band broken superiorly and interrupted at the binding ; it appears as a 

 spot again above the white discal spot. Body Hght ochrey above, white 

 beneath. Expanse 30 mil. New Mexico, Las Vegas. Prof. Snow. 



This must be allied to Formosata and Dryadata ; it differs from the 

 latter description in the color not being " russet " and in the interrupted 

 mesial band beneath. Smaller and paler than Seifferti. No. 1015. 



Agrotis Dollii, n. s. 



^ % . Male antennae pectinate, ciliate. Eyes naked, unlashed. 

 Tibise all armed. Labial palpi with spreading hairs. Base of legs and 

 thorax beneath pilose. Lr appearance allied to the Lagena- Vernilis 

 group, but not unlikely best placed near Rileyana. Gray washed with 

 rusty ochreous. The % shows the pale claviform spot. There are rusty 

 cuneiform marks before the s. t. line ; the terminal space is darker ; 

 median space grayer than the rest. The rusty ochrey paler tint obtains 

 over subterminal space. Orbicular small, sagittate, pointed outwardly. 

 Reniform small, upright, scroll-shaped, flecked with white on median vein. 

 T. a. line with large teeth ; t. p. line denticulate ; both lines single, faint 

 dark gray, rather approximate. Thorax rusty gray. Hind wings white in 

 both sexes ; veins incompletely marked ; fringe white. Arizona. Coll. 

 Mr. B. Neumoegen. I name this fine species for Mr. J. Doll, who col- 

 lected it in the San Francisco Mountains. Its colors are not distinct, but 

 they are harmoniously blended, the markings easy to recognize the species 

 by, and it is a well-sized and notable addition to our fauna. 



Agrotis Niveilinea, n. s. 



^ ^ . More robust than Ridingsiana, with white secondaries like 

 4-dentaia, stouter than this or Cicatricosa. A white /ine crosses the tegiilce, 

 parallel with the white streak on subcostal vein. Thorax fuscous. Color 

 varying to rusty fuscous, the female and most of the males tend to be pale. 

 Median vein narrowly striped with white. A rusty stain on the subequal 

 stigmata. White dentate shades accompany more prominently the black 

 veins 3 and 4, and less so veins 6 and 7. Median lines black, lunate, 

 relieved by rusty shades. Hind wings white with terminal line and white 

 fringes. Expanse 35 mil. Arizona, Mr. Doll. Nearly a dozen examples. 



Heliophila Rimosa, n. s. 



^. Fore wings hoary gray, something like Z/^<7/^ in color ; irrorate 

 with dark speckles, and with a faint warm shade reminding one a little of 

 Unipimcta in these respect.s. Allied to Commoides : no lines or spots
