marks ; internal margin clothed with coarse hair. Beneath, the hind wings 
show a discal ovate blackish spot about the cross vein, and a very faint 
tracing of a subterminal band. 
Hapanse, 45m. m. Habitat, Canada (coll. Wm. Saunders, Feb- 
ruary); Albany, N. Y. (coll. J. A. Lintner, 7/,,). 
Ufeus plicatus, Grote. 
é.—Smaller than U. satyricus. Body of the same flattened shape and 
color but the fore wings show a uniform, warm, faintly reddish tinge. TT. 
a. line broken. Along the cell, above the median vein, is an interrupted black 
streak. Transverse posterior line black, comparatively very distinct, running 
outwardly and downwardly obliquely from costa, much and roundedly exerted 
opposite the cell and offering a distinguishing character by its course as com- 
pared with that of U. satyricus. It appears interspaceally lunulate from a 
short extension of the black scales upon the veins beyond the line. A series of 
fainter blackish interspaceal terminal streaks. All the markings are deter- 
minate, not reflected. Hind wings dull testaceous above, and, with the upper 
wings, beneath, absolutely without marks or lines of any kind. 
Eepanse 40 m.m. Habitat, Philadelphia. 
I cannot regard these as sexes of the same species owing to the 
difference in the course and appearance of the transverse posterior 
line. These two species cannot be referred to Mythimna, which is 
restricted by Lederer to the European M. imbecilla. Apparently 
Mr. Walker’s extension of the term to include Guenée’s Leucania 
pseudargyria, ete., should not be followed. 
Mamestra imbrifera.

Hurois purpurissata, Grote.
