tween tlio species in the ornaniPntation and color, but everywhciro the gray 

 shades of L. Ilenrici are here obsolete, and the olivaceous tints on the primaries 

 are wanting in L. evanida, in which the interspaceal shadings are simply ochre- 

 ous. The fore wings are almost entirely pale ochreous, with the whitish veins 

 and shadings less obvious and contrasting. The internal margin is ochreous in 

 the present species while it is gray in L. Ilenrici. The labial palpi are shorter 

 and do not so prominently exceed the front in L. evanida, which is the slighter 

 of the two and but little exceeds the European L. pallens in size. Our 

 species wants all dots or marks whatever on the primaries above. The fringes 

 are immaculate. 



Expanse, 1.45 inch. Iliibitat, Vuivi^va Co., N. Y. 



A single specimen has been taken by the late Mr. C. T. Robinson 

 at Brewster's. 



Caradrina miranda, Grote. 



S . — This is a slight species with narrow, glossy blackish primaries, their cos- 

 tal and internal margins straight. All markings are obliterate and hardly to 

 be discerned. The ordinary lines are divaricate ; the subterminal line is obso- 

 lete, indicated by very faint pale dots and preceding dashes. An obscure dark 

 dot marks the orbicular ; a pale dot on the cross vein preceded by a dark 

 streak, the reniform. The wing and fringes are concolorous and in some 

 lights there is nothing to disturb their unicolorous appearance. Thorax 

 above a little darker ; abdomen and under surface of body and the legs a little 

 paler than primaries. Hind wings pellucid whitish, clouded with blackish 

 along the external and costal margins, without discal mark, with an attenuate 

 marginal line. ' Beneath both pair whitish ; the fore wings are largely black- 

 ish superiorly and along external margin. The costal region of the hind 

 wings is broadly, evenly and well definedly blackish. 



Expanse, .90 to 1.00 inch. Hahitat, New York State. 



This species of which several specimens are contained in the 

 collection of this Society, is pyraliform in appearance, reminding ns 

 somewhat of Aglossa. It appears to bear a certain resemblance to 

 the European C. palustris, Herrich-Schaeffer, fig. 292. It resembles 

 also generally, the figures 366 and 367 of the same Author.
