15, 1914) and one male and one female paratype from New Brighton, 

 JPennsylvania (H. D. Merrick, "4-27-03" and "5-2-03"). 



The species is distinct from the others in the genus on both geni- 

 talia and slight but constant color characters. In genitalia it most 

 resembles deludana, from which it is distinguished by its broad 

 harpes. Unlike all but hiangulana Walsingham it has no blackish 

 mark or shading on fore wing over the ocellus. From 'biangula/na 

 it is distinguished by the greater contrast of its light and dark mark- 

 ings. Veins 7 and 8 of fore wings are stalked.

This and the following species are distinguished from the others 

 in the genus by their whitish ocelloid patches, sharply contrasting 

 with the dark ground color of the fore wings. 



The two species {luatchungana and dulciana) are easily separated 

 by genitalia and the characters given in the key. In both species 

 veins 7 and 8 of fore wings are stalked.

4. GRETCHENA DULCIANA, new species. 



(Fig. 327.) 



Palpi, face, head, and thorax brown with a very slight dusting of 

 grayish-white scaling on head and thorax ; inner sides of palpi whit- 

 ish. Fore wing brown with white ocelloid patch, a couple of short, 

 distinct, germinate white dashes on costa near apex, a slight dusting 

 of white and black scaling and a more diffused shading of semi-lus- 

 trous lead scales ; cilia fuscous dusted with black except at anal angle, 

 where they are white. Hind wing dark, smoky fuscous ; cilia paler 

 with a dark basal band. Like loaichungana Kearfott, except that 

 dark ground color of fore wing is ferruginous brown, especially in 

 apical half, rather than blackish and that it lacks any indication of a 

 whitish, mid-dorsal patch. In watchungana also the hind wing is 

 much paler, almost transparent towards base and there is no trace of
