"Euxoa"' cincta sp. nov.^ 



Head, collar, thorax, patagia and ground color of primaries concolorous, 

 violaceous-grey, in some specimens with a rufous cast. Tegulae crossed by 

 two obsolescent lines of black scales. Abdomen ochreous, powdered with black, 

 paler basally. Primaries : basal line black, double, obsolescent except on costa 

 and in submedian fold ; t. a. line black, double, slightly excurved, waved ; orbicu- 

 lar obsolete or obsolescent, when visible appearing as a slightly paler round 

 spot, not definitely defined and nearly filling the cell from the t. a. line to the 

 median shade ; which is strong, wide, black, oblique from costa to base of reni- 

 form thence erect to inner margin, its mesial edge waved, distally tending to 

 produce a black suffusion which in some specimens extends to, or nearly to 

 the t. p. line; claviform absent; reniform not well defined, kidney shaped, usually 

 more or less blurred by a rufous suffusion; t. p. line black, erect on costa, 

 strongly excurved around cell, incurved below vein 4, produced to points on 

 the veins ; followed by a more or less obsolescent parallel narrow black shade 

 which tends to produce a "double" t. p. line in the best marked specimens; s. t. 

 line of the ground color, only slightly produced on veins 3, 4, bordered mesially 

 by a black shade and distally by the terminal space which is darkened by a 

 black powdering except near the apex; a terminal line of black dots between 

 the veins, more or less connected; fringe rufous-yellow at base, else grey inter- 

 rupted by a narrow, more or less obsolescent, pale interline. Secondaries : fus- 

 cous, somewhat paler basally especially in the males ; veins darker ; a disco- 

 cellular blackish crescent present ; fringe yellowish-white intersected by a grey 

 interline. Beneath: primaries pale fuscous-grey, some of the marking of the 

 upper side faintly showing thru ; secondaries similar, paler basally, with distinct 

 discocellular black crescent. Fringes as on upper side. 



Allied to annulipes and recticincta but darker than either, with 

 more heavily serrate antennae. More closely allied to liicida, some- 

 what darker, the antennal shaft somewhat heavier but the serrations 

 nearly the same. Differs from all allied species in the valves of the 



iEuxoa is here used in the sense of Hampson. Agrotis type segetuin, Hiibner, 1806, 

 Tentamen, will probably eventually be substituted.
