 dusky bands, of nearly equal width, angulated on the median space, and 



Scalloped on the edges, which arc black; those of the .second and third 



bordered with white. The second and third, with the band between, form a 

 central, dusky band, occupying the middle third of the wing, and containing 



an indistinct, brown, discal dot ; the outer edge of the hand is less angulated 



than in the two preceding species, and consists of three large scallops, being 

 straight on the costal and suhcostal region. A submarginal row of brown 

 patches, margined externally with white points; toward the apex are three 

 longitudinal black streaks, with an oblique, black, apical streak, interrupted 

 )>y the venules. A row of marginal black dots. Fringe brown, pale at base, 

 and checkered with dusky spots. Hind wings tawny, rather dusky on inner 

 two-thirds, with the usual marginal row of fine, black dots. Beneath, ochre- 

 ous dusky on the inner two-thirds of wings ; the outer edge of the dusky area 

 indented on the independent vein, and going from the second median 

 obliquely inward. Two minute, black patches on the costa ; near the apex 

 an apical black spot. Fringe checkered with dusky spots.

California (Edwards); Mendocino City (A. Agassiz, Mus. Comp. Zool). 



Two specimens from Mendocino City (received from Mr. Behrens) are 

 larger than usual, with the inner brown band more zigzag, and a distinct line 

 on the upper side of the hind wings'. 



Th i s diminutive species seems more nearly allied in its style of markings 

 to /'. prunata than any other. We have nothing like it east of the Rocky 

 Mountains.

 on the sides; head beneath luteous. Fore wings black, with a subbasal, 

 broad, whitish hand, angulated on the median vein, and with smaller, very 

 acutely-produced angles on the veins; on each side, in the middle, the sides 

 formed of white lines, are intervenular dark patches; a broad, mesial, black

 dot very black; from the first median interspace to the costa the outer line
