ous with the front. Wings pale cinereous, with two fine, basal, black 

 parallel lines, bent on the costa ; a broad, mesial band, deep black on 

 the edges, consisting of four bands, the outer ones heaviest, and 

 shaded diffusely within with black, two-thirds as wide on the inner 

 edge as on the costa ; a faint discal streak ; the outer line of this 

 broad band is very black, straight on the costa ; on the first median 

 vein it has a large acute tooth, of which the lower side is nearly con- 

 tinuous Avith the course of the band. On the costa, one-half way be- 

 tween this band and the apex, is a square, dark spot, margined with 

 white externally, which is the beginning of a white zigzag line, con- 

 tinued to the inner edge of the wing. Beyond, the edge of the wing 

 is dusky, with a marginal row of geminate internervular fine black 

 dots ; fringe dusky at base, paler on the outer half. Hind wings with 

 no discal dot ; two outer zigzag dark lines parallel with the dusky 

 edge of the wing, and a row of geminate black dots and fringe, as on 

 the primaries. 



Beneath, pale, with a luteous tinge ; on the basal fourth of the 

 costa is a conspicuous black spot ; a mesial curved linear costal line, 

 beyond is a sinuate black line, most distinct on the costa. Outer 

 edge of the wing dusky, fringe as above. Discal dots distinct on both 

 wings. An outer curved sinuate line, especially marked on the vein- 

 lets. Fringe paler than on the fore wings. Abdomen pale ashen 

 with a dorsal row of black geminate dots. 



Length .53 ; fore wing .43 inch. 



August 2. Caribou Island, Labrador. 



This species may be easily recognized by its minutely pectinated 

 antennas, each branch of which ends in a slight tuft of long cilias ; by 

 the long dark palpi, paler at tip, the broad, mesial band, both black 

 on the outer and inner edges, and not narrowing on the inner edge 

 so much as usual ; by the broad dusky patch between this and the 

 apex, margined externally by a white line, and by the hind wings 

 having two distinct waved lines on the outer half, and alo by the 

 very distinct double row of black abdominal spots. 



Cidaria strigata n. xp. 



Like the one preceding, this species has short, broad wings, not so 

 acutely pointed as in the typical species, but the palpi are long and 

 slender, much as usual. 



S . Antennae with unusually large pectinations, dark, concolor- 

 ous with the front and the palpi, which are long and slender, espe- 

 cially the third joint. Fore wings with two basal lines, a broad, black 

 band, contracting greatly just before the hind edge, where it is about 

 one-third as broad as on the costa ; a broad, mesial tooth on the outer
