1o four lilies on the love wings, < lie wings beneath more or loss reddish in 

 some species. 



This genus may he identified by the very heavily-pectinated male 

 antennae, ihe long, very slender palpi, and the high-colored under side of the 

 wings of the larger species. 



Synopsis of the Species. 



Whitish straw-color, will) four pale-brown lines A. 4-fasciaria. 



Whitish ocbreous, often thickly speckled with brown scales, a straight outer line ending 



on the ape&, (he wing often brown beyond A. pervaria.

the costa is much more convex, while the outer edge is less so, and the hind 



wings are not so fully rounded. Body and wings uniformly pale yellow- 



ochreous, fringe concolorous. Fore wings crossed by four faint darker bands, 



straight, parallel, the second in the middle of the wing the widest; the two 



outer ones nearer together than either of the others, the fourth band not 



reaching the apex, and narrower than the others. On the hind wings three 



similar bands. Beneath as above, with the lines reproduced and not much 



less distinct than above. 



Length of body, J, 0.46; of fore wing, c?, 0.^7; expanse of wings, 1.20 

 inches.

 Survey). 



This species differs so much from any others we have that its pale 

 ochreous color, without any dark spicks above or below, and the four slightly 

 oblique parallel bands, will enable one easily to determine it.
