blackish, subobsolete. Posterior "wings light gray; beneath gray, the 

 posterior wings lighter, with discal dots. 



Hab. Easton, Penn. From Mr. W. H. Stultz. 



Distantly allied to Dlcopis miiraUs Gr.; it differs in the shape of the 

 wings, which are narrow and Cucullia-like, the presence of the basal 

 streak extending to the exterior line, and the absence of the distinct 

 subanal streak of muralis. 



Agrotis digna nor. sp. 



Expanse, 32 mm. Length of body. 14 mm. 



All the tibiae armed. Eyes naked. Palpi dark. Collar white 

 above, the lower half gray. Thorax and abdomen white, anal tuft 

 with a faint brown shade above. Anterior wings white, covered with 

 very fine gray atoms, which, becoming thickened towards the outer 

 margin, give it a dusky appearance; the markings are nearly ob- 

 solete, the interior and exterior lines are faintly seen, and two 

 black dots mark the reniform spot; a black line at the base of the 

 fringe. Posterior wings and fringes pellucid white. Beneath, the 

 anterior wings are yellowish white, the posteriors without the yellow 

 tinge, except on the costal margin. 



Hab. Texas. 



One specimen in the collection of the Peabody Academy of Sci- 

 ence, and one in our own possession. 



The white color of this species is different from that of A. murce- 

 nula, simplaria, and their allies. 



Agrotis infracta nov. sp. 



Expanse, 26 mm. Length of body, 13 mm. 



All the tibiae armed. Ovipositor of the female slightly protruding. 



This species we have had in our collection for some time, but have 

 considered it a small variety of Agrotis messoria Harris; it is ex- 

 tremely close to this species certainly, but we have seen a number of 

 specimens, male and female, all showing the same characters, and 

 some even smaller than the type; none approaching in size to messo- 

 ria, which expands from 33 to -40 mm. The following are the differ- 

 ences of marking which it presents: basal dash distinct, ground color 

 of the basal and subterminal spaces lighter carneous gray, exterior 

 line more strongly projected outward, posterior wings nearly uniform 

 dusky gray.
