these are distinctive. I have other, yet undescribed species of this 

 genus, but prefer to hold them for better, more abundant material. 



Scotogramma albinuda, sp. nov. 



Ground color dark ashen gray, tending to smokj'. Head and thorax concolorous, 

 vestifure thin, loose, hairy, divergent. Primaries with the ordinary lines single, 

 smoky, diffuse, not contrasting. Hasal line very close to the root of the wing, in- 

 wardly bent on the subcostal. T. a. line upright as a whole, irregular, strongly out- 

 curved in the subniedian interspace. T. p. line lunulate, almost crenulate, broadly 

 outcurved over the cell, rather deeply incurved in the subniedian interspace. S. t. 

 line is indicated by a dark preceding shade which is obvious on the costa, but gradu- 

 ally lost toward the hind margin : a few paler scales may or may not emphasize this 

 line. A series of terminal dark lunules resembling a broken terminal line. Fringes 

 with a pale interline, very narrowly cut with white on the veins. A smoky median 

 shade is obvious on the costa, extending over and darkening the reniform, and it may 

 or may not be faintly traceable to the inner margin. Orbicular concolorous, barely 

 traceable, round, moderate in size. Reniform rather small, dark, broadly lunate 

 rather than kidney-shaped. Secondaries deep smoky brown, with an obvious dark 

 median shade, followed by a vague yellowish band, and a large blackish discal spot ; 

 fringes pale. Beneath whitish or smoky, powdery, with a common extra-median shade 

 band and a large discal spot ; primaries with an obvious s. t. shade band. Expands 

 1. 28-1. 32 inches 1- 32-33 mm. 



Habitat: Rama, Labrador, 1900, A. Stecker, J. D. Sornborger. 



Three females in fair condition from the Museum of Comparative 

 Zo51ogy, through the courtesy of Mr. Henshaw. The species is allied 

 to uniformis Sm., but is somewhat better marked throughout, the color 

 being also more ashen gray. The dusky shade band across the sec- 

 ondaries, followed by a diffuse pale shade is characteristic and readily 

 identifies the species. 



Nephelodes tertialis, sp. nov. 



Ground color rusty red-brown varying to purplish or toward a somewhat luteous 

 shading. Head and thorax concolorous, the former usually a little lighter than the 

 thorax. Antenna of $ well pectinated ; of 9 entirely simple. Primaries with fairly 

 distinct maculation, the median space darker than the rest of the wing and thus de- 

 fining the median lines which are not otherwise contrasting. Basal line wanting or 

 marked only by costal dots. T. a. line geminate, the inner line vague, included 

 space a little paler ; as a whole a little outwardly oblique and a very little outcurved 

 in the interspaces. T. p. line geminate, the outer line even, very little relieved, inner 

 line forming the sharp border of the dark median space, included space a little paler. 

 S. t. line very narrow, irregular, a little paler than ground, sometimes emphasized by 

 a somewhat darker preceding shade, sometimes almost obsolete. A narrow darker 

 line at the base of the fringes. Orbicular large, round, of the pale ground, without 

 defining line. Reniform large, somewhat kidney-shaped, of the pale ground, the 

 outer portion sometimes relieved by a few yellowish scales. Claviform very small and 

 only feebly defined. Secondaries smoky, yellowish at base, variable in tint, the
