Anaphora mortipennela, Grote g.—Labial palpi reflexed, thrown 
back over and as long as the dorsum of thorax, but not closely applied, 
thickly scaled but less so than in allied species, fuscous outwardly along 
the sides, dead whitish on the inside. Head and thorax above dead or 
dirty whitish. Primaries pale, dirty whitish, with heavily sprinkled black 
scales on costal region at base, fading outwardly. A black scale patch at 
extremity of discal cell, and a larger one on submedian fold, below 
median vein, at about the middle of the wing ; parallel with this at base, 
a few black scales. ‘There is a faint sprinkling of black scales over the 
median nervules, and about internal angle are two or three better marked’ 
black points on the margin. Four costal black marks before the apex, 
the first of these above discal spot ; other costal marks towards the base 
of the wing. Fringes fuscous} faintly ined. Secondaries fuscous, much 
darker than, and strangely contrasting with, the pallid primaries. Beneath 
both wings fuscous with ochrey stains. ‘The basal joint of labial palpi is 
prominently dark fuscous or blackish outwardly. Æxpause 25 m. m. 
Central Alabama. June. | 
Smaller than 4. Plumifrontella, and easily recognized by its pallid 
discolorous fore wings, which are also a little more determinate at apices 
and internal angle than usual. 
Anaphora agrotipennella, Grote T.—Fuscous or blackish wood brown. 
Labial palpi reflexed, and as long as the dorsum of thorax, a little paler 
inwardly, blackish outwardly. Primaries above fuscous, blackish, with a 
light purplish reflection. From the base outwardly, below median vein, 
is a prominent pale streak fading externally, where it is diffuse and dark 
ochrey. It is bordered beneath at base by black scales like a dash, and 
surmounted and partly interrupted by a black scale patch below median 
nervure before vein 2. On the discal cell is an unprominent black scale 
patch towards the base, beyond which an obscure ochrey longitudinal 
median shade, sometimes lost, stretches over the nervules, and is inter- 
rupted at the extremity of the cell by a distinct black subquadrate scale 
patch. [faint blackish costal and terminal marks; fringes fuscous. 
Secondaries and their fringes fuscous. Beneath, both wings and body 
parts blackish-fuscous. Æxpanse 27 m.m. Central Alabama; June and 
July. Very common. 
I have only seen males of this species, in which the ornamentation of 
the fore wings above recalls that of various species of Agrotis, such as 
A. jaculifera, etc. I have tried to recognize in this species À, Popeanella,
