no. 1645. REVISION OF CERTAIN NOCTUIDJE— SMITH. 261 



smoky, a little paler than primaries, with two diffuse transverse 

 smoky lines just within middle, and a more or less obviously double 

 extra-median line, the space between which may be darkened to form 

 a band. A smoky terminal line following the irregularities of the 

 wing margin, and lunate whitish spots marking the indentations. 

 Beneath much paler, more yellowish-brown, with t. a., t. p., and s. 

 t. lines and a discal spot more or less obvious on all wings; the 

 space between the outer lines sometimes a little darker so as to form 

 a band. 



Expands, 1.25-1.50 inches=31-38 mm. 



Habitat. — Washington, District of Columbia, June and August; 

 Tryon, North Carolina, August, Fiske collection; Maine. 



Types.— U.S.N.M., Coll. No. 12027 ; also Rutgers College collection. 



Two males and 6 females. The specimens from District of Colum- 

 bia and North Carolina are from the U. S. National Museum, and 

 one male bears a label " Larva found feeding on Pine, Imago iss. 

 June 19, 82." 



There is very little difference between the sexes in the material 

 under examination; but there is a little gray powdering beyond the 

 s. t. line which ma}^ become more marked at times. As for the rest, 

 it is merely a matter of more or less obscurity in maculation. 



The spinulation of the middle tibia is scant and not readily demon- 

 strated in the heavy vestiture. In the male, the femoral tufting is 

 not prominent and the mass of specialized scales is not large. 



The genitalia of the male do not differ in any material point from 

 those of duplicata. 



In the female the impressions on the upper surface of the anal 

 segments are obvious, and tend to become discolored. On the lower 

 surface the lobes are distinctly asymmetrical and are relatively 

 small, compared with the size of the opening to the copulatory 

 pouch. The latter is at the upper inner angle of the right lobe, and 

 entirely on the upper margin. 



As a whole this is a well marked form, differing from all others 

 by its elevated rough vestiture and absence of all sharply defined 

 maculation.
