  The 
  above 
  description 
  is 
  inapplicable 
  to 
  the 
  Hypena 
  

   hurauli 
  of 
  our 
  collections 
  ; 
  it 
  applies 
  fully 
  to 
  Hypena 
  scabra 
  

   Linn., 
  and 
  to 
  no 
  other 
  species 
  with 
  which 
  we 
  are 
  acquainted. 
  

   In 
  H 
  scabra, 
  the 
  fore-wings 
  are 
  marbled 
  with 
  gray 
  beyond 
  

   the 
  middle 
  n 
  — 
  in 
  H. 
  humuli. 
  not 
  : 
  ;, 
  the 
  two 
  wavy 
  blackish 
  

   lines, 
  one 
  near 
  the 
  middle, 
  and 
  the 
  other 
  near 
  the 
  outer 
  hind 
  

   margin, 
  are 
  formed 
  by 
  little 
  elevated 
  black 
  tufts 
  ;" 
  in 
  humuli 
  

   these 
  lines 
  do 
  not 
  consist 
  of 
  elevated 
  scales 
  or 
  tufts, 
  even 
  in 
  

   examples 
  just 
  emerged 
  from 
  pupae. 
  The 
  "two 
  similar 
  tufts 
  

   on 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  tHe 
  wing 
  " 
  of 
  scabra. 
  are 
  replaced 
  in 
  hwmuli 
  

   by 
  four. 
  Of 
  the 
  former 
  species, 
  " 
  the 
  wings 
  expand 
  one 
  inch 
  

   and 
  a 
  quarter 
  ;" 
  of 
  the 
  latter, 
  no 
  specimen 
  of 
  large 
  numbers 
  

   under 
  my 
  observation, 
  have 
  equaled 
  that 
  expanse. 
  

  

  From 
  the 
  above 
  it 
  seems 
  evident 
  that 
  the 
  description 
  of 
  

   Harris 
  was 
  drawn 
  from 
  examples 
  of 
  H. 
  scabra 
  before 
  him 
  : 
  

   from 
  the 
  general 
  resemblance 
  of 
  the 
  two 
  species, 
  scabra 
  

   examples 
  may 
  have 
  accidentally 
  replaced 
  those 
  which 
  he 
  had 
  

   reared 
  from 
  the 
  hop, 
  and 
  which 
  he 
  intended 
  to 
  describe. 
  

  

  An 
  earlier 
  reference 
  to 
  the 
  species 
  is 
  made 
  by 
  Harris 
  in 
  his 
  

   Catalogues 
  of 
  the 
  Animals 
  and 
  Plants 
  of 
  Massachusetts*
