or the Comrade in the postscript to my communication on these 
insects (Trans. N. Y. S. Ag. Soc. vol. xiii, p. 187). This moth is 
of the same size with that of the Palmer worm and has the same 
black dots on the middle and apex of the fore wings, but the 
ground color of these wings is so very dissimilar as to separate it 
at once from that species. 
The Comrade of the Palmer worm moth has the fore wings dark brown on 
their inner sides and their outer half white, often tinged with tawny yellowish, 
and sprinkled with minute black atoms. When the insect is at rest this white 
color forms a broad stripe along each side. The inner edge of this stripe is 
well defined, and the stripe occupies all that part of the wing which is outside 
of the two outer dots of the four black ones near the middle of the wing, these 
two dots forming indentations upon its inner edge. Posteriorly the white 
stripe is gradually narrowed and ends in the fringe slightly forward of the tip; 
the fringe being black at the tip and yellowish white inside of this, becoming 
pale dusky towards the inner angle of the wing. On their under sides the fore 
wings are smoky and the fringe is blackish at the tip and pale dull yellow on 
each side of this. In all other points this moth is quite similar to that of the 
palmer worm. 
We have several other New-York species pertaining to the 
genus Cfuetoc/iilus. One of these is occasionally met with the 
latter part of June in the yards about our houses. It also is of 
an ash-gray color and has a white band near the tips ol its fore 
wings and three small pale yellowish spots on their outer 
edge beyond the middle, from which circumstance I propose 
naming it 
The triple spotted , ( C. tTimaculcllus'). It measures 0.65 across the wings 
when spread, is ash-gray and very glossy, the fore wings paler on the inner 
basal portion, black at their tips and on the outer margin towards their tips, 
and with a broad blackish streak through the middle, not reaching to the base. 
The surface of the lore wings is sparsely sprinkled with whitish scales, which 
forward of the tips become more numerous and condensed, forming an angu- 
lated white band, very obvious to the naked eye, shaped like the letter V with 
its angle towards the tip of the wing. This band ends on the outer margin in 
a somewhat triangular pale yellow spot, with a smaller spot of the same color 
beyond it, almost on the tip, and another forward of it, nearly on the middle 
of the outer edge. The fringe is black, with a row of small whitish spots on 
its base and larger ones opposite them on the outer edge. The hind wings are 
sooty, their outer margin broadly whitish except at the tip, and their fringe 
pale dusky with a band on its middle formed of black spots transversely con¬ 
fluent. The wings on their under sides are dark gray, the anterior pair slightly 
freckled with whitish and on their outer edge showing the three pale yellow 
spots which occur above. The body and legs are silvery white, the latter 
blackish on their outer sides with a white band at each of the joints of the feet. 
The feelers which project forward of the head are rather short and thick, of a
