terminal line vague ; the hiuder margin marked with black dots : inferior wings 
uniformly grey with whitish fringes preceded by vague black dots ; beneath they 
are whiter with a well-marked cellular spot and median shade. Thorax very 
robust, grey mixed with black, with a blackish line on the anterior part of tho 
collar. The head is darker, and so are the palpi, the last joint of which is long and 
truncated. Antennee strong, pectinated.

Alee anticce jvdverece, griseo-suhvirescentes, pimctis terminalibus nigrts, subtus

I have only one example of this Agrotis, which at first sight has the appearance 
of a Cymatophora allied to flavicornis. Superior wings somewhat dark grey, but 
entirely covered with long sulphur-coloured or greenish scales which obliterate all 
markings save the large black dots on the hinder margin ; however, with attention, 
one is able to see traces of the reniform stigma, and it is possible that, in better 
maz'ked individuals, the other markings would be visible ; the fringe is long, grey, 
with the extremity white : the inferior wings are uniformly grey, with the fringes 
likewise long, whitish, divided by a dark line : beneath, all the wings ,are greenish- 
grey, powdered with black atoms on the costa; the superior have in addition, imder 
the costa near the middle, a vague median cellular blotch, and a black dot at the 
base of the bristle. The thorax is broad, quadrate, dai-ker grey than the wings, 
like the head, without any line. Palpi very hairy ; the third joint thin, lost amid 
the hairs of the second. Antennae long, acute, and furnished with long ciliated 
laminae.

Al/s integrcB : anticce subviresceiiti-grisece, Uneis mediis serratis nigris,

The facies of this species is somewhat ambiguous, and its definite position de- 
pends upon the discovery of the larva. Perhaps it should be placed in the Hade- 
nidce near H. sodce. At present it appears best to locate it in its present position. 
It has some afiinity with M<imestra albicolon. 
Not larger than H. sodce. The thorax and superior wings testaceous-grey, with 
a greenish appearance ; all the markings are well defined, especially the elbow line, 
which is formed of little black lunules slightly separated ; the two ordinary spots 
are large, grey encircled with black ; the orbicular is round, marked with a sub- 
costal black dot ; the reniform broad, filled in with black below ; beneath it it ia 
the median shade which forms a series of zig-zags to the inner margin ; the sub- 
terminal line is slender, pale, sometimes preceded by small isolated black dots ; 
other dots, somewhat lunulate, pi-ecede the concolorous fringe : inferior blackish- 
grey, with terminal black dashes. Collar with a slight black line. Antcnnse thick, 
and, with the lens, thickened ciliated denticulations are perceptible. Abdomen 
without crests.
