This species is deeper brick-red than usual, and the scales on the palpi 

 arc longer and more spreading than usual, with lour brick-red lines crossing 

 the fore wings; the middle line on hind wings is much more waved than in 

 A. californiata. 11 is very closely allied to A. sentinaria.

1 cf and 1 9. — Allied in general form to A. 5-lineata, bill with the apex 

 of lore wings much blunter, with Ihe hind wings much shorter, and with the 

 outer edge rounded instead of angulated. Head and antenna' white; front 

 with a broad black bandjusl below the insertion of antenna', which are well 

 pectinated in the male. ('ream-colored, being whitish, with a very (hint 

 ochreous tinge, whiter and less speckled, with darker scales than A. 5-lineata. 

 Primaries crossed by three light-brown lines, the basal slightly curved, farther 

 from the base, of the wing than usual. The two outer lines much nearer 

 together than usual, the inner one being narrower and less distinct; both are 

 less oblique than usual, and not waved. Discal dot obsolete. Hind wings 

 with a discal dot, and beyond the two parallel outer lines the same as on the 

 hind wings. Both wings with a narrow black line at base of the whitish 

 fringe. Beneath, cream-white; discal dots distinct on both wings, those on the 

 primaries largest ; beyond them, a common, diffuse, dusky line, straight on the 

 fore win^s. A tine, narrow, brown line at base of fringe. Legs white; fore 

 femora and tibiae blackish in front.

In this species, the wings are clearer whitish than common, especially on 

 the under side, and the two outer lines are nearer together than usual, while the 

 hind wings are shorter, and with the outer edge less convex than usual in those 

 species ill which the hind wings are rounded instead of angulated. The male 

 antenna' are well pectinated, an unusual exception to their ordinary form in 

 this genus.
