Lita, u. g. 



Form of Syneda, differing by the lashed and naked eyes being constricted 

 and the male antennae being furnished with a thick cilial fringing. The head 

 is more sunken and the vestiture more hairy than in Syneda. 



Lit.*! sexsig^nataj n. s. 



Primaries blackish, with Syneda-Vike, markings. Two whitish incomplete 

 fasciae, the first on the median space anteriorly, inconspicuous, and some- 

 times obsolete, the second beyond the reniform. Beneath the fasciae are more 

 distinct, the outer continued to internal margin. Hind wings black, with 

 three spots on either surface, above light sulphur yellow, beneath white ; the 

 upper spot on the disc the larger, the lower two are situate opposite each 

 other near external margin before the angle, fringes black, touched with white. 

 Body hairs blackish, beneath mixed with pale ; anal hairs yellowish white. 



Expanse, 37-32 m. m.

Bolina Juctinda, Ehbner. 



Specimens sent by Mr. Bclfrage from Texas are better marked 

 than material from Alabama in the Collection which corresponds 

 Avith Gnenee's description of cinis. I think the species admits of 

 both forms, while the Texan specimens better agree with Hiibner's 

 fio'ure.

Bolina agTotipeiiuis, n. s. 



Stouter than jMcwnfZa; the fore wings are of the obscure yellow fuscous tint 

 that characterizes some specimens of Agrotis saucia, and have inconspicuous 

 markings. The median space is palest ; the subterniinal line is indicatetl on 

 costa, wliere it is pale, geminate and preceded by two cuneiform black 

 marks. The median lines are badly defined ; a black stain marks the reni- 

 form. The terminal festooned line is obvious, and is repeated on the fringes 

 which are fuscous, touched with white at internal angle. Hind wings largely 

 black, white at base; the marginal antennal white fleck inconsi)icuous, fringes 

 white, touched witli fuscous. 



Exjjanse, 45 m. m. Texas (Bclfrage). 



Eiibolina, n. s. 



Differs from Bolina by the lengthily ciliate male antennae. The frontal 

 squamae are gathered into a pointed tuft. The palpi are shorter, not curved 

 upwards, but extended straightly forwards, the second joint not exceeding the
