Oltviously distinct, from the described species by the black secon- 
daries with contrasting yellow fringes. The clypeal structure is a 
cup-shaped depression, from which rises a cylindrical projection also 
cupped at tip. Specimens taken by Mr. Meeske are in the collections 
of Neumoegen and Hulst. 
ACJROTirHII.A Grt. 
This genus was proposed by Mr. Grote (Ann. Lyc. 1875, xi, 107) 
for Mr. Morrison’s Agrotis montuna, and the genus is, in my opinion, 
a good one, diflering from Agrotis in the narrow, reniform eyes, the 
retracted head and anartijorm habitus. To this must come FacJmobia 
alaske Grt., of which there is a specimen in the U. S. Museum, 
easily recognizable by the discolorous claviform. 
Among the species never recognized by Mr. Grote is Moeschler’s 
Agrotis stanclingeri (Wien. Eut. Monatsch. vi, 132, pi. 1, fig. 4, May, 
1862). To the courtesy of Mr. Moeschler I owed a chance to ex- 
amine his type, and found it to be in all respects like Morrison s 
species. The figure is accurate, and there is no doubt at all that 
staudingeri must replace montana in the lists. 
INIorrison described his species from Colorado, July 22d to August 
12th, 12,000 feet. Afterward the species was received from Mt. 
Washington, and Labrador is now added to the distribution. In 
the collections made by Mr. Bruce there is a species which I at first 
considered the same as that described by Morrison, but which offers 
a number of constant points of difference, which I think justify a 
new species fully congeneric with staudingeri. 
Agrotipliila. colora*lo n. sp. — Ground color of head, thorax and prima- 
ries an olivaceous luteous, or ocherous brown, the variation being quite consid- 
erable. Front with a strong admixture of white hair, forming a white margin 
to the eyes. Collar black centred with a whitish basal and terminal margin. 
Patagife white margined. Abdomen blackish, wdth fine w-hite or pale yellow 
hair. Basal line black, single, outwardly margined with white. A curved black 
streak crossing the basal space on the internal vein, margined above with white, 
and this with the white inner margin to the t. a. line makes a quadrate space at 
base, the angles all extended. T. a. line incurved, the lower curve long and 
reaching nearly to the middle of the inner margin. T. p. line with an even 
outcurve, nearly parallel with outer margin ; inner line composed of connected, 
black lunules, outer Hue a broad whitish shade. S. t. line white, ditluse, pre-
