rather stout. Antennse long. Two specimens. Coll. Bdv. Am. Sept." 

 This description, which I have translated, will not apply to any form 

 known to me. It is opposed to lepidula both in color and markings of 

 fore wing's and color of hind wings.

Palliatricula Guen., Noct. 1, 26. Canada to Middle States. 



lasjns Gaen., ISToct. 1, 209; Grote List, 14. Same localities as Pallia- 

 tricula, of which it may be the (? or a varietal form ; notwithstanding 

 Gnenee's separation the two are closely allied. 



Sensilis Grote, Papilio 1, 49. Eastern and Middle States. This genus 

 is more robust and hadeniform than Bryophila, the body tufted; the 

 thoracic scales are flattened, not like Hadena in this respect. It is 

 peculiar from the white dot attached to t. p. line, in Palliatricula 

 absorbed by the white shade of median space.

• Occidentalis G. & R., Proc. Ent. Soc. Phil. 6, 16. Canada to Southern 

 States. Represents in our fauna the European Psi; the larva has 

 been described by Mr. Saunders, and is quite distinct.

3, 137 (larva). Apple. Canada to Middle States. 

 LobelicB Guen., Noct. 1, 44; Coquill., Papilio 1, 6 (larva). Burr Oak. 

 According to Guenee, Abbot represents the larva on Lobelia. Guenee 

 describes from specimens, and his description agrees with our species, 

 but not the larva. Texan specimens are large, and sometimes with a 

 faint ocher tinge to the primaries. This Js the largest of the group, 

 but not so stout as Americana and allies. Canada to Texas. 

 Thoracica Grote, N. Am. Ent. 1, 94. Colorado.

"This resembles the two preceding species, but is more oblong, and 

 the markings of the hind wings below is very different. 45 mil. Fore 

 wings narrow, oblong, produced at apices, of an ashen gray much ob- 

 scured by ijowdering, the median lines separate, fine, the stigmata tied 

 and only well marked inferiorly. The fringe neatly cut. Hind wings 

 of a very dirty whitish gray, a little iridescent, the margin and the 

 veins much stained with black, beneath of a slightly nacreous white, 

 with a basal dash, a strong cellular spot, a thick interrupted line, and
