3 9. — Like A. insulsa?-ia, the fore wings being triangular, the costa 

 very straight, and the hind wings short, but the outer edge of both wings is 

 fuller, and the moth is larger and stouter. Body and wings reddish-brown. 

 Head deep reddish, eoncolorous with the lore legs. Front, thorax, and costa 

 of fore wings with three well-marked, clay-yellow, much waved, nearly 

 parallel lines, eoncolorous with the yellowish costa; the inner line is bent 

 outward a little on the median vein and widens on the inner edge; the 

 middle line is nearer to the outer than the basal, and both middle and outer 

 lines are much waved, curving out below the costa and again on the second 

 median venule; the two outer lines arc edged irregularly with reddish; half- 

 way between thi' inner and middle line is a long clay-yellow discal streak; 

 a marginal row of (day-yellowish distinct dots. Fringe reddish. Hind wings 

 with three well-marked, clay-yellow, wavy lines, as on the fore wings, with a 

 marginal row of dots and reddish fringe. Beneath, yellowish flesh-colored, 

 tinged with reddish, especially on the outer edge of both wings; costa yel- 

 lowish ; no lines or discal dots. 



Length of body, 9, 0.32; of fore wing, 9, 0.40; expanse of wings, 

 0.80 inch. 



Demopolis, Ala., July (Grote). 



This well-marked species may be recognized by the resemblance in form 

 to the common A. insulsaria, by the reddish color, and the three common 

 wavy yellowish lines proceeding from the yellowish costa, and the marginal 

 yellowish dots I am indebted to Mr. Grote for type-specimens. It agrees 

 exactly with M. GrueneVs description.
