NORTH AMERICAN NOCTVIDAEâSMITH AND DYAR. 139 or smoky, more or less powdery, and with a more or less obvious outer line and discal spot Kxpnnse, to .40 inches (30 to 35 mm.). Habitat.âMassachusetts to Minnesota, to Texas; central New York, June and July; Washington, District of Columbia, in June; Texas, July and August. This species is 8*^111 paler than ovata^ which it resembles by the peculiar reddish yellow shading in the wing and to which it is very closely allied. It is a small species, however, and slighter, though the range of size overlaps. The wings are narrower as a whole. In this species the transverse anterior line, while it may be somewhat drawn in at its middle, is as a whole oblique and never prominently filled with blackish scales. The basal streak which is so prominent in ovata is in this species almost entirely wanting. There is little variation in the examples before me, and it is only a question of more or less yellow and perhaps a little difference in size. Walker's description of the species fits this very well and fits nothing else known to me. Mr. Butler's suggestion that this is the same as Mr. (xrote's exUin I believe to be correct. Where there are only two or three examples illustrating extremes, it may be possible to doubt tha
