Ichthyura strigosa e. s. 



^ 5. Allied to americana of Harris. Tlie pre-apical stain is yellow- 

 ish ; the white mark curved and rather even and narrow. Lines much 

 as in allies. This form is distinguishable by a succession of short black- 

 ish interspaceal dashes, situate subterminally ; one, opposite the disk, 

 extending backward to the middle of the cell, and two shorter, on the 

 succeeding interspaces above it; there is also a blackish mark below, 

 between veins 3 and 4. The dark fringes finely cut with pale. Hind 

 wings fuscous. Beneath the blackish streaks reappear. They distin- 

 guish this form, of which Mr. Thaxter has reared several specimens, from 

 larvte found on Poi)lar, at Kittery Point, Me. The thorax is marked as 

 ■usual in this genus. 



Agrotis gularis Grote. 



Mr. Thaxter has taken turris and giilar is in coitu ; thus my former 

 suspicion that the ochery turris was only a variety of the dark red 

 gularis is verified. The latter seem to be usually the males. Kittery 

 Point, Me., and Newtonville, Mass. 



Agrotis dapsilis n. s. 



Whitish-gray. Forewings rather short and broad. Thorax thickly 

 haired. Eyes naked. Forewings and thorax whitish-gray. Inner me- 

 dian line represented by black dots on the veins. Orbicular a minute 

 dot. Eeniform a narrow, blackish, curved streak. T. p. liue dotted. 

 S. t. space a little darker on costa ; s. t. line a dark, faint, uneven shade. 

 A dotted line before the pale fringe. Hind wings pale fuscous gray, 

 with a darker fuscous shade band before the margin and faint mesial 

 line. Beneath, hind wings whitish ; forewdngs fuscous with obliterate 

 markings. Florida; Mi. Thaxter. 



Hadena misera r. s. 



This species, with naked eyes and unarmed tibiie,has a slight, discolor- 

 ous, thoracic crest, and the dorsum of abdomen is feebly tufted. It has 

 the appearance of Ferigea Ivxa, but is smaller, more compact. Of the 

 same fuscous color, dark, and with inconspicuous markings. Thereniform 

 moderate, discolorous, yellowish, the other stigmata hardly indicated. 

 Lines lost, except the waved, rusty yellow subterminal. Costa dotted 

 with pale yellowish. Hind wings nearly concolorous dark fuscous, paler 

 than forewings. Beneath, fuscous ; hind, wings jjaler, irrorate, with dot 

 and extra mesial line. The head, collar, and tegulai, blackish fuscous, 

 like forewings. Abdomen like hind wings. The disk of thorax some- 

 what rusty and paler. Illinois; also, I have somewhere seen a specimen 

 irom Asew York. Aijparently not common. August. 



Perigrapha transparens n. s. 



?. Eyes hairy. Tibifie unarmed. Vestiture of the body rather shaggy. 

 Abdomen untufted-. Thorax with a ridge down the center. Head a
