2 <$ and 1 9. — In this species, the body is unusually stout, the antennae 



broadly pectinated, a little less so than in (J. plumosaria, and. the tip is simple, 

 the simple portion longer than in C. plumosaria; the wings are longer and 

 apex more acute than in any other species. Apex of the hind wings more pro- 

 duced than usual. Body and wings pale whitish-ash. Head brown, a white 

 line on the front edge, between and behind the antennae whitish; base of the 

 head next to the prothorax brown. Thorax white ; prothorax brownish. Fore 

 wings pale ash, with fine, parallel, black lines, very oblique and not curved, all 

 apparently not reaching the costa. Inner line double, broad, ending on the 

 inner edge half-way between the base of the wing and the third line; second, 

 third, and fourth close together; second very narrow; the third broad and more 

 distinct than any others; the fourth forming a broad shade parallel and close to 

 the third ; the fifth is more parallel to the margin. Discal dot round, distinct. 

 Hind wings with five lines, all disappearing before the costa; the inner diffuse 

 and a little curved, the second the most distinct and ending on the discal dot, 

 which is merged with it; the three beyond are diffuse bands, the outer form- 

 ing the margin of the wing, and twice as wide as the fourth. Abdomen 

 with the segments edged with white, with an inner black streak. Legs ash; 

 fore pair a little dusky within. Beneath uniformly dull ash, with no lines 

 and very faint discal dots. 



Length of body, <J, 0.45, 9, 0.42; of fore wings, S, 0.58, 9, 0.52; 

 expanse of wings, 1.25 inches. 



Texas, March 7, April 28, May 13 (Belfrage). 



This singular species may be readily recognized by the broadly-pec- 

 tinated antennas, the pointed fore wings, the five parallel straight lines, though 

 oblique in their course, and the alternating white and dark linear bands on 

 the abdomen.
