exterior Hues, the outer incomplete ; hind wings with discal mark and 

 the inner exterior line continuous, somewhat jagged inferiorly. Thorax 

 red brown; abdomen pale above, with reddish or ochery shades beneath. 

 Expanse 33 mil. From Prof. J. A. Lintner, Schenectady, N. Y., July 8. 



Differs from coiifl.ua by the concolorous terminal spaces, 

 pale black-marked subterminal, and broken t. p. line. It is 

 brighter colored and stouter than its ally, the t. p. line more 

 inwardly bent submedially. 



Agrotis placida, n. s. 



?. Fore tibiae unarmed; antennae simple. Fuscous gray. Fore wings 

 smooth, dark fuscous. Basal and subterminal spaces blackish and darkest ; 

 median space a little lighter, slightly brownish ; terminal space gray, con- 

 trasting. Lines even, perpendicular, pale. Transverse auterior line with 

 a slight subcostal notch, slightly oblique ; median space wide ; stigmata 

 difficult to make out, pale ringed, concolorous ; median shade noticeable, 

 obscuring the reniform. Transverse posterior line with a straight out- 

 ward costal extension beyond the point of origination, thence somewhat 

 squarely exserted opposite the cell, and running nearly straight down- 

 wards without submedian sinus. Subterminal line indicated by the great 

 difference in color between the two terminal spaces; fringes dark. Hind 

 wings concolorous, rather dark fuscous, with paler interlined fringes. 

 Beneath fuscous, with a slight purply shade, irrorate, with an external 

 common band incomplete; a slight discal mark on hind wings. Terminal 

 abdominal hairs somewhat ocherous. Expanse 35 mil. Lewis Co., N. Y.,

Hadena hillii, n. s. 



$. Eyes naked; tibiae unarmed. Abdomen with short black tufts on 

 basal segments. White, gray, and black, very distinctly marked. Lines 

 black, geminate. A black basal dash. Sub- basal space wide, whitish. 

 T. a. line black, its inner line indistiuct, erect, touching the orbicular, 

 dentate on costa, opposite the orbicular, again with a broad obtuse tooth 

 from median to submedian vein, and with a shorter one at internal margin. 

 Claviform large, concolorous, defined by two narrow black lines which 

 run entirely across the median space. Orbicular white, irregularly 

 rounded, a little oblique, large. Reniform well sized, white, of the normal 

 kidney shape. T. p. line originating above the reniform, well exserted 

 beyond the reniform, running rather strongly in at vein 2, aud thus narrow-
