Resembles the European Dianthcecia Cuciiballi. One of the 

 prettiest of our Eastern species. The t. p. line is scalloped and 

 rather strongly projected opposite the cell. Darker than the 

 European species, and differing considerably in detail. 



Ufeus Sagittarius, n. s. 



Red brown, with a slight mixture of pale scales. No lines 

 on primaries. On the cell a pale yellowish streak, which joins 

 the curved, similarly colored, linear, bow-shaped reniform. Hind 

 wings pale, concolorous, yellowish fuscous ; beneath with a thick 

 trigonate black discal mark. The reddish fringes of primaries 

 finely cut with pale.

Coll. 3- Neumoegen, Esq. California. 



This new species is very simply marked. The wings beneath 

 are pale, discolorous, and are notable from the want of discal 

 mark on fore wings, and the presence of the thick spot on hind 

 wings. Head and thorax concolorous with primaries, 



Trichorthosia. n. g. 



Eyes hairy, lashed. Thorax untufted. Vestiture hairy, 

 loose. Fore tibiae unarmed; middle and hind tibiae spinose. 

 Palpi rather short, third joint conical. Tongue rather weak. 

 Abdomen untufted. Fore wings with straight costal and full 

 outer margin ; apices sharp. Allied to Xanthia in shape of wings ; 

 differs from all the genera allied to Orthosia by its structure. 



Trichorthosia Parallela. n. s. 



Ochrey olive ; terminal field white-shaded, contrasting, lim- 

 ited inwardly by the rigid, double, sub-terminal line, its inner 

 component line thicker and not continued at apices. Reniform 

 red-stained with inferior black dots; orbicular a dark dot. Ordin- 

 ary lines double, faint. Hind wings fuscous, with pale fringes.

Orthodes nitens. n. s. 



$ ?. Silky reddish-brown, the male smaller and brighter- 

 colored. The lines marked by double lines on costa, hardly to be 

 made out, except in certain lights. Subterminal line a tolerably 

 distinct succession of black points. Reniform small, white, con- 

 trasting, lying partly in the evident black angulated median shade. 

 Fringe a little darker than the wing. Thorax concolorous. Hind 

 wings and abdomen fuscous ; fringe somewhat reddish. Beneath
