 Thorax and primaries of a hhickish hrown, irnjrate with hlack ; beneath the 

 thorax and abdomen are a light gray; above tlie abdomen is a blackisli gray; 

 the legs are gray with black markings. The linear black basal streak is con- 

 tinued across the t. a. line ; the t. a. line is curved a little outwardly on the 

 costa, then straight to the internal margin. The t. p. line is nearly straiglit 

 to the center, then passes inwardly and downwardly to the position of a me- 

 dian shade, from that straight to the inner margin. Tlie subterminal line 

 consists of a slight irregular shading, the terminal line distinct, continuous, 

 fringes concolorous. Beneath, cinereous, slight markings on the costa, ter- 

 minal line present. The secondaries above are centrally pellucid white, bor- 

 dered outwardly irregularly with fuscous, the veins soiled. Beneath, the 

 discal spot and an outer evident line, the costal and posterior borders peppered; 

 fringes white.

Distinguished by the narrowness of the lines and the want of a 

 suffusion. The tone is like tliat Lepijiolys perscripta, and the ge- 

 neric position of the species is not assured. 



Prodenia flavimedia, n. s. 



S $. — This species is much smaller X\\&t\ cmnmelinae, and is probably the 

 commelinae of the Missouri Reports. It is found from New York to Texas. 

 The median space below the nervure and obliquely upwards to costa over the 

 orbicular is dull ocher yellow, and the thoracic squamation is mixed with the 

 same color. The apices and sitbterminal space except between the third and 

 fourth nervules are w^ashed with whitish. The subterminal line is white, very 

 near the margin, slightly indented opposite the cell. The brown fringes are 

 cut finely with white at the extremity of the veins. The reniform is incurved, 

 marked with yellowish superiorly, narrow. Hind wings pellucid, iridescent, 

 without discal marks above or below, with narrow smoky edging and soiled 

 veins.

This cannot be Guenee's ornitliogaJU, which is described as want- 

 ing all yellow shadings and has an obtuse z'eniform like Laplnjgma 

 fnigiperda.
