ond is sent me Iby Mr. Hj. Edwards under tlie nnmber 7185. The entire 

 insect is of a faded ocher-browu, varying in tint, the darker specimens 

 have base and subterminal space a little paler. Stigmata pale ; orbicu- 

 lar oblique ; reniform upright, stained interiorly. T. p. line lunulate, of 

 the usual shape, followed by points on the veins ; t. a. line waved -, both 

 single. S. t. line preceded by a diffuse darker shade, spreading on costa, 

 where it encloses the pale costal dots. Fringes concolorous, faintly 

 checquered. Hind wings dark fuscous, with pale fringes. Beneath, con- 

 colorous with common waved line. Expanse^ 40 mil.

Hadena longula u. s. 



J . A large species, which may be compared with mactata from the 

 basal dash and the black shade which connects the long claviform with 

 the t. p. line. Fore wings dull pale wood-brown j stigmata concolorous, 

 narrowly edged with black ; orbicular outwardly oblique, sub-pyriform, 

 moderate ; reniform upright, spreading interiorly, well-sized. T. p. line 

 followed by a pale shade, angulated opposite the cell, where it is unusu- 

 ally strongly projected, interspaceally lunulate. T. a. line also black, 

 lunulate. A long black basal streak; a curved line on basal space 

 within the internal margin. Claviform well-sized, connected with t. p. 

 line by a black shade-streak, limited more strongly on its inner edge 

 with black. Subterminal line pale, with the usual W-mark well writ- 

 ten, preceded medially by rather large black cuneiform marks ; fringes 

 brown, uneven, cut narrowly, with i)ale at extremity of veins. Hind 

 Avings pale, with faint extramesial line and wide diffuse pale fuscous 

 borders. A fine broken terminal line. Thorax like fore wings, with the 

 tegulte edged with darker brown. Beneath, both wings pale, powdered 

 with darker scales, discal dots, and a common uneven extradiscal line.

Hadena modiola n. s. 



9 . This species copies modica. It is a little smaller, with the body- 

 tuftings reduced. Fore wings colored like modica, the median space the 

 darkest, with the claviform shaded with black and the black median 

 shade-line evident, proceeding from the central of three black costal 

 streaks between the stigmata. These latter are pale, the reniforni 

 shaded with whitish, with a double ring, a little squarer^ but altogether 

 like modica. The median space, however, shows no olive-ocher staining 

 as in modica, and this species differs at once by the course of the t. p. 

 line, which is nearer the reniform than in modica, less exserted opposite 

 the cell, and here straighter and more even throughout, more distinctly 

 pale and less inwardly bent interiorly than in modica. S. t. line as in 

 its ally; the narrow terminal space more blackish interiorly than in 

 modica. Fringes brown, narrowly cut with pale at extremity of veins. 

 Hind wings concoloroas fuscous, with paler fringes. Beneath, differing
