June, IQ02.1 OtTOLENiJUI : PlUSIA AND AlLTED GeNERA. 71 



Its great contrast of dark brown and pearl gray renders it at once recognizable. The 

 sign is similar in shape, but golden rather than silver. The t. p. line is a succession 

 of short waves ; the same line in alias being three long, gentle curves. The s. t. line 

 at its first outward curve, is dentate and nearly or quite touches the terminal line ; in 

 alias this part of the line forms three sides of a square, the two angles being slightly 

 obtuse. Opposite the sign, the first dentation in the s. t. line is prolonged to the 

 terminal line. This is not true in alias. Secondaries yellowish with broad dark 

 brown border. Fringes cut. Head and thorax pearl gray. Collar and patagise out- 

 lined in blackish. Expands, 33 mm. 



Habitat: New Brunswick. 

 Type : Female, with the author. 



Described from a single perfect specimen, captured by Mr. W. 

 Mcintosh, at St. John, N. B. 



Autographa vaccinii JIv. Eihv. (PI. VIII, Fig. 3.) 



A good series taken by myself on Mt. Washington agree with the 

 type in the Edwards Collection, American Museum of Natural History. 



Autographa pallida, sp. nov. (PI. VI, Fig. 7.) 



Another of the 7-ectangula , alias group. Exceedingly pale brown with lighter 

 shading. Immediately recognizable by the sign, which is similar to that of its con- 

 geners only reversed, the outer and inner parts of the sign being connected below in- 

 stead of towards the median vein as in recinngula, alias and variana. The sign 

 seems to be white, though in a truly fresh specimen it may prove to be silver. The 

 t. p. line is waved as in vjriana. The s. t. line is more or less dentate throughout. 

 Secondaries pale brown, darker towards the outer border, crossed by a band of much 

 lighter (whitish) color. Fringes white, cut. Expands, 33 mm. 



Habitat: Newfoundland. 

 Type : Female, with the author. 



Described from two females, taken in Newfoundland, by Mr. 

 Roland Thaxter. 



Autographa anguHdens 6"/;/. (PI. VIII, Fig. 5.) 



My material identified by comparison with type in National 

 Museum. I have never seen typical specimens of this, from any local- 

 ity except Colorado, and all that I have seen from Colorado — and I 

 have seen a great number — appear typical and constant in size and 

 in pattern. Angiilide/is (?) from other localities, so far as I have 

 seen, have all been my new species excelsa. 



Autographa excelsa, p. nov. (PI. VI, Fig. 3.) 



Closely allied to anguiidens. Indeed, absolutely fresh specimens are needed in 

 order to identify one from another, unless locality be considered. I have seen very 

 numerous examples of anguiidens , but never from any locality except Colorado, in
