Uomoptera edusina u. s. 



Kesembles edusa in having the terminal space blotched with whitish. A 

 small, brownish black species, with the t. p. line velvety black, narrow, the 

 subterminal line more prominent, velvety black, irregulai-ly sinuate, exserted 

 at the middle. The median space is somewhat grayish. Reniform spot indis- 

 tinct, stained with whitish. Median space traversed by perpendicular shade 

 lines. Hind wings like primaries, with improminent whitish shading succeed- 

 ing the black central lines. 



Expanse, 33 m. m. March 18. No. 180. 



Hoinoptera atritincta n. s. 



Size of edusina, without the blotches and of an olivaceous blackish. Median 

 and subterminal lines velvety black. Reniform touched with white. Differs 

 by its color which approaches that of Matigramma pulverilinea (a form that 

 differs by the absence of thoracic tufts) while darker, more blackish. The 

 markings are substantially as in edusina and other species. Many specimens 

 were collected in March. The species is numbered 181, by Mr. Belfrage. The 

 smallest specimen expands 30, the largest, 35 m. m. 



Specimens of H. edusa, lunata and Saundersii, have been formerly received 

 from Mr. Belfrage. 



The following well marked species has been received from Mr. J. Pettit, 

 collected in Canada : 



Hoinoptera beiiesigiiata h. s. 



The fore wings are blackish at base within the t. a. line which runs inwardly 

 obliquely from vein 1 to internal margin. Succeeding the t. a. line is a broad 

 ashen band covering the median space before the perpendicular sinuate me- 

 dian shade, and widening on internal margin, conforming to the inflection of 

 the t. a. line. Behind the median shade the median space is shaded with 

 brown, notably so from vein 2 to mternal margin. Reniform a narrow black- 

 ish lunule, its outer edge lined with white. T. p. line black, dentate opposite 

 the cell, of the usual shape, followed by the narrow, black, uneven subterminal 

 space widening to co^ta. Terminally the wing is shaded with ashen. Hind 

 wings pale fuscous, shaded with ashen outwardly. A very distinct narrow 

 median brown band, margined by two black lines, the outer of which is edged 

 with white. Beneath pale fuscous brown, concolorous ; a common dentate 

 line. Collar brown ; thorax blackish brown with ashen shades. 



Expanse, 40 m. m.
