i. — This Californian species differs ixova. fusdgera\ij \\xq Avliite liind wings, 

 reflecting tlie discal point from beneath. From Eileyana it differs by the con- 

 colorous stigmata and different color of primaries. It is described by me in 

 Mr. Grote's check list of the " Noctuidae of America north of Mexico," page 25. 



A^rotis Bostoniensis Grcte, Plate 3, fig. 7. 



I illustrate the male of this easily recognized and handsome species; the 

 hind wings are white in this sex, in the female they are blackish fuscous. The 

 species has been taken by Mr. Roland Thaxter at Newtonville, Mass., in Sep- 

 tember, and is originally described in the proceedings of the Academy of Nat- 

 ural Sciences of Philadelphia, page 203, 1874. 



A^rotls (Ammmoconia) aratrix Harwy, Plate 3, fig. 8. 



¥. — This species is a little smaller than chortalis; with darker fore wings 

 and inconspicuous lines. The stigmata are pale ringed; the median shade 

 prominent. There is a faint ruddy tinting to the wings and body beneath 

 and the costal edge of primaries is pale. It shows a marked resemblance to 

 the species of Glaea in appearance. The subgeueric characters are well dis- 

 played. The t. p. line is geminate, nearly straight, median shade angulate on 

 cell ; fringes pale ruddy. Hind wings fuscous with pale ruddy fringes ; beneath 

 paler with incomplete line and dot.
