long, distinctly tridentate, flattened clypeal protuberance. Labial palpi 
oblique, rather stout and longer than in Xanthoptera. The type is pale 
lemon yellow with dots in place of median lines and pale fringes. The 
second species is dark yellow without marks and uncolorous fringes ; the 
frontal armature has its outer edge roundly scalloped instead of forming 
the three sharp teeth of A. Implora.

I conclude this paper by briefly referring to the fact that I have deter- 
mined my species in many collections. I enumerate those of Mr. Thaxter, 
Mr. Neumoegen, Mr. Hy, Edwards, Mr. Tepper and in the Albany col- 
lections. A large number of my types are in Mr. Neumoegea’s grand 
collection, and I have figured a good number of the species. There can 
thus be but few cases of doubt as to what I have described. I had in- 
tended, in memory of many kindnesses, to dedicate a second illustrated 
work to Mr. Roland Thaxter, but circumstances prevent me, and if he will 
accept the present paper on his favorite subject, I shall be glad. I know 
of no one who’by natural temper and talent is better fitted to continue the 
description of North American Noctuid@ than Mr, Thaxter, could he be 
induced to undertake the work,
