 Wlk. : Cliar. Undesc. Lep., p. 70, is a synonym. \re'pan<la,

9. Gen. Agrotis, Ochs. 



Frons not projecting. Palpi rather long, ascending; 

 second joint shortly rough-haired beneath; terminal joint 

 moderate, smooth. Thorax with a rounded anterior and small 

 posterior crests. Abdomen not crested. Anterior tibiae 

 shorter than first tarsal joint, broad, with numerous strong 

 spines on sides and apex. Middle and posterior tibiae with 

 numerous spines; posterior tibiae smooth with long hairs on 

 basal part of dorsum. Neuration normal. 



poliotis, Hmps. yjjsilon, Roths, infusa, Bdv. ; slightly 

 variable; I have no doubt that spina, Gn., is a synonym, 

 though Hampson places the two in different genera. 



10. Gen. Graphiphora, Ochs. 



Frons not, or only slightly, projecting. Palpi moderately 

 long, ascending; second joint thickened, with rather smoothly 

 appressed hairs, especially towards apex, which is expanded; 

 terminal joint moderate, smooth, often porrect. Thorax with 

 rounded anterior crest. Abdomen with long hairs at base of 

 dorsum but without crests. Anterior tibiae longer than first 

 tarsal joint, not expanded at apex, with a series of fine spines 

 on inner edge, and one or two on outer edge near apex. Middle 

 and posterior tibiae with numerous spines; posterior tibiae 

 smooth, hairy on dorsum except towards apex. Neuration 

 normal. 



Differs from Agrotis in the anterior tibiae and palpi. A 

 large cosmopolitan genus.
