geminate costal dashes between the above and apex, the inner sends a 

 horizontal gray-metallic line to termen beneath apex, it nearly joins a 

 shorter leaden line from the outer dash. The costal daslies are narrowly 

 white on costal edge, each contains a small black costal dot, and between 

 each two the costal edge is narrowly black. Cilia brown at apex, gray in 

 middle of termen and whitish around tornus. 



Hind wing light smoky-gray, cilia whitish-gray, with a faint darker 

 basal line ; under side the same. Under side fore wing dark gray, costal 

 spots faintly repeated. 



The description is from a ^ specimen from Rounthwaite, Manitoba. 

 The New Hampshire specimens are smaller, and more of a dark browish- 

 hue inwardly and ochreous outwardly. Without a lens the Manitoba 

 specimens look almost black in the inner half 



Twenty-one specimens: Rounthwaite, Manitoba, July ii to 15, L. 

 E. Marmont j Aweme, Mr^nitoba, July 12 to 24, Norman Criddle ; Prince 

 Albert, Alberta, July 19, T. N. Willing; Regina, Assiniboine, July 15, 

 Dr. Jas. Fletcher; Hampton, New Hampshire, Aug. 5 to 10. 



This species is nearest P. f/iomonana, Kearf, it can be separated by 

 the ocellic spot, which in Marmontana has a well defined dark dot in its 

 upper half, also by the inner edge of the ocellus, which in Marmontana 

 is straight, while in motnonana it sends a spur into the dark fascia before it. 



I take pleasure in naming this interesting and well-distributed species 

 after Mr. L. E. Marmont, to whom I am indebted for a great many 

 beautifully-prepared specimens of Micro-Lepidoptera, 

 - Epinotia JVormafia?ia, sp. nov.

 middle of the inner half, with a black dot between latter and base and a 

 slight dusting of black between these lines on the dorsal half The costa, 

 from base to apex, is evenly marked with black dashes, the three before
