simple antennse with ornamentation recalling Oloantha ; Anchocelis has 
naked eyes with the clypeus mucronate, our species is much smaller and 
differs slightly from the European type ; Parastichtis (Dyschorista Led. ), 
has naked eyes and exserted 9 oviduct, with somewhat the form of Dian- 
theta. 
12. Orthosiine m. The numerous genera grouped here seem to fall 
in between Teniocampa and Cucullia. The moths hibernate, as in the 
former group ; they are colored yellow and brown like the autumn leaves 
in which they hide, and among them may be found some of our hand- 
somest insects. The eyes are naked, the body as a rule untufted, tending 
to be flat, the ovipositor is concealed. Wetalepsis has spinose tibixe, sunken 
head, pectinate male antennse, a hollowed out collar, in front discolorous, 
untufted thorax, short untufted abdomen, naked, lashed eyes. The moth 
has probably a European congener. Pachnobia Carnea has a more woolly 
thorax, the collar straight ; it it found in richly colored varieties on Mount, 
Washington ,and in Labrador; both these genera have resemblances to 
preceding group. The ensuing genera have also spinose tibie. Zrichor- 
thosia has hairy eyes and sharply pointed wings. Pseudorthosia to the ap- 
pearance of Orthosia has spinose tibise. Choephira is broader-winged with 
stoutly pectinate antenne, and in the body parts resembles Zotheca. 
Pseudoglwa has a flattened abdomen, and appears related to the European 
Mesagona. Cea is wide winged, slight and mealy scaled, with naked eyes 
and unarmed tibis ; Calymnia differs by the smooth front. Trichocosmia 
with similar habit has shortly-haired eyes. Ipimorpha (= Plastenis) has 
straight costal margin and sharp apices. The typical Orthoste much re- 
semble Hadena ; they are yellow and brown and the genus contains three 
stout species. Conradi, Lutosa and Citima which would be taken for 
Hadenew with untufted abdomen. Oosmia is longer winged, and our spe- 
cies may be the same as the European Palwacea. Homoglea has pectinate 
antenne ; Glaa simple antennse and untufted flattened body ; Hpiglva 
has a thoracic ridge. Jodia resembles Trichorthosia in shape of wings 
with naked eyes; the species has sharply pointed wings, and is red in 
color, and prepares us for Hucirredia with uneven produced external 
margin, and Scoliopteryx with angulate wings and exaggeratedly tufted 
flattened body, the tufts like Hurhipia which the moth approaches in color 
and pattern, the flattened body like Lithophane. Scopelosoma has a flat- 
tened body with a small tuft behind collar and even outer margin ; our 
species are numerous, in part variable, whether all strictly belong here is 
a question Tam disposed to be pretty confident about, but Pettiti and the 
yellow forms incline to Xanthia. Our species of Lithophane are numer- 
ous; Pewats may be the same as Ingrica and Thaateri is regarded as a 
geographical modification of the Kuropean Oonformis. ‘Till the stages are 
all known and compared, it is safer to keep our forms under separate 
names; they should not be united except under complete evidence, 
judging from what we know of Occidentalis for instance, where the larvic 
are so distinct. I incline to believe Lithomia Germana is not different from
