S. kelloggi Echo. (29 d). Forewing white, irrorated and thickly strewn with blackish-brown, with black Jcelloggi. 
transverse lines, small maculae, the reniform macula being a faded white spot; the white undulate line is 
proximally irrorated with black, with small black sagittae in front of it. Fringes speckled. Hindwing blackish- 
brown with a white median band and a black median spot and veins therein. California. 
S. lapponica Thnbg. ( = tenebricosa Mschlr.) (Vol. Ill, p. 255, pi. 50 e). This small species with exten- lapponica. 
sively wdiite-irrorated forewings with intense black transverse lines, minute white maculae, and blackish- 
brown hindwings with a whitish costal-marginal spot also flies in Greenland and Canada. — The grey or 
red-brown larva with black dorsal spots lives on Vaccinium and birch-trees. 
S. zetterstedti Stgr. (Vol. Ill, p. 255, pi. 50 e) differs in much less white-irrorated forewings, and like- zetterstedti. 
wise flies in Greenland and Canada. — The form labradoris Stgr. has on the forewing a much larger white post- labrador Is. 
median spot extending to the lower median branch. 
S. funesta Payk. (= funebris Hbn.) (Vol. Ill, p. 255, pi. 50 e) is irrorated with grey on the blackish- funesta. 
brown forewing except the central area, with thick black transverse lines and small, grey ringed maculae. 
Hindwing cpiite blackish-brown with white fringes. From Labrador. •— f. cockleyi Dyar was described as Homo- cockleyi. 
h-adena ; its maculae are almost entirely absent, and the postmedian area is much lighter. British Columbia. 
55. Genus: Harpaglaea Hmps. 
Thorax purely clad with hair, the collar in the centre with a slight keel, the prothorax with a triangular 
tuft; anterior tarsi with 5 bent, claw-shaped spines on the outside of the first joint. Abdomen flattened without 
tufts, but with lateral hair. The genus is exclusively American. 
H. sericea Morr. (= venustula Grt.) (29 d) is purple grey, irrorated with red-brown and strewn with sericea. 
black, with whitish veins; at the hindmargin whitish; transverse lines whitish, on the inverted sides bordered 
with blackish-brown, the maculae also in whitish rings, the reniform macula below centred blackish; the whitish 
undulate line is proximally bordered with red-brown, distally with blackish. Hindwing lustrous brownish- 
black with reddish fringes. United States. 
H. tremula Harv. (29 e) is similarly marked, but the veins are not striped whitish, at most somewhat tremula. 
in the marginal area, also the transverse lines are plainly brown, and the maculae surrounded with brown. 
Texas. 
H. pastillicans Morr. (29 d) is only red-brown at the costal margin and hindmargin, otherwise purple- pastillicans. 
grey, strewn with black, marked like tremula. with plain brown transverse lines. United States to Pennsylvania. 
56. Genus: Hpiglaea Grt. 
Separated from the preceding genus by the absence of the tarsal spines, all the rest the same. Only 
2 species: 
E. decliva Grt. (= delecta Grt.) (29 e). Forewing red-brown, somewhat irrorated with grey, with decliva. 
dark transverse lines bordered with a somewhat lighter colour, with large maculae surrounded by whitish, 
between them a faded median shadow, the reniform macula below dark-pupilled; behind the distal transverse 
line dark vein-dots; the whitish undulate line is proximally bordered with red-brown. Hindwing on the pinkish- 
reddish ground densely irrorated with blackish-brown, fringes pink. Canada; Eastern and Central States; 
Central America. 
E. apiata Grt. (29 e) is smaller than decliva, of a brighter red-brown colour, otherwise similarly marked, apiata. 
but the posterior transverse line is not dentate and without vein-dots behind it. Maculae surrounded with 
a darker red-brown colour. Central States. 
57. Genus: PseetragLiea Hmps. 
In the structure entirely like Harpaglaea with the same spines on the outside of the first joint of the 
anterior tarsus, but without the triangular tuft on the thorax. But one species, since olivata Harv., which is 
reckoned hereto by others, belongs to the Agrotids owing to its spined tibiae. 
P. camosa Grt. (29 h). Forewing olive-brown, irrorated with crimson, with hardly traceable transverse carnosa. 
lines, the maculae feebly surrounded with yellowish, the undulate line being also yellowish; the head is con¬ 
trastingly reddish-yellow, with a crimson tint. United States (Maine, Massachusetts, New York). 
P. pilifera Wkr., from the remote Island of Tristan d’Acunha, is smaller, with dark red-brown forewings pilifera. 
being tinged with blackish in the costal area, but otherwise very feebly marked. Hindwing ochreous with a 
dark brown marginal area.
