ate. Ordinary spots pale ringed ; iu tbe specimen before me confluent. 

 Probably this is the exception and not the rule. Secondaries with a 

 carmine tinge, blackish powdery, a distinct discal spot. Beneath pow- 

 dery, with broad outer line and large discal spot. Head and thorax 

 concolorous, collar paler, yellowish red. Ilarpes slightly curved, 

 squarely cut off at tip, the angles somewhat prominent. The clasper 

 is a curved, corneous hook of moderate length. Expands 1.40 inches 

 (35 mm ). 



Habitat. — California. 



This species is readily recognized by the discolorous collar. It is 

 closely allied to garmani and perfectly congeneric with it The thorax 

 has a small anterior crest, and there is a truncate posterior tuft, and 

 these probably caused Mr. Grote to refer the species to Perigrapha. 

 The same features to a less degree are visible in garmani, but neither 

 have the heavily pectinate antennae of Perigrapha nor its wing shape. 



SPECIES UNKNOWN TO MB. 



Teeniocampa agrotiformis Grote. 



Can. Ent., Xin, 14, 1881, Grapldpliora. 



" Female. — This form reminds one of Agrotis collaris or versipellis. 

 Eyes hairy, tibiae unarmed, tuftings obsolete. Fore wing blackish 

 brown to the continuous, black, upright, uneven subterminal line; be- 

 yond with the fringes brownish. Median lines geminate, faint. Orbic- 

 ular round, paler than the wing. Reniform moderate, outwardly exca- 

 vate, upright, pale ringed, with dark center. The cell between the 

 spots black shaded. The stigmata are comparatively small. No trace 

 of the claviform. Bind wings pale brownish fuscous, concolorous; 

 fringes a little lighter and more reddish. Beneath secondaries paler, 

 with discal dot and uueven exterior line; fore wiugs dark fuscuous to 

 terminal space, which is pale with the fringes dark. Mead and thorax 

 like the fore wings; collar a little paler. Body rather slender; costa of 

 primaries a little depressed centrally. Colorado, expands 34 mm . Dif- 

 fers from the described species quite strongly; from Mamestra by the 

 un tufted body parts." 



Quite a distinct species from the description, and quite unlike any- 

 thing I have seen. The type of ornamentation would seem to relate it 

 with garmani.
