  general 
  hue 
  is 
  browner, 
  whilst 
  the 
  orbicular 
  stigma 
  is 
  

   white 
  ; 
  moreover 
  the 
  dark 
  central 
  area 
  is 
  more 
  restricted 
  

   and 
  defined, 
  being 
  roughly 
  triangular 
  in 
  shape. 
  The 
  

   secondaries 
  are 
  also 
  browner, 
  and 
  have 
  a 
  dark 
  transverse 
  

   line 
  beyond 
  the 
  centre 
  ; 
  whilst 
  the 
  antennaG 
  are 
  pecti- 
  

   nated 
  like 
  Grotei, 
  and 
  not 
  pubescent 
  like 
  mamestrina. 
  

   Its 
  correct 
  position 
  will 
  be 
  between 
  these 
  two 
  species. 
  

  

  Hadena 
  atlanticum, 
  n. 
  sp. 
  

  

  Primaries 
  reddish 
  brown, 
  with 
  a 
  short 
  distinct 
  basal 
  black 
  dash 
  

   forked 
  from 
  its 
  centre, 
  just 
  beyond 
  which 
  is 
  a 
  small 
  indistinct 
  

   dusky 
  patch 
  on 
  the 
  inner 
  margin 
  ; 
  orbicular 
  stigma 
  encircled 
  by 
  a 
  

   fine 
  black 
  line 
  ; 
  reniform 
  darker 
  than 
  the 
  ground 
  colour 
  on 
  its 
  

   inner 
  margin, 
  then 
  somewhat 
  paler, 
  the 
  posterior 
  margin 
  being 
  

   edged 
  with 
  whitish 
  ; 
  between 
  these 
  two 
  stigmas 
  the 
  ground 
  colour 
  

   deepens 
  in 
  its 
  tone. 
  The 
  blackish 
  and 
  sharply 
  dentated 
  line, 
  just 
  

   beyond 
  the 
  reniform 
  stigma, 
  has 
  scarcely 
  a 
  trace 
  of 
  the 
  lighter 
  

   edging 
  so 
  often 
  seen 
  in 
  adusta. 
  The 
  reddish 
  yellow 
  subterminal 
  

   line 
  is 
  very 
  much 
  interrupted, 
  and 
  almost 
  resolves 
  itself 
  into 
  a 
  row 
  

   of 
  buff 
  spots, 
  and 
  it 
  lacks 
  the 
  preceding 
  row 
  of 
  dark 
  spots 
  usual 
  in 
  

   the 
  aforesaid 
  species 
  ; 
  the 
  posterior 
  margin 
  is 
  finely 
  scalloped 
  with 
  

   blackish. 
  Fringes 
  paler 
  than 
  ground 
  colour, 
  with 
  a 
  dark 
  dividing 
  

   line. 
  Secondaries 
  brown, 
  darker 
  around 
  the 
  posterior 
  margin. 
  

   Antennse 
  pectinated 
  in 
  both 
  sexes.

  From 
  adusta 
  (its 
  near 
  ally) 
  it 
  can 
  be 
  separated 
  by 
  its 
  

   more 
  uniform 
  and 
  altogether 
  redder 
  appearance, 
  by 
  its 
  

   uniform 
  brown 
  hind 
  wings, 
  and 
  by 
  its 
  pectinated 
  

   antennae.

  "

  and

  respectively, 
  both 
  of 
  which 
  are

  2000

  somewhat 
  more. 
  

  

  Eriopus 
  Latreillei, 
  Dup. 
  

   Of 
  this 
  insect 
  I 
  have 
  seven 
  specimens, 
  all 
  of 
  which 
  

   agree 
  ijitei' 
  se, 
  and 
  they 
  are 
  a 
  beautiful 
  form 
  of 
  the 
  

   ordinary 
  type. 
  Instead 
  of 
  being 
  of 
  the 
  usual 
  colour, 
  

   they 
  are 
  all 
  suffused 
  with 
  a 
  very 
  pretty 
  rosy 
  tinge, 
  more 
  

   especially 
  over 
  the 
  hinder 
  half 
  of 
  the 
  wing 
  ; 
  the 
  markings 
  

   are 
  also 
  of 
  a 
  deeper 
  and 
  richer 
  colour, 
  the 
  two 
  thus 
  com- 
  

   bining 
  to 
  make 
  a 
  very 
  pretty 
  insect 
  out 
  of 
  a 
  rather 
  dull 
  

   one. 
  The 
  rosy 
  tinge 
  also 
  extends 
  to 
  over 
  the 
  hairy 
  tufts 
  

   of 
  the 
  fore 
  legs, 
  over 
  the 
  outer 
  portion 
  of 
  the 
  under
