Nemeophila plantaginis Linn.

All the petrosa are males, all the modesta females, which is also the

Family NOCTUID^. 

 Noctua c-nigrum Linn. 

 Noctua c-nigrum LINN., Syst. Nat., i, 576, 1758. 



Eight examples : Popof Island, July 13-15 ; Kadiak, July 20. 

 Hadena basilinea Fab. 

 Hadena basilinea FAB., Mant. Ins., 2, 183, 1787. 



One example : Sitka, June 16. 



The example was submitted to Professor John B. Smith, who says : 



A rubbed female not quite so reddish as in the normal examples ; 

 but, I believe it without question the same. It differs from the eastern 

 Jinitma in the grayer, less contrasting maculation which is also less 

 clearly written. From the normal European examples it seems to dif- 

 fer in being a little more powdery ; but this may be due to the condi- 

 tion of the specimen. 



Hadena pluviosa Walk. 



Hadena pluviosaVf AIM., Cat. Brit. Mus. Lepid., 33, 725, 1865. 

 One example : Kukak Bay, July 4. 



This example also was submitted to Professor Smith. He says : 

 One male in poor condition. This determination is open to consid- 

 erable doubt, for the specimen is larger and darker than the Washing- 

 ton examples before me ; but I find nothing else nearer, and do not feel 

 justified in describing it as new.
