Noctuidae 
drawn for me by Mr. Horace Knight from the type which is 
contained in the British Museum. 
(2) Apharetra pyralis Smith. (Smith’s 
Apharetra.) 
The specimen represented in Fig. 89 is 
the type contained in the United States 
National Museum, a drawing of which I 
was kindly permitted to make. The species FlQr py? a lis] | ar f m 
is considerably darker than the preceding. 
It is thus far only known from the Territory of Alberta in 
British America. 
Genus ARSILONCHE Lederer 
Two species belonging to this genus are represented in our 
fauna. Arsilonche colorada was described by Smith in the 
Proceedings of the United States National Museum, Vol. XXII, 
p. 414, in 1900. The other species, which is well known, we 
figure. 
(1) Arsilonche albovenosa Gceze, Plate XVIII, Fig. 6, $. 
(The White-veined Dagger.) 
The abdomen in our figure is dark, the specimen being 
greased. It should be light, like the thorax. The insect occurs 
quite commonly in Canada and the northern portions of the 
United States, and also in Europe and northern Asia. 
Genus MEROLONCHE Grote 
For a full account of the three species contained in this 
genus the student is referred to the Proceedings of the United 
States National Museum, Vol. XXI, p. 179. 
(1) Merolonche lupini Grote, Plate XVIII, Fig. 7, $ . (The 
Lupine Dagger.) 
Like all the species of this genus the Lupine Dagger is an 
inhabitant of the Pacific States. Good specimens are rare in 
collections. 
Genus HARRISIMEMNA Grote 
Only one species of this genus is thus far known. 
(1) Harrisimemna trisignata Walker, Plate XIX, Fig. 4, 9 . 
(Harris’s Three-spot.)
