2 <? . — This species has the style of markings oi a Petrophorai not hav- 

 ing the numerous straight, wavy lines of Phifcalapteryx. Palpi unusually 

 long, beak-like. Fore wings produced toward the apex, which is, however, 

 rather more rounded than usual. Hind wings more produced toward the 

 apex than usual. Body and wings pale ash. Fore wings dull ash at base, 

 and with a broad llesh colored band, contracted on the submedian vein, where 

 it is edged on both sides with black; the flesh-color is less distinct on the 

 costa, where there are gray streaks; a broad, dark, cinereous band crosses 

 the middle of the wing, darker on the edges, and with a series of obscure 

 ringlets along the middle ; the outer edge has three scallops in the middle, 

 larger and projecting more than the others; beyond this band, the wing is 

 flesh-colored again, with a fine series of black venular dots in the middle of 

 the carneous band ; the latter is bordered externally by a fine, white, scal- 

 loped line; a row of fine black twin spots along the edge; fringe dark cine- 

 reous, interrupted by darker, slightly-marked, venular spots. Hind wings 

 whitish-ash, with three obscure scalloped lines, the outer one being the heavi- 

 est, dark cinereous, and edged with snow-white externally; a faint discal dot; 

 edge of wing with a conspicuous, interrupted, black line; fringe pale ash. 

 Abdomen with a row of dark dorsal spots, as usual in the genus. Two ante- 

 rior pairs of legs, gray, ringed with white. Beneath gray, densely speckled 

 with darker scales ; discal dots large and distinct on both wings; a square, 

 blackish, costal spot on the basal third of the wing; another over the discal 

 dot; a dark shade crosses the outer third of the wing, ending in a dark costal 

 shade; a submarginal row of dark intervenular patches, lined externally with 

 white scallops ; fringe as above. Hind wings much more speckled than usual, 

 with three scalloped lines, the outermost, very heavy and conspicuous. 



Length of body, 0.42; of fore wing, 0.53 ; expanse of wings, 0.95-1.00 

 inch. 



( lalifornia (Edwards). 



This form may be recognized by the two broad flesh-colored bands on 

 the primaries, the long, large palpi, and the heavy outer line of scallops on the 

 under side of the secondaries.
