NORTH AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 45 



$. Tolnbilis Harv. 



A number of specimens of this species were in the collection, so 

 different from the general run of specimens that I applied the name 

 dentilinea to the form. Compared with ordinary specimens of the 

 eastern or western forms the maculation is much more distinct, the 

 colors brighter and the s. t. line very prominently dentate. It may 

 be that this form, which is also narrower winged than type forms of 

 vohibi/is, will eventually prove distinct, but I have no specimens at 

 hand sufficient to determine this at present ; stigmosa refers to the 

 same form as voluhilis. 



Agroti!^ satieiis sp. nov. — General color luteous gray, palpi browu at sides, 

 head and thorax else immaculate. Primaries black powdered, irrorate, tlie or- 

 dinary maculation confused and indefinite. Basal line black, interrupted, gemi- 

 nate, always marked on costa at least. T. a. line marked by a geminate black 

 costal dot and very indefinite below this, but as a whole outwardly oblique. T. 

 p. line geminate, inner line crenulate, not very well marked, outer line a series 

 of venular dots variably distinct; as a whole its course very even. Beyond its 

 middle the s. t. space begins to darken to the outer margin, the terminal space 

 being much darker than ground color, almost blackish ; through this dark space 

 the s. t. line is distinct as a series of larae pale spots not much paler than ordi- 

 nary ground color. A series of black terminal spots; a vague indication of a 

 basal dash. Claviform moderate, concolorous, black marked, but not completely 

 defined. Orbicular oval, elongate, quite variable in size, black marked, then 

 with a pale annulus, centre concolorous or very little darker than ground color. 

 Reniform large, kidney shaped, very indefinitely and quite incompletely 

 outlined; concolorous. In some specimens the cell is distinctly black before 

 orbicular and between that and the reniform. Secondaries in the % pearly 

 white, in the 9 darker, outwardly smoky, veins dark marked, fringes white. 

 Beneath white, with black powderings, without lines in the %, with an incom- 

 plete outer line and discal spot to all wings in the 9- Expands 1.38 — 1.52 in- 

 ches; 34 — 38 mm. 



Habitat.—^. W. British Columbia ; 1 S 2 9 9 . 



In all structural characters this insect is nearest to ohesula m., but 

 has not the plump, heavy look so striking in that species ; the ground 

 color here is paler and much more irregularly marked than in ohesula 

 where the dark atoms are regularly distributed. The antennae are 

 as in munemda rather than ohesula, the latter having them unusually 

 heavy. 



A. insertans sp. nov. — General color a rather sordid yellow. Head and 

 palpi immaculate, collar with a distinct black central line above which the color 

 is somewhat more dusky. Thorax with black scales intermixed, forming an 

 incomplete line margining the patagiffi. Primaries with the median lines prac- 

 tically obsolete, the t. a. line traceable only by a single loop below the claviform 

 and the t. p. line marked only by geminate costal dots. A basal black streak, to
