three or four preceding black points opposite the cell ; the median 

 space darker than rest of wing, the median lines and stigmata 

 illegible ; the reniform stained and blackish ; claviform outlined. 

 Lines marked by double costal streaks, with paler enclosed shades. 

 T. p. followed by minute points ; fringe a little darker. This 

 may be a color variety of the Californian species, as I have seen 

 some Californian specimens varying In this direction, but I prefer 

 to register it as distinct for the present, not being willing that 

 what may be different species should be labeled Rufula. Perforata 

 is concolorous, grey-fuscous, smooth. Hind wings pale at base> 

 with pale fringes and soiled veins. Beneath paler grey, irrorate, 

 with dark denticulate common line ; suffused discal shade on fore 

 wings and blackish discal point on Kind wings. Arizona. Ex- 

 panse 29 to 30 mil. 



Caradrina Civica, n. s. 



$. This species I have known for a long time, and in vain 

 searched for a description to fit it. A name for it may be found 

 in B. Mus. (where it is, I think, unnamed in my coll.), but I have 

 not noticed it. Allied to Multifaria, but of an ochrey and paler 

 gray. The black costal dots evident at inception of the single 

 faint uneven transverse lines and median shade. Subterminal 

 line preceded by a rufous shade from below costal region. Ter- 

 minal space dark. Hind wings translucent white, with narrow 

 smoky edge, and extremities of veins soiled beneath, with costa 

 ochrey gray terminal dots and a discal dot. Fore wings beneath 

 ochrey gray ; a discal fuscous shade and lunate mark ; an extra 

 mesial band ; terminal field fuscous-shaded. Head and thorax 

 ochrey gray; abdomen pale. Expanse, 30 mil. Colorado (Snow, 

 green label, 34). 



LiTHOPHANE PeXATA. var. WaSHINGTONIA. 



Resembles the European Ingrica still more than the Eastern 

 Pexata, but may be ;i distinct species from either. Thorax and 

 abdominal tufts black. The former with white lateral patches. 

 Fore wings black, with a yellow basal streak surmounting a longer 

 and finer longitudinal velvety-black hair-streak. Lines faint^ 

 double. Reniform very large, stained with brown ; orbicular, 

 with a slight pale edging to its circlet. Sub-terminal line rusty- 

 black, relieved by a paler ground ; a pale yellow mark above anal 

 angle. Hind wings fuscous, with pale fringes. Beneath with a 

 diffuse extra-mesial band and discal mark, the ground paler, 

 stained with brown ; forewings darker. Abdominal tufts at ex 

 tremity brownish. Expanse 42 mil, Washington Territory. 



Orthosia Citima. n. s. 



Near to Conradi; fuscous-ochrey. Reniform constricted, 

 long, sub-lunate, with powdery-white scales lining the ring and 

 dark centred ; claviform small ; orbicular oblique, moderate, dark- 

 centred, with powdery-white annulus. Middle of the wing ochrey ; 

 terminal field dark. Median shade oblique, apparent below ;
