Lithoplmne oriuiula Orote. 



Allied to L. Bethiinei and belonging to the typical group of the genus. 

 Distinct, intense, even, somewhat purply brown. Fore wings concolorous with 

 the costal edge shaded with whitish to the t. p. line, and interrupted by oblique 

 brown streaks indicating the transverse lines. Keniform and orbicular spots 

 more or less shaded with whitish, shaped as in L. Bcthunci. Claviforra dis- 

 tinctly outlined in black, large. Subterminal line alone distinctly indicated 

 by pale points. The median dentate lines more or less lost in the ground 

 color. Veins terminally indistinctly black marked opposite pale dots on the 

 brown dentate fringes. Secondaries dark fuscous, with a warmer shade on the 

 fringes. Beneath paler, shaded with reddish, with a distinct discal spot on 

 the paler hind wings and a common line. On the primaries the pale costal 

 dots are evident on both surfaces. 



Expan&e, 34 m. m. Canada, Mr. Wm. Saunders, No. 960. 



Color like L.ferrealis, but darker, with the subterminal line more 

 even, the orbicular smaller and the costal discoloration paler and 

 more distinctly contrasted and limited. 



Orthosia infumata Grote. 



This is a rather wide winged species with naked eyes, distinctly lashed. 

 The untufted abdomen is somewhat compressed but not flattened as in Olaea> 

 the wings proportionally wider terminally. The tibiae are unarmed. Dull 

 pale ochery, much shaded with fuscous on the primaries beyond the median 

 shade. Transverse lines narrow, even, dark ; the t. a. line obliquely arcuate 

 being produced on cell 2. Median shade rather diffuse and broad. Ordinary 

 spots rather'large and vague, stained with bright ocherous, the reniform in- 

 cluding an inferior black mark. T. p. line arcuate, distinct. Subterminal line 

 faint with a preceding darker shade deepening on costa. Hind wings very 

 pale ochery, more or less brightly tinted, with double faint transverse fuscous
