tion, but I have not seen it. I believe that Guenee's types col- 

 lected by Doubleday will all be found there. 



Nonagria Enervata Noct. I. 105. " 30 mil. Habit of Ncu- 

 rica, but more oblong. Fore wings entirely of a shining, blackish 

 gray-brown ; without spots or any distinctive shade on the veins. 

 Only at the extremity of the cell are two superposed blackish 

 points, hardly noticeable, and some terminal dots. Hind wings 

 dark ashen, concolorous. Beneath, the four wings of the same 

 concolorous shade. A single male from Florida ; collection of 

 Mr. Doubleday." 



Nonagria Fodiens. id. loc. 



" Habit of Neurica, but more oblong. Fore wings with 

 nearly parallel margins of a gray-brown ; the median vein and 

 base of sub-median largely powdered with blackish. Traces of 

 the extra-basal (t. a.) line. A double series of dots continued 

 to the margins in the place of the elbowed (t. p.) line (the first 

 series being the line itself, which is interrupted and hardly marked). 

 A black spot divided in two in the place of the reniform. Tips 

 of the nervules forming darker rays and an inter-nervular series 

 of terminal points. Hind wings dirty white, with a vague line 

 and lunule beneath in the female. Florida collection of Mr. 

 Doubleday. A single specimen ( ?). Abdomen terminated by a 

 corneous piece, divided in two flattened blades, twisted beneath 

 and bearing hairy or silky tufts." 



Nonagria Laeta. Mom, Bost. Proc, Oct., 1875. 



" Exp., 37 mil. Length of body, 23 mil. Eyes naked. Front 

 with a sharp, horny protection covered with hair. Abdomen ex- 

 tremely long, with a pointed anal tuft, which conceals the long, 

 curved ovipositor of the female. All the head and body parts 

 concolorous with the wings. Anterior wings brown, with a few 

 longitudinal yellowish scales; all the veins dark, purple brown, 

 contrasting; a blackish, diffuse discal spot; fringe concolorous, 

 having a darker shading at the base. Posterior wings gray-brown, 

 lighter and yellowish at base ; fringe yellow. Beneath, brownish 

 yellow ; central portion of the anterior wings blackish ; discal 

 dots present. New Jersey. From the collection of Mr. Herman 

 Sachs." 



Mr. Morrison compares this with Enervata ; it is like Fodiens 

 in the structure of the ovipositor. I have not seen the type. I 

 have bred examples of the European Typhce and Geminipunctay 

 Hatchett, for comparison. 



Nonagria Subflava. n. s. 



?. Eyes naked. Clypeus horned. Dusky yellow or bufT. 

 Median vein smeared with black. A single row of distinct black 

 dots on the veins in the place of the t. p. line, obsolete on costa. 

 Stigmata vaguely indicated by paler shades. Nervules paler than 

 the wing, terminally accompanied by blackish shadings. Fringe 

 concolorous. Hind wings, yellowish whitish; no marks. Beneath
