I (^, 111. This ma)' possibly be a case of melanism, but if so I am 

 iinalile to tell to which one of our common species this referred peculiar 

 lorm shciuld be.

 ovtrlaid with iuscous scales. Body lirown, or gray and dark gray ringed. Base of

■ 2 ^(^, I 9, Me. Named in honor of Mrs. C. H. Fernald of 

 Amherst, Mass., to whom I owe my first specimen of this insect, and to 

 whom 1 am grateful for other favors. The insect in its lines approaches 

 very near to B, crepuscularia, but the band is very distinctive. It may 

 possibly be an aberration or variety of that species. 



Boarmia floridaria, sp. nov. 



Expands 17 mm. Head, thorax, wings and abdomen, smoky blue-gray. Three 

 hne black lines cross the fore wings, all of them being bent and wavy. The basal is 

 strongly bent out near costa and inward near inner margin ; the second, which in- 

 cludes the discal spot, has a sharp bend at middle; the outer has two sharp bends 

 outwardly near middle. These lines are nearly equidistant from each other and sub- 

 parallel. Hinds wings with the two outer lines continued both bent, wavy, dentate. 

 Beneath, even smoky gray.

 VV. G. Wright who has helped very much to give a knowledge of the in-

 The insect looks mticli like a Lepiodes.
