median shade is. dark, diffused, and present above and below the 

 spots. These latter are large, concolorous, with pale annuli; and 

 united together, forming an irregular dumb-bell shaped spot. Base 

 of the reniform spot blackish. The exterior line is faint, cinereous, 

 containing black spots on the nervules, most evident opposite the cell. 

 The subterminal line is irregular, of the same color, most clearly 

 indicated above, where it is preceded by a costal dark shade. A series 

 of black spots at the base of the concolorous fringe. The posterior 

 wings are brownish-fuscous, tinged with dull gray outwardly, and 

 with a black line at the base of the fringe. Beneath, the wings are 

 unicolorous, whitish, with a faint carneous tinge. The discal dots, 

 and traces on the costa of the median lines as black points, are seen 

 on both wings.

This species, quickly recognized by the united spots, a character 

 possessed by none of our identified Tceniocampce was determined as 

 T. populeti by Dr. Staudinger, but it is certainly distinct from this 

 European moth. 



It is closer to M. Guenee's T. Jiibisci, founded on one of Abbot's 

 unpublished drawings, but it differs in several particulars from his 

 short description. 

 Tsenioeampa intractata nov. sp. 

 Expanse 30 mm. Length of body 14 mm. 



Form rather slight. The male antennas clothed with fine hairy 

 bristles. The first two joints of the palpi erect, the third horizontal, 

 comparatively long, naked and rounded at the tip. The thorax and 

 abdomen untufted, clothed as in T. stabilis. The coloration and mark- 

 ings are similar to those of this species, although the former is of a 

 slightly darker yellowish-gray. There is a distinct black spot at the 

 base, beneath the median nervure. Interior line indistinct, whitish, 

 with two plain black spots, one before the orbicular spots, the other 

 beneath the median nervure. The ordinary spots are very large, 

 concolorous, with pale annuli, and shaped as in stabilis. They differ 

 in their closeness to each other, in one specimen being almost contig- 

 uous. Exterior line faint, drawn in below, and touching the base 

 of the reniform /pot. There is a distinct black spot below the fourth 

 median branch. All the lines are pale, with darker accompanying 

 shades. The subterminal is light, more irregular than in stabilis, and 

 preceded by a darker shade. The posterior wings are whitish at the
