KANSAS ACADEMY OF SCIENCE. 47 



Wings rather long and narrow, entire, subdiaphanous. In placing it among 

 the Arctians, I have probably not found its best place. Cell in primaries 

 closed. Veins 3-5 arising near together. 



Alexicles aspersa n. s.- 



Male: Blackish fuscous, concolorous, subtransparent. The veins in pri- 

 maries curiously marked with fine white streaks. No other markings, except 

 that at end of cell is a black cloud, and subterminally there are some vague 

 darker spots. A scarlet rim behind the eyes; anal tuft slight, with central 

 scarlet hairs above; legs inwardly somewhat reddish. Expanse 32 mil. No. 

 916. New Mexico. 



Telea Polyphemus var. Oculea Neumoegen. 



This fine variety, described by Mr. Neumoegen from female specimens 

 taken in Arizona, differs from the type form of the species by an inner blue 

 line and black ring and cloud surrounding the ocelli on primaries, so that 

 they resemble the ocelli on secondaries in appearance. Professor Snow's 

 specimen has the black shading reduced to a black ring. 



Hyperchiria zephyria Grote. 



The male Hyperchiria zephyria expands 72 mil.; the thorax and fore wings 

 are olive-blackish, and the white spots at insertion of primaries distinct. A 

 white oblique stripe from apex to middle of internal margin. Hind wings 

 with pink hair along inner margin; the disc vivid yellow, bounded by 

 a rounded black line, and containing the large black ocellus with central 

 white streak and some blue scales. Terminal field pale fuscous, with a darker 

 clouded shade line. Abdomen all pink above. Beneath, the wings are discol- 

 orlous, pale fuscous, with a black, rounded spot on disc, with central white 

 point, the latter repeated. only on hind wings. Head dark ; body and legs like 

 hind wings beneath; antennre, yellowish-testaceous pectinate. With its con- 

 gener H. pamina and Argyauges Neumoegeni, this is one of the most notable 

 additions to the catalogue of recent discoveries in the United States. 



Agrotis atrifroxs Grote. 



This species may be known by the black mesial lines, the only marks on 



the brown shaded primaries, and by the black front ; the s. t. line sometimes 



feebly marked in pale, also the median shade. No. 927. Professor Snow; 



New Mexico. 



Agrotis terrealis n. s. 



Male and female: Very dark blackish-brown; allied to Fennica and 

 Turris. Costa bright brown from base to middle. Stigmata moderate, con- 

 colorlous, set in a blackish shade. A submedian black streak at base, before 

 the long black claviform. Lines obsolete; t. a. line marked inferiorly. 

 Hind wings blackish fuscous, with interlined white-tipped fringes. Beneath 

 unlined, fuscous, with discal mark on hind wings. Expanse 36 mil. No. 936.
