198 GROTE & ROBINSON. 



middle of the wing where it approaclies the. transverse anterior line. 

 Subterminal space clear grey. The line is only observable as the outer 

 edge of the space ; it forms three teeth at the center and is here followed 

 by four black marks at the base of the dentations. The constricted 

 terminal space is obscure olivaceous, and is intruded upon at the apex 

 and internal angle by the ground color of the wing. The fringes are 

 dark, distinctly cut with whitish at the extremity of the nervules. 

 Secondaries smoky whitish at base, with a blackish shade band along- 

 external margin. Beneath, the primaries are smoky from the base 

 outwardly with faint traces of a transverse line ; the terminal space is 

 white or whitish. Secondaries entirely white or whitish, with a discal 

 dot and a transverse interrupted line reduced to a series of dark ner- 

 vular points. 



Expanse, 38 — 40 mil. Length of hodi/, 16 — 18 mil. 



Habitat. — Atlantic District. 



Hadena subjuncta, u. s. (Plate 3, fig. 71 ■£ .) 



% 5 . — Antennae simple, finely and shortly ciliate beneath. Car- 

 neous brown. Head with a~ dark frontal line. Prothoracic pieces 

 with a very di.-;tinct and daep brown lino. Abdomen created above at 

 base, with a spreading anal tuft in the male. Anterior wings, above, 

 blackish brown shaded with carneous. A longitudinal deep brown 

 basal ray, shaded inferiorly, extending outwardly and narrowly to the 

 transverse anterior line. Above this ray, the base is tinged with car- 

 neous, and the basal line is indicated by a dark geminate costal streak. 

 Transverse anterior line geminate,' the outer Hue the darker, roundedly 

 and evenly interspaceally waved, nearly perpendicular. Ordinary spots 

 very large, distinctly limited. The median space is wide superiorly, 

 but is constricted below the pedian nervure; a longitiidinal deep brown 

 streak runs along the submedian fold and connects the two median 

 lines at their point of greatest contiguity. This streak becomes the 

 lower margin of the claviform spot which abutts from the transverse 

 anterior line, and whose upper margin is seen in a very distincf deep 

 brown line running outwardly and downwardly obliquely from the me- 

 dian nervure. Above the claviform is the large orbicular, pale, with a 

 distinct annulus. The reniform is wide, of the ordinary shape, with 

 an indistinct central shade and the distinct annulus is often obsolete 

 outwardly. Beyond the reniform, the wing is shaded with carneous 

 to the subterminal line, this shade spreading inferiorly. A diffuse and 

 faint blackish median shade runs from the costa downward between 

 the ordinary spots and' is discontinued below median nervure. The
