Hadena eve /in a, by the bye, must also be placed as a Fishia 

 though the spinulation of the middle and hind tibi;e is so obscure as 

 to be readily overlooked except on the closest examination. In fact 

 it was not until I had seen the spines in vine/a that I discovered them 

 sparsely hidden also in the vestiture of evelina, this difference in 

 armature affording another point of distinction between them. 

 Anytus tenuilinea, sp. nov. 



Ground color very pale ashen gray, giving the appearance of an Acroiiycia. Head 

 rusty brown below a dusky, transverse frontal line, somewhat smoky on the vertex. 

 Collar with a black transverse line ; disc of thorax smoky, patagia with a powdery 

 blackish submargin. Primaries with the marking neatly and clearly written. A line of 

 black scales indicates a narrow basal streak. T. a. line single, black, outwardly oblique, 

 outcurved between the veins, that in the submedian interspace drawn into a tooth from 

 which a slender black streak extends to the t. p. line. T. p. line geminate, the outer 

 part a mere smoky shade line, the inner slender, black, lunulate, forming a long out- 

 curve under the cell and a deep incurve in the submedian interspace to meet the streak 

 from the t. a. line. The s. t. line is vague and indicated by differences in shade be- 

 tween the s. t. and terminal spaces and by a series of darker elongate spots in the 

 interspaces. A series of black terminal lunules, beyond which the fringes are cut 

 with brown. All the veins are marked with black scales. Orbicular large, oval, 

 oblique, inferiorly a little drawn out, paler than the surroundings, not otherwise de- 

 fined. Reniform of moderate size, kidney-shaped, defined by black scales within 

 which there is an incomplete whitish ring. Secondaries smoky, paler at base within 

 a vague median shade line ; the fringes whitish beyond a dark, broken terminal line. 

 Beneath, primaries smoky, with a vague discal lunule and median line ; secondaries 

 paler, more ashen, median shade and discal dot better marked. Expands 1. 50 

 inches ^ 37 mm. 



Habitat: Stockton, Utah. 



One good female from Mr. George Franck. The species appears 

 to be somewhat narrower-winged than the others and differs from all 

 those previously described by the slender clean-cut markings on a pale 

 ground, which give it a deceptive Acronycta'XxV^ appearance. 



Euxoa* nesilens, sp. nov. 



Ground color a pale yellowish-gray, maculation of a deeper, luteous or smoky 

 gray. Head a little smoky on the vertex, palpi smoky at the sides. Collar with a 

 transverse, smoky median shading, which tends to become a line. Thorax con- 

 colorous. Primaries without conspicuous contrasts or shadings; yet all the markings 

 evident, just enough darker than the ground to make them readily recognizable. 

 Costal area a little paler. No basal streak. Basal line geminate, marked on costa 

 and median vein only. T. a. line geminate, nearly upright, a little outcurved in the 

 interspaces,, tending to become broken and to the loss of the inner portion. T. p. 

 line crenulate, single or with the outer portion obscurely marked, rather abruptly bent
