ing, which is unique, as far I know, in its genus. The only specimen 

 I have seen was taken by myself near Muddy Pond, in West llox- 

 bury, Mass., in the middle of August, 18G9. 



Cleora pulchraria n. sp. Al. ex., 1.50 inch. Light cinereous, 

 marked with black. Above, primaries darker than secondaries, with 

 two transverse dentate lines, dividing the wings, counting from the 

 base, into the proportions of about 5:8:4, the inner line curving out- 

 wards, and the outer recurved ; a dash along the basal half of the 

 costa. Secondaries, with outer line of primaries continued, curving 

 outwards. Fringe alternated with black at the terminations of the 

 nervures. Beneath, on both wings, markings of upper surface repeated 

 faintly. Primaries with median nervure, and the terminal portions 

 of the nervules covered with black scales. Discal dots well defined 

 above and beneath. Antennae broadly pectinated in the male, fili- 

 form in the female, murinous. Eyes black, front gray, sometimes 

 orange. Thorax, legs and abdomen, cinereous. Middle legs with 

 one, and hind legs with two pairs of tibial spurs; I have a male 

 specimen, however, which has two pairs of spurs on the middle legs. 



This moth, which I have named the pretty Cleora, may be seen 

 around Boston on the sunny days of September. It seems to be 

 somewhat erratic in its appearance, for it comes out abundantly on 

 some days, on others no specimens are to be seen. The only ones 

 I have were given me by Mr. B. P. Mann of Cambridge. There are 

 specimens in the Society's collection. 



Anisopteryx strigularia n. sp. Al. ex., 1.60 inch. Murinous. 

 Above, pale murinous. Primaries with a darker shade along the 

 costa, suffused over the anterior two-thirds of the wing; innumerable 

 minute strigulse and three more or less suffused whitish spots on the 

 costal margin, the outmost tending to become a transverse fascia. 

 Secondaries without markings, nearly uniform in tint. Beneath, 

 primaries with spots of upper surface repeated ; a subapical patch of 

 white, marked with transverse black strigulse, which extend along the 

 costal border to the base of the wing, and along the outer nearly to 

 the posterior margin. Secondaries whitish, with fuliginous blotches 

 and transverse strigulae, which, being more numerous in some places 

 than in others, give the wing a moss-like appearance ; there is a trans- 

 verse fascia, obliterated in the middle of the wings, but near each mar- 

 gin rendered distinct by the strigulae which run somewhat together 

 along the outer edge, producing dark blotches, the anterior of which 

 is much the largest. Fringe white, alternated with black hairs at the
