Like the preceding, bat reddish, with deep, conspicuous, red, wavy lines I. rubrolineata. 



Like 5-lineata, but wings blunter, and outer edge of hind wings rounded ; two 



outer lines on fore wings, much nearer together than usual; white 1. subaliata. 



Wings subfaleat.e, white, with five dusky lines on the fore wings; four com-

12 £ and 20 9. — Of small size, with heavily-ciliated male antennae; 

 the fore wings long and narrow, outer edge long, oblique, quite full; hind 

 wings produced considerably toward the well-rounded apex. Body and wings 

 uniformly ash-gray. Fore wings with three blackish extradiscal lines common 

 to both wings; a basal, dark, well-marked line, sometimes situated half-way 

 between the base of the wing and the first extradiscal line, sometimes much 

 nearer the latter; it is bent at right angles on the subcostal vein. The first 

 extradiscal line is more or less sinuate, heavier, sometimes much broader than 

 the other lines, and varying slightly in its distance from the distinct, round, 

 black discal dot; the next line is linear, wavy, parallel to the first extradiscal 

 line,- and either a continuous line, or scalloped, or formed by a series of black 

 dots; the next line is a submarginal shade, parallel with the outer edge of 

 the wing, slightly diverging toward the costa from the second extradiscal line ; 

 fringe on both wings concolorous with the rest of the wing. Hind wings 

 with the outer edge rounded, not bent; discal dot situated on the inner third 

 of the wing, no lines within it. Beyond it are three lines, sinuous and par- 

 allel to each other, the outer one parallel with the outer edge of the wing; 

 the lines are as on the fore wings; the innermost either runs just beyond the 

 discal dot, or it nearly touches it and sometimes nearly includes it. Beneath, 

 a little dusky, otherwise the same as above, with the three lines well marked, 

 and hardly less clear than above, contiguous to each other and common to 

 both wings (the second one often heavier than the others) ; marginal row of 

 black dots as on the upper side. Hind legs either well developed, with the 

 tarsi very long and equaling the tibiae in length, or sometimes partially aborted, 

 short and small, not half as long as the middle pair; tarsi a little shorter,
