and rather close to t. p. liue, darkeuiug the median space beyond, to the 

 t. p. line. S. t. space becoming gradually darker to the s. t. Hue, \Yhich 

 is defined and limited only by the contrast of this dark shade against 

 the concolorous terminal space. A row of black terminal lunules. A 

 black longitudinal dash at base extending to t. a. line. Claviform 

 wanting. Orbicular concolorous, black ringed, elongate, the ends 

 drawn out, the one reaching the t. a. line, the other to the reniform, 

 which is narrow, lunate, incompletely defined, darkened by the trans- 

 verse median shade. Secondaries white, veins a trifle soiled, and with 

 a dirty indefinitely marked outer border. Beneath, primaries fuscous, 

 l)Owdery, pale costally where the outer transverse line is visible ; sec- 

 ondaries paler, more powdery, with outer line marked across costal 

 space only ; a distinct discal spot.

A very handsome species, of which 1 have seen only a single speci- 

 men from Mr. Neumoegen's collection. 



Setagiotis congrua SiiiitL. 

 1889. Smith, Trans. Am. Ent. Soc, xvii, 43, Agrotis. 



Ashen gray, palpi dark at the sides; collar with a narrow, dark, 

 transverse line, above which is a series of white scales, the tip of collar 

 marked with a reddish, almost ferruginous shade. Thorax immaculate. 

 Primaries with a somewhat ferruginous sluade extending through the 

 middle of the wing into the s. t. space and tinting that si)ace nearly its 

 full length ; veins somewhat dark marked. Basal line marked on costa 

 only. T. a. line single, marked by a distinct costal spot, from which 

 the line is traceable through the cell, twice dentate in this course, then 

 not again visible, except as a curved mark below the internal vein. T. 

 p. line traceable for its entire length, single, not prominent, rather even, 

 with little outward spurs on the veins. S. t. line indefinite, paler, inter- 

 rupted, marked by the slight contrast between terminal and s. t. space 

 created by the rusty tinging of the latter. A row of dusky terminal 

 lunules ; no basal dash, no claviform. Orbicular elongate, black ringed, 

 connected with the reniform by a short spur line; reniform incomplete, 

 indefinite, the inner outline only defined. Secondaries whitish, glisten- 

 ing, with the veins dusky and with a faint discal lunule. Beneath 

 whitish, powdery, with a diffuse outer line ou each wing visible only 

 across the costal region.

A single male in good condition is before me; The species agrees 

 perfectly with plani/rons in the generic characters, and is closely allied 

 to that species in general type of maculation. There are so many dif- 

 ferential characters, however, that there is not the slightest danger of 

 confusing them.
