of the Peabody Academy is indebted for a number of rare specimens from 

 Northern California and Oregon", may at once be known by the reddish-ash 

 upper side of the body and the vermilion color of the under side of the 

 wings, by the absence of the usual line on the hind wings, and by t lie outer 

 line on primaries being diffuse, not sharply denned as usual.

4 9 and 1 <?. — Fore wings subfalcate (antennae wanting); palpi of 

 moderate length. Body and wings pale ochreous-gray, with a more luteous 

 tinge than in any other species known to me, dusted over with dark specks. 

 Fore wings with two well-marked pale-ochre'ous lines of equal width ; the 

 inner straight, often fading out before reaching the costa; the outer either 

 straight or slightly sinuous, being in one specimen curved outward rather 

 suddenly in the first median space, or swelling out gradually above it. Fringe 

 on both wings concolorous with the wings. Hind wings dusted conspicuously 

 with black, as in the anterior pair; a dark discal dot. The discal dot on the 

 anterior wings forming a black ringlet centered with white. Beneath, a little 

 paler than above, with finer black specks. The outer yellowish line is faintly 

 reproduced. Both wings are distinctly speckled with black scales; the discal 

 spot is on the fore wings, represented by a large diffuse collection of black 

 scales, with a much smaller one on the hind wings. Abdomen of male rather 

 long and slender. Legs with the hind tibiae swollen; hind tarsi half as long 

 as the tibiae. 



Length of body, 3 , 0.45, 9, 0.42; of fore wing, <?, 0.53, 9, 0.54; expanse 

 of wings, 1.00 inch.

This species may be distinguished from P. neptata by the lighter, more 

 clay-yellow (luteous) wings, the larger discal ringlets, the broad, pale, ochre- 

 ous, nearly straight, extradiscal line, by the want of any marginal black dots, 

 the absence of any dark shade along the extradiscal line. Midway between 

 the extradiscal line and the edge of the wing are three obscure dark patches. 

 Beneath, the wings are paler than above, but with no decided ochreous tinge. 

 I cannot identify it with any of M. GueneVs species.
