California (Edwards); Victoria, Vancouver Is. (Crotch). 



This seems to be a larger species than the two eastern ones, and differs 

 in the onicr line being nearly straight in its course, the scallops being well 

 rounded, and in having no line on the hind wings, and no markings apparent 

 on the under side of either pair. The lore wings are sometimes much pro- 

 duced at the apex as in the race or variety pellucidaria. The antennae are 

 broadly pectinated, as usual. 



Specimens received from Victoria, Vancouver's Island, through Mr. 

 Crotch (Mus. Comp. Z06L), are very light, and have the inner line on the 

 lore wings scalloped much as in pulchraria] while the outer line arises very 

 near the apex, being very oblique. < )n the hind wings, there is an extradiscal 

 line, bent outward in the middle, much as in the fore wings. It is one of 

 these specimens which is figured on the plate (fig. 33).

2 <? and 2 9. — Wings rather thicker and darker than in the other two 

 species. Head and body dark ash-gray. Fore wings uniformly dusky-ash, 

 the inner line scalloped, sending out a point on each vein, curved outward 

 much as usual. Discal dot distinct. The extradiscal line is much less 

 oblique than in the other species, there being a rectangular bend in the discal 

 space, and from thence running straight to the inner edge of the wing, though 

 the line is scalloped. A submarginal, faint, wavy line The principal dis- 

 tinguishing mark of the species are the black veins, the black portions not 

 present within the basal line, and beyond this being interrupted by (he 

 transverse lines. Hind wings immaculate, being uniformly clear smoky- 

 ashen, and concolorous with the under side of both wings. 



Length of body, <J , 0.58, 9, 0.60; of fore wing, <?, 0.75, 9, 0.78; 

 expanse of wings, 1.50 inches.
