Apatela orata Orote. July 30. 



Apatela paupercula Orote. March 13 to 28. Ten specimens vary a little in 

 size ; the primaries, in the freshest examples, are tinted with olivaceous, 

 BO that a resemblance to A. vianula is thereby presented. 



Apatela xyliaiformis (Ouenee). July 26 to 29 ; Aujr. 6. 



Agrotis simplicia [us] Morrison. March 8 ; April 24. All three stigmata 

 are occasionally indicated. 



Agrotis lubricans (G'iie/iee). March 25; July 20. 



Agrotis incivis Guenee. Dec. 2, 3. 



Ajrotis chortalis Harvey. Nov. 5, 6. There is a distinct mesial thoracic 

 ridge. The species is easily recognized by its Qlaea-like aspect, faded 

 olive color, the basal and t. a. lines velvety black, contrasting, the latter 

 obaolete inferiorly, 



AgTotis sculptilis Harvey. Nov. 8. 



Agrotls rudens Harvey. Dec. 1,3. Belfrage's Numbers are 56, 57. 

 A single specimen wants the longitudinal black dashes. 



Agrotis maleflda Ouenee. Nov. 8; Dec. 21. Easily confounded with anncxa. 

 A specimen from Alabama, collected by Mr. Qrote, is in the collection of 

 this Society. 



Belfrage's Numbers are 44, 45. 

 Agrotis annexa Treits. Dec. 2, 3. Belfrage's Numbers are 51, 52. 

 Agrotis l)adinodis Orote. Nov. 2. 



AgTotis tricosa Lintner. Oct. 7 to 14. 



There is no approach to suhgotliica in a number of specimens, while the 

 hind wings in the male are in two specimens lighter at base. Since the 

 validity of the species does not rest on the character of the hind wings, I re- 

 gard Mr. Morrison's opinions, that the Texan specimens of tricosa approaches 

 more closely to the true (?) suhgothica,i'h.&xi northern specimens of that variety, 

 as improbable. 



Agrotis inconcinna n. s. 



3 . — A species with simple antennae and havingall the tibiae spinose. The 

 color is not unlike saucia, but this is a smaller species, with narrower prima- 

 ries, having the exterior margin rounded, less oblique. In form it is like aux- 

 iliaris, but the markings are more effaced, the color more brown, the hind 

 wings more glossy. The head and collar are dark brown, the thorax a little 

 paler. The terminal space is blackish, the rest of the wing brown, with the
