T. spinosa B. c& McD. (12 d). Thorax grey, collar yellowish; forewing purple brown, strewn with *pinona. 
ochreous, with indistinct transverse lines which are double and blackish; only the undulate line is distinctly 
prominent, extending like in the preceding straight from the apex to the anal angle, light ochreous; both the 
upper maculae are deep purple brown, surrounded with ochreous, Hindwing dark brownish-grey, with yellowish 
fringes. Expanse of wings: 30 mm. Described according to 2 from Arizona. 
T. aselenograpta Dyar. Costal margin loamy yellowish-grey, a similar stripe below the cell as far aseleno- 
as close to the margin behind the cell connected with the costal stripe, below it a black basal ray; a velvety !/ra > 
black wedge-shaped spot fills up the cell except the base, a black submedian stripe extends close to the margin; 
the undulate line is straight, light, distally edged with brown, before it a spot, on the median veins dentate; 
marginal area slaty grey, fringes and proximal margin purple grey. Hindwing brownish-grey with a darker 
discal luna. Expanse of wings: 30 mm. Mexico (Hidalgo). 
T. clarkana Dyar. Forewing ochreous-grey, the veins, particularly the median dark brownish-grey; clarkuna 
instead of the ring-macula a dot, instead of the reniform macula at the lower cell-end a small white spot, partly 
encircled with black; the undulate line is straight, white and proximally bordered with a brownish grey, the 
marginal area behind it is very narrow with fine black marginal dots. Hindwing brownish-grey with a dark 
discal luna. Expanse of wings: 30 mm. Mexico (Hidalgo). 
29. Genus: MJmobaraihra B. u. McD. 
Allied to the preceding genus and also with hairy eyes; thorax covered with loose, spatulate scales, 
with a parted tuft on the metathorax and a small tuft on the first abdominal ring; antennae composed of 
imbricately arranged joints showing lateral appendices, so that the antenna almost looks combed; middle and 
posterior tibiae spined, anterior tibiae without spines. Only one species: 
M. antonito Barnes (12 d). Grey with a greenish-yellow tint, in some places dusted with brown; trails- antonitu. 
verse lines irregularly double, filled up with whitish, undulate line white, interrupted, behind it shaded with 
black, forming a W; maculae large, light, pupilled darker. Hindwing brownish grey. Arizona (Huachuca Mts.). 
30. Genus: jVIytlsimua 0 . 
This genus shows exactly the same anatomical marks as Epipsilia, but the anterior tibiae are without 
spines and instead of them long-haired. Comp. Vol. Ill, p. 61. 
M. olivata Harv. (= blanda Grt., taedata Grt., decepta Grt.) (12 c). Forewing varying from greyish- olivata. 
brown to chestnut-brown, somewhat strewn with black, with 2 blackish transverse lines on the averted sides 
bordered with grey or whitish, and darker, light-ringed maculae; the posterior transverse line consists more 
of dots, and also the light undulate line is proximally bordered by a dark row of dots. Hindwing light reddish- 
grey or brownish-grey. Canada, United States to California. 
M. lobato Barnes (12 d). Ground-colour very light reddish-buff, with very feeble, almost straight lobaio. 
transverse lines, the posterior line proximally accompanied by small brown dots on the veins, somewhat lighter 
than the ground; in the same way the equally coloured maculae are surrounded, so that they are hardly pro¬ 
minent, both being above open. Hindwing diaphanous white with faintly yellowish fringes. Arizona (Chiricahua 
Mts.). It presumably coincides with Agrotis hahama (9 g). 
M. oxalina Hbn. ( = intexta Harr.) (Vol. Ill, t. 14 e) is a species widely distributed in the pale- oxalina. 
arctic region (comp. Vol. Ill, p. 62), occurring also in the United States (New York); brown, dusted with grey, 
with the somewhat darker discal area edged by the straight, light transverse lines, with large maculae sur¬ 
rounded with light being situate therein. 
31. Genus: Matuta Grt. 
This genus which is better known as Enrols or Aplecta diffe:s from the very closely allied Anomogyna 
by the more smoothly scaled and haired thorax, the second, anteriorly haired not scaled palpal joint, whereas 
the third is short and porrect. 
M. youngi 8m. (12 c). Forewing changing from reddish grey to blackish brown, strewn with black, youmji. 
with distinct markings; transverse lines double, filled up with a light grey, the maculae large, in yellowish or 
grey rings; the undulate line is yellowish or grey, irregular, punctiform, proximally shaded dark, the marginal 
area behind it mostly lighter. Hindwing blackish brown, towards the margin more reddish. From Canada.
