NORTH-AMERICAN N0CTUID.7E. 71 



Land narrow, abruptly discontinued at vein 2 ; a 

 small spot at anal angle. Beneath, both wings clear 

 yellowish, with narrow bands. This very distinct 

 species was first collected in Southern Texas by 

 Eriederich, after whom the species is named. My 

 types are in the Imperial Museum at Berlin. The 

 species was afterwards re-discovered by Belfrage.

45. Strenoloma LuuiHnea. 



This fine Moth has been found in Virginia, and 



also in Ohio, where Mr. Dury collected it about 



Cincinnati in some number. Professor Snow has 



also taken it in Kansas ; and my figure is drawn 



after a male specimen furnished by him. The Moth 



lias delicate dove-coloured grey wings ; the costal 



edge is marked by four distinct brown liturate 



spots, marking the inception of the subobsolete 



transverse lines. The collar is more brownish and 



darker than the body and wings. On the primaries 



the exterior margin is a little darker shaded, often 



in the males with a shade-spot about the middle. 



My original specimen was collected by Mr. Theo. 



L. Mead. The middle tibia^. are sparsely spinose.
