zigzag line, with the scallops filial in with large black spots; six more prom- 

 inent, two subcostal, two extradiscal, from which a dusky shade is senl to the

 dots very distinct. Fringe concolorous with the wing. Hind wings as in 

 the anterior pair; a broad, diffuse, faint band just within the conspicuous 

 discal dot. The line beyond slightly wavy, not reaching the costa; otherwise

 the surface more or less mottled, discal dots distinct, with abroad, diffuse, 

 smoky, marginal shade on both wings. Abdomen not spotted above. Two 

 fore pairs of legs alternately banded externally with black and ashen; hind

This common species may be at once known by its large size, the long, 

 swollen, somewhat flattened, hind tibiae, and short tarsi, and by the heavily- 

 speckled fore wings and the heavy lines. The California!! examples do not 

 differ from eastern oiks. 



There are two races: one brown-ash, 'with the wings thickly dusted, 

 while in the other the wings are clearer and tinged with reddish-brown, while 

 the submarginal rgw of white dots, with a black dot on the inner side, is quite 

 conspicuous.
