HADENA RELECINA Morrison. 



No specimens; one from Mr. Cockle's collection, September 19. 



POLIA EPICHYSIS Grote. 



Two specimens, August 16, IS, and one from Mr. Cockle's collection, 

 September 1, 1902. I now regard this as a distinct species from 



t/u'0<7o?'i Grote. 



FOLIA SANSAR Strecker. 



One specimen, August 6, which 1 refer here with some hesitation. 

 Strecker described the markings as brown, while mine are black. My 

 specimen is like j>ul'veruletita Smith, but less powdery, a smooth bluish 

 gray. 



HYPPA XYLINOIDES Guen6e. 



Six specimens, June 13, 25, July 17, August 5, 7. The moths are a 

 little darker and gra3'er than eastern specimens, with rather less of the 

 brownish shading, while the larvae are a little lighter than eastern 

 larvte, more yellowish; but I think there is no specitic difference. The 

 male antenna? have the pectinations as in eastern specimens.
