those of Eufidonia notataria more than any.other. species; but the hind wings 



are more mottled with brown, and there are three distinct lines ; it may also 



be identified by the forked, white, submarginal band sending one division to 



the costa and another to the apex. It seems to be rather infrequent, and has 



not yet occurred south of New England. It flies in the same localities with 



Eufidonia notataria as early as the middle of June in Maine, and for the rest 



of the month.

Male antennae well pectinated, almost plumose: front rather narrow; 

 vertex square. Palpi very short and thick, scarcely passing beyond the front. 

 Fore wings .with the costa straight; the apex slightly pointed ; outer edge 

 oblique; hind wings well rounded, the outer edge moderately full. Venation: 

 costal vein anastomosing with the subcostal near the middle of the inner, 

 small, lozenge-shaped subcostal cell; outer cell long and narrow; third sub- 

 costal branch very short, the apical cell being small. Discal venules trans- 

 verse, not oblique. Abdomen unusually stout, not very long. The coloration 

 is peculiar; the two species differing remarkably in this respect; in C. 

 divisaria, the ground-color being white, with a broad, brown, median band; 

 and in C. august i or ato, a rich, deep, yellow-ochreous, with white bands.

6 S and 1 9. — Antennas moderately and closely pectinated, rather dark. 

 Palpi not reaching as far as the front; fore wings with costa a little convex. 

 Body and wings whitish-gray, peppered with fine dark scales. Fore wings 

 dark at the base, being densely mottled with dark brown. A broad, middle, 

 dark band nearly twice as wide on the costa as on the inner edge; it is black 

 on the edges, lighter in the middle, with waved black strigse, and incloses a 

 large, oblong, oval, white spot; on the inside, the band is curved inward 

 toward the middle of the wing, and is sinuous in its course; it is bordered 

 externally with a broad white band. The outer side of the mesial band is 

 oblique, with deep, irregular scallops: there are three scallops on the costal
