apical minute pale costal dots. Fringes interrupted with whitish on both 

 wings, short. Secondaries deep blackish, with black discal dot apparent. Be- 

 neath paler, dusted with pale scales, without markings, except terminal lines 

 as on upper surface and discal marks. Expanse, 30 m. m. 



Habitat. — Pennsylvania. 



Differs from Hypena ioreuta at first sight by the absence of the pale 

 patch on internal margin. 



Hypena profeeta, Grote.— %. — A large species with the costa of prima- 

 ries depressed. Blackish brown with a very faint purplish lustre. Median 

 space the darkest, denned by the darker shaded, nearly perpendicular, waved 

 or uneven median lines faintly relieved by pale scales. Subterminal lines 

 faint. Fringe on both wings blackish; secondaries concolorous, without marks. 

 Beneath a little paler with shaded discal dot and diffuse common exterior line. 

 Body concolorous ; antennae somewhat pale. Expanse, 35 m. m. 



Habitat. — Pennsylvania; agrees with H. deceptalis in the shape 

 of the wings, but an obscurely marked species with diffuse shaded 

 lines. 



Hypena deceptalis. Walker. — % £. — Blackish brown. Wings wide; 

 costa depressed; apices produced. Fore wings with two distinct continued 

 even propinquitous sub-parallel pale or white median lines; the t. a. slightly 

 angulated at costa and again less evidently at vein 1 ; the t. p. line a little bent 

 on m. nervules opposite the cell ; an indistinct subterminal series of darker 

 shadings. Median space darker than the wing elsewhere, tolerably narrow ; 

 ordinary spots obsolete. Hind wings unicolorous, a little paler than primaries : 

 beneath both wings paler than above. Body colored as wings; antennae tes- 

 taceous. Expanse, 32 to 38 m. m. 



Habitat. — West Virginia, Canada (the small specimens) " No. 625." 



DESDERATA: 

 Hypena ediotalis, Walker. 

 " A large species with marbled primaries." 



Hypena danmosalis, Walker. 



"Related to H. edictalis; the outer line is pale margined, regularly 

 scalloped." 



TORTRICODES, Guenee. 



Of a single species inhabiting our Territory I have specimens 

 before me which are apparently all males. These are characterized 

 by an extraordinary semicircular deep cut in the external margin at 

 about the middle and which divides the primary wing into two lobes. 

 The parts are not widely separated and the edges are fringed, so that
