concolorous with palpi. There are three transverse lines on the ante- 

 rior wings straight in their course, and composed of regular lunules. 

 each of which is pale cinereous margined externally with brown scales. 

 The basal line is composed of but two lunules, one on each side of the base 

 of the median nervule. The middle line situated on the basal third of 

 the wing is composed below the submedian fold of two large lunules. 

 more than twice as large as the remaining lunules. The third line is 

 sinuate and obscure. Beyond is a fourth and submarginal line, slightly 

 sinuate, and composed of internervular brown spots: 



Secondaries whitish at base, becoming smoky externally and greenish 

 ashen on the costa. Beneath, the body and wings are concolorous and 

 of an uniform pale ashen, with a slight olivaceous hue, especially on 

 the costae. 



Length of body, .90 ; exp. wings, 2.00 inches.

Locliinaeus cinereus n. sp. 



■J) . Of a peculiar smoky cinereous, frosted with a few white scales, 

 and characterized by the absence of any distinct markings. Head and 

 thorax concolorous with the wings. Antennae pale testaceous. Palpi 

 brown on the sides, beneath very pale. The only transverse line pre- 

 sent on the fore wings is a submarginal row of indistinct brown ashen 

 internervular spots, margined broadly without with white. The places 

 of three inner lines are indicated by three costal spots, very obscure, 

 which are bi'own ashen, margined on each side with whitish scales. 

 Of these the basal one is most distinct. The costal and inner edges of 

 the wing are dusted more thickly with white scales than the outer and 

 middle parts of the wing. 



Secondaries smoky cinereous, especially on the costa, where is an 

 abbreviated pale band, which does not reach the middle of the wing. 

 Beneath whitish ashen, but a little darker on the costa of the primaries. 



Length of body, .75; exp. wings, 1.80 inch. 



Taken at light, at Brunswick, Me. 



This species, while smaller than the preceding, diifers structurally 

 from it in having more slender and more thinly scaled palpi ; the an- 

 tennae are not so heavily pectinated, and the wings are a little shorter 

 and broader. The absence of any marking but the outer obscure band.
