terminating on the costa, nearly twice as far from the insertion of the wing 

 as on the inner margin. The middle line is faint, and passes over the site of 

 the discal spot. The outer line is nearly straight in its oblique course, not 

 sinuous, though sometimes very slightly so, and is closely accompanied by a 

 less distinct dark line, beyond which is a faint dusky shade reaching half-way 

 between the line and the edge of the wing. A slender, interrupted, marginal, 

 black line. Hind wings with two approximate black lines just beyond the 

 middle of the wing, starting from the inner edge and fading out (in my spe- 

 cimens) before reaching the middle of the wing. Beneath, no lines, and the 

 discal dots obsolete. Both wings are mottled with white and clouded toward 

 the outer margin. Hind tibiae swollen ; tarsi a little longer than usual. 



Length of body, 9, 0.40; of fore wing, 9, 0.4 G ; expanse of wings, 1.05 

 inches.

This interesting species, which by mistake I had referred to Semiothisa 

 (Macaria), is in its venation and markings a true Phasiane. It may be distin- 

 guished from P. orillata by the more oblique and straight lines, the basal 

 not being curved, and the double extradiscal not sinuous, while the wings 

 are narrower and the outer edge less full and rather more oblique.

2 3 and 3 9. — This species is intermediate in form and style of mark- 

 ings between P. exeurvaria and P. atrofasciata. Male antennae simple, cili- 

 ated. The fore wings are not subfalcate, the costa being very straight; the 

 apex subacute and less convex than usual. On the other hand, the wings are 

 broader than in P. atrofasciata, though of much the same shape. Body and 

 wings granite-gray, of the same tint as the above-named species. Fore wings 

 with two strongly-marked, conspicuous, heavy, black lines, the inner curved 

 regularly outward and situated on the inner third of the wing. The outer 

 (extradiscal) line is sinuate, with a decided angle below the costal region, 

 nearly opposite the discal dot. A faint brown shade along the outer side 

 of the extradiscal line. A faint middle line including the small discal dot, 

 which is a simple black dot, not forming a circle. A marginal series of elon- 

 gated linear spots, much as in /'. atrofasciata. Hind wings concolorous with
