fragments of a diffuse median fascia. Secondaries darker, some- 

 what fuscous, with dot. Beneath concolorous pale warm ochrey ; 

 the secondaries with discal point. A most singular insect. From 

 memory of the Texan example I refer it to Dr. Harvey's genus. 

 It may be that other examples will show more markings, as my 

 type is not very fresh, though perfect. Expanse, 30 mil. Arizona.

Caradrina Fragosa. n. s. 



Slender bodied, in color paler, more brown than Miranda ; 

 the forewings are of a powdery pale ochrey-brown mingled with 

 fuscous, becoming completely fuscous terminally. There are 

 three dark vague costal marks, indicating the lines and median 

 shade ; t. p. line single, fragmentary; denticulate : t. a. line a vague 

 shade. Orbicular and reniform minute with central white scales. 

 Hind wings pale smoky, with pale fringes. Beneath pale smoky, 

 without markings. Front pale ; second joint of palpi dark at the 

 side. Antennae simple ; eyes naked. 



T.^NIOCAMPA ViRGULA. n. S. 



This species is allied to Agrotiformis, with a slender body 

 and untufted abdomen. It may be known by a black streak cross- 

 ing subterminal field opposite the cell beyond the small pale ren- 

 iform. General color of various shades of brown. Stigmata 

 small ; orbicular with central point, concolorous ; reniform paler 

 than the wing. No claviform. Lines single, fragmentary, black- 

 ish ; s. t. line dark, upright; the terminal field following it is 

 paler than rest of wing ; s. t. Ime preceded by dark marks, opposite 

 all of which one (above noted) forms a streak. Hindwings fus- 

 cous, with pale ochrey fringes ; beneath paler, with line and dis- 

 cal dot. Head and thorax reddish brown, like primaries. Fore 

 wings, above the veins, on subterminal field, arc marked with 

 blackish ; the t. a. line is accented by following dark dots, den- 

 tate, and looks double ; t. p. line waved. Antennae simple. 

 Expanse, 25 mil. Arizona. 



Agrotis Texana. Grote, Proc. Ent. Soc. Phil., Vol. II., 



PI. VI., Fig. 2, (1863.) 



A female specimen of this species is contained in Mr. Neu- 

 moegen's collection from Arizona. It expands 38 mil., and is less 

 distinctly marked than my figure, but the example is not quite 

 fresh. It seems to me a good species, allied to the common 

 Ypsilon and Sancia, but of a much lighter ochery fuscous color. 

 It is strange that I have seen so (qw specimens of this species since 

 I described and figured it twenty years ago. 



Trichopolia. n. g. 



Eyes hairy, lashed ; tibiae unarmed. Male antennae simple, 

 or finely bipectinate tapering to tips. Abdomen exceeding hind 

 wings, with reduced basal tuft Thorax hairy without defined 

 tufts. Form like Heterocanipa. Hind wings white or whitish in 

 both sexes without sub-apical sulcation. Wings entire, straight
