1 6 — Pale pea-green. Front reddish above, below white ; palpi reddish 

 on the outer half; antennae pectinated as usual. Wings of the usual form; 

 fore wings white on the costa ; the'two lines remote ; the inner very near the 

 base of wing, a little curved and slightly waved. Outer line rather broader 

 than usual, at the same distance from outer edge as usual, slightly bent before 

 reaching the costa. Hind wings with no basal line; the outer line rather 

 broad, bent in the middle, not rounded, as in the two other species of its size, 

 but much as in A. mimosaria. Fringe whitish, nearly concolorous with the 

 lines. Abdomen with a round white spot at base. Beneath whitish, green 

 on costal half of fore wings, with the line faintly reproduced. 



Length of body, 0.42; fore wing, 0.50; expanse of wings, 1.05 inches. 



Albany, N. Y. (Lintner). 



This delicate species may be known by the front being half red and 

 half white, by the outer line being rather broader and the two lines on fore 

 wings rather farther apart than usual; also by the single line on the hind 

 wings being angulated, not curved in the middle. In this respect, it differs 

 from the two other species of its size, A. rubrolinearia and A. approximaria.

1 9. — Wings much as usual, though the fore wings are broader and the 

 hind wings more rounded and less angulated than in the female of A. mimo- 

 saria. Front and outer half of palpi reddish-brown. Fore wings white on 

 the costa, as usual; the two white lines much nearer together than in any 

 other species, the inner line being remote from the base, ending nearly in the 

 middle of the hind edge; it is scarcely curved, and with a slight angle on 

 the median vein ; outer line farther from the edge than usual, not waved, 

 bent slightly before reaching the costa. Hind wings with inner line almost 

 obsolete ; outer line much nearer middle of wing than usual, curved, not bent 

 so much as in the other three species known to me. Fringe green, nearly 

 concolorous with the body. Beneath, both wings greener than in any of the 

 other species, with faint traces of the outer line on the fore wings. Two 

 anterior pairs of legs, bathed in pale brown. Abdomen greenish on basal 

 half, with a dorsal pale line.
