 in the formation of the subcostal areole. Il ;ils<> differs in the long, some-

 not know ot any allied European species. The larva is nol known.

10 <? and 10 9. — Antenna' well pectinated, though less so than in F. 

 fimctaria, but more so than in F. truncataria. Fore wings a little produced 

 toward the apex, the outer edge either rather long and oblique, curving regu- 

 larly, or bent a little in the middle. Hind wings produced toward the apex, 

 much more so than in the group of the genus to which truncataria belongs. 

 Body and wings white, tinged on the veins with ochreous, and speckled and 

 banded with rust-brown, Antenna' dark, finely peppered with white scales. 

 Head brown, orbits and palpi white; thorax brown and while. Fore wings 

 whitish at base; beyond, a broad diffuse brown band as wide as the thorax 

 (often broken up and represented by scattered spots and patches). Beyond, 

 an equally broad white band, with scattered brown specks, and inclosing the 

 large, round, discal spot A broad extradiscal band (often narrow, irregular, 

 and broken up) separated by a white baud or line of varying width from the 

 brown margin of the wing. Fringe smoky-brown, with narrow white checks. 

 Hind wings white, usually less densely speckled and banded than the ante- 

 rior pair, sometimes with three irregular brown bands, two beyond the large 

 round discal dot ; a marginal brown line (these lines often effaced, and the 

 wing with scattered dots and scales, showing no disposition to be arranged 

 into lines). The marginal baud is sometimes wanting; the usual marginal 

 row of linear, nearly connected, dark spots is always present. Fringe white, 

 with faintly marked checks. Beneath, the wings are whiter and more ochre- 

 ous than above, but with the bands and spots repealed nearly as distinctly as 

 above. The extradiscal line is often most distinct on the inside, while the 

 submarginal white line is obsolete, the wing being flecked with brown on the 

 outer third. Abdomen and leys whitish.
