a short tooth on the fold between the costal and subcostal veins ; 

 from discal tooth it recedes to median vein a little nearer the body than 

 its inception on the costa • from this it extends out in another tooth nearly 

 twice as far out as the discal tooth, the point resting on the submedian 

 fold, almost reaching the inflection of the t. p. line, the points of both 

 lines nearly obsolete in a white patch at this place that fades out into the 

 general color ; about the middle of the space from the median vein to 

 submedian fold a brownish black spur is sent out parallel with the median 

 vein, terminating above the middle of the white patch ; the line reaches 

 the posterior margin by another inflexion on submedian vein, and another 

 outward tooth below the vein. A fine line extends along the submedian 

 fold to the white patch. Median shade distinct above the cell, outwardly 

 oblique. Stigmata only indicated by a slight brown discoloration except 

 below the reniform is an arc on the median vein as though part of the 

 annulus. T. p. line obsolete except on costa and below second median 

 venule, the angle next to the white patch filled with a black shading ; from 

 this a slightly double curved line extends to end of first submedian venule. 

 Veins finely black ; in s. t. space a tendency to black interspaceal lines. 

 Terminal line black, broken, a few inward inflexions. Fringe gray, brown 

 tinted, a paler central line, cut with white at the end of veins to this line. 

 Hind wings sordid white, veins dark, a broad smoky black border that 

 is narrow at the anal angle. Fringe pale with a dark sub-basal line. 



Palpi porrect ; third joint slender, dark brown ; sides of first and 

 second, brown mixed with white, white beneath. Eyes naked, without 

 lashes. Head gray, a space between the antennae with a black annulus. 

 Collar gray with three narrow black lines, first space suffused with pale 

 brown, tips of posterior scales white. Pategia clear pale gray, apparently 

 a narrow terminal line. Thorax gray, one specimen shows indication of a 

 very slight posterior tuft, but not more so than some Agrotis. Abdomen 

 whitish, slight dorsal dark gray tufts on joints i to 3, usually a dorsal dark 

 line, suffusion of pale brown on joints 4 to 7. Beneath whitish with a 

 slight yellowish tinge ; legs gray, tarsi dark ; tibia? unarmed. 



Described from three specimens taken at Hockley, Harris Co., Texas, 

 by my friend, Leopold Hartmann, to whom I have dedicated the species ; 

 his number, 105, white label. 



This is near C. ser?'aticomis, Lintn., but differs in the antennae being 

 simple, and several points in coloration.
