Extract

Both sexes of a species of Pachnobia have been collected by Mr. Geo Norman, at Orilla, which I propose to call by the name of orilliana. It is evidently allied to Agrotis hyperborea, which I know only from Milliére's and Herrich-Schaeffer's illustrations. It looks at first sight like a species of Graphiphora (Taeniocampa).

All the tibiae are spinose. The head is sunken, eyes naked, abdomen short. The wings are wide, the male antennae shortly pectinate, serose. The color is not unlike that of Graph. incerta, but more olivaceous.
