their branches. It differs from L. anguilineata (Grote), to which it is very 

 closely. allied, by the sharper apex of the fore wings, its whitish-ash color, 

 wanting the green tint of anguilineata, though, in one specimen (from Penn- 

 sylvania), there is a yellowish-green tinge along the inner and outer lines. 

 'The discal do1 is much more linear, and often connected with the black streak 

 on the median vein, not present in L. anguilineata. The broad shade beyond 

 the extradiscal line is wanting in L. anguilineata, while the present species 

 wants the geminate, black patch in the middle of the outer margin. The 

 two species are very closely allied, but may be separated on these characters. 

 It varies considerably. The Pennsylvania specimen differs most from the 

 northern examples in having three large, dark, irregular, somewhat triangular, 

 costal spots, the middle one beginning the extradiscal line and ending as a 

 spot opposite the discal dot, There is also a large costal spot between the 

 costal termination of the basal and extradiscal lines. 



This may prove to be L. fusifasciata Walk., as remarked by Dr. Speyer 

 in a letter to Mr. Lintner.

1 <?. — This fine species is very similar to L. vernata, but differs in the 

 following particulars: The wing is clearer and more deeply tinged with green, 

 the markings are heavier, and the submarginal line is more sinuous, while it 

 is interrupted in the extradiscal space by two short, heavy, black, parallel 

 lines, which converge on their inner terminations.
