double, fine, black. Orbicular small, round, pale, with dark dot; a dash 

 connects it with the shadowy reniform. Transverse posterior line marked 

 by double costal black dots, else obsolete. Hind wings pale fuscous, veins 

 marked. Abdomen shaded with reddish ; thorax like fore wings. Beneath 

 whitish well-defined dots. Nos. 948 and 949. All the tibiae spinose. Allied 

 to piscipellis. 



Agroiis beata n. s. 



Delicate dark mouse- or pigeon-gray ; belongs to the anicla group. A black 

 velvety band or collar in front. Lines single, faint and narrow. Transverse 

 posterior line forming a single angle. Subterrainal line pale, preceded above 

 by a black shading, and followed by a narrow black shade. Median shade 

 diffuse, black. Fringes pink. Hind wings nearly white, smoky outwardly. 

 Beneath without lines or dots. Head and thorax gray, like primaries. Ab- 

 domen pale gray, somewhat reddish at tip and beneath. No. 929. A lovely 

 species. Expanse 36 millim. 



COPIMAMESTRA U. gen. 



This agrees with Mamedra, except that the fore tibise are armed with a 

 distinct large claw. Eyes hairy. Abdomen tufted. Tibiae unarmed. The 

 types are the European C. brassicce and the following new species: 



Copiviamestra ocddenta n. s. 



Darker and more blackish than brassicce. A greenish-white broad band 



before the subterminal line, continuous. Reniform greenish-white. A patch 



of the same color on subbasal field. Orbicular not well defined. Median 



lines black. Tegulse lined with black. Hind wings pale, shaded outwardly 



with blackish. Beneath, the discal spot on fore wings is pale with central 



dot. The whitish secondaries show a well-defined dot. Expanse 42 millim. 



No. 943. 



Grotella Dis n. s. 



This species seems a little larger than 7-punctata, with the dots obliterated 

 on the white primaries. Unlike the latter, the hind wings are black with white 

 fringes. Beneath also black, the white fringes on both wings strongly contrast- 

 ing. I have been disposed hitherto to regard this as a variety. One specimen 

 also in Mr. Neumoegen's collection from Arizona. Expanse 26 millim. New 

 Mexico. No. 1018. 



The contrast between the white primaries and blackish secondaries on the 

 upper surface is peculiar. If only a variety it is one worthy of a separate des- 

 ignation. 



Prochcerodes, Gr. ^=Eutrapela, Packard. 



According to Mr. Butler, the genus Chcerodes is preoccupied in Coleoptera. 

 I have shown, in the " Canadian Entomologist," that Eutrapela is used by 

 Hubner first for a species of «S^e/e?iia; and, in including clemataria, Hubner 

 may have thought the moth congeneric. A new name is therefore necessary 

 for our genus, with transversata, Drury, as type. Guenee's limitation of Eu-
