11. Agrotis Fernaldi. 

 This fine Agrotis has been collected in Maine by 

 Professor C. H. Pernald, after whom the species is 

 named. It is, perhaps, nearer to Tmhalis than any 

 other Eastern form; the markings are bolder, and 

 the ground-colour more uniform and even. The 

 specimen figured is a typical one, received by me 

 from my good friend Professor Pernald.

This species has more pointed primaries, and is 

 more distinctly marked than some of the other 

 whitish Western species oi Agrotis. The veins are 

 inconspicuously marked in white. The distal stig- 

 mata are fused, the lines obliterate ; there is a hue 

 black basal dash extending into the long claviform 

 spot The hind wings are pure white in the male, 

 somewhat soiled in the opposite sex. This species, 

 kindly given by Mr. Hy. Edwards, was collected m 

 Arizona. My figure is taken from the female. In 

 the male the antenna? are brush-like, with the joints 

 prominent. All the tibi« are spinose.
