mouse-colored, with faint dark checks. Beneath as above, but more uniformly 

 mouse-colored, with the outer line as on the fore wings very faint, and no 

 markings on the hind wings, or with the outer line indistinct, but common 

 to both wings. Length of body, 3 , 0.55-0.G5 ; of fore wing, c? , 0.67-0.80 inch. 



The 9 individual figured on plate 11 (fig. 35), received from Alaska 

 through Mr. Behrens, is a remarkable form; but I will provisionally regard it 

 as a variety of the present species, having already described one too many in 

 this genus. It is dark, smoky, with the lines and discal dots very broad 

 and heavy. The inner line is slightly scalloped ; the outer is bent inward, 

 more on the costa than in pulchraria. The band on the hind wings is nearly 

 obsolete, and the discal dot is very large. Length of body, 0.60; of fore 

 wing, 0.'/5 ; expanse of wings, 2.00 inches. 



Larva and pupa. — Mr. W. Saunders has raised the moth from the larva 

 found by him on the pine. He states that "the larva is a geometer, and is 

 striped with red". The pupa (plate 13, fig. 13) is rather thick, white, 

 with a broad light-brown band along the back, becoming widest in the middle 

 of the body. There is also a narrow brown band along the side of the body, 

 and on the nnder»side of the abdomen are four longitudinal stripes of the 

 same color. The wings are slashed with light brown, and the antennae and 

 fore legs are concolorous, while the middle and hind legs are white. Length, 

 0.44 inch. ,

4 tf . — Body and wings ash-colored, or pepper-and-salt; vertex of head 

 pale ash. Fore wings crossed by two scalloped lines, the scallops rounded, 

 not pointed ; the basal line straight from the costa to the median vein, thence 

 curved inward to the inner edge of the wing; outer line begins on the outer 

 quarter of the costa, and follows a nearly straight course to the outer third 

 of the inner edge, there being no great curve above the third median venule, 

 as in C. pulchraria Minot of the Eastern States. Discal dot black. Hind 

 wings sometimes without any line; the wing is speckled with dark gray on 

 the outer third Beneath, the wings are uniformly ash-colored, the fore wings 

 scarcely darker than the hinder pair. No discal spots or other markings. 



Length of body, 0.55; of fore wing, 0.75; expanse of wings, 1.60 

 inches.
