it is also somewhat similar in the arrangement of its 
spots to Hyponomeuta funigatus. Zeller. The most 
noticeable points of Professor Zeller’s description, which, 
in addition to its larger size, seem to separate his 
species from the one before us, are as follows :—‘‘ Ale 
anteriores fumide sine ullo nitore,” ‘ alee posteriores multo 
latiores,” “ nigre.”

Represented in Mr. Gooch’s collection by a single 
specimen. It agrees very closely with Professor Zeller’s 
description of the preceding species, H. strigillatus, in 
which, however, some of the spots would appear to be 
connected in the form of streaks. The ‘‘ fovea pellucida 
valde insignis” of the hind wings mentioned by Zeller is 
particularly noticeable also in this species.

There are several specimens of different sizes in Mr. 
Gooch’s collection which, without doubt, belong to this 
species. They were taken at light at Spring Vale in 
October. Two of these are of a paler, more yellowish, 
variety than the others, but cannot be considered distinct. 
The species seems to be at least allied to the genus
