marginal black points. Fringe not checkered, concolorous with rest of wing. 

 Hind wing like tore wing, sometimes a faini median line of dots shaded within 

 with pale ochreous, sometimes the wing is slightly paler than the fore pair. 

 A marginal row of black dots. Beneath, tinged with ochreous, especially on 

 the veins; wing speckled rather sparsely though regularly. An outer line 

 of brown dots common to both wings. A submarginal brown line from costa 

 to near middle of wing. Diseal dots conspicuous, elongate on anterior pair. 

 Fringe paler than wings beneath. Legs concolorous with the head. 



Length of body, J, 0.50, 9, 0.48; of fore wing, <?, 0.62, 9, 0.64; ex-

This species may be known by the faint markings, the slightly-marked 

 lines, and its pale shade; by the partial submarginal line on the under side of 

 the fore wings and the whitish fringe. It varies in tint, one specimen from 

 Maine being quite pale, whitish.

1 <? and 2 9. — Closely allied to L. detersata, but apex of fore wings more 

 acute, and outer edge somewhat bent; thus structurally it is nearer to L. 

 defluata, but in the markings is nearer L. detersata. Body and wings lilac- 

 ash, with scattered black speckles. Head, palpi, and antennae with a reddish 

 tinge. Fore wings with a curved, very irregular band, consisting of a few 

 black scales, thickest on the median interspace; an outer, very slightly curved 

 line of similar Mack dots, single toward the costa, the line inside shaded with 

 brown, fading out toward the inner line, and not discoloring the costa. A 

 faint diseal black dot. Margin of wing beyond the outer line brown; apex 

 clear lilac-ash. Hind wings just as fore wings; no inner line; outer line con- 

 sisting of a single row of black dots. Fringe concolorous with the wing. 

 Beneath, much as usual in the genus; the surface of both wings alike lilac- 

 ash, and uniformly speckled with black veins, less ochreous than usual; diseal 

 dots black on both wings, sinuate on hind wings. Outer row of black dots 

 common to both wings; wings slightly clearer outside of each dot. Legs
