the inner margin of the wing. Outer line dusky fawn-brow n, oblique, curved 

 outward above and below inward to m eel the inner. Beyond, tbe wing is 

 shaded with ochreous-brown (with a few black specks) ; t his shade sometimes 

 extends to the border of the wing, interrupted by a submarginal row of 



irregular pale patches proceeding from the br I, apical, diffuse, pale patch. 



Discal dots black, distinct in both wings. Hind wings marked like the 

 anterior pair, the outer line situated just in the middle of the wing and 

 nearer t he discal dot than usual. Fringe fawn-brown. Beneath, a submar- 

 ginal scalloped fawn-brown line not reaching the hind edge, common to both 

 wings. (This and the meeting of the two lines on the fore wings above is 

 characteristic of this species.) The rest of the wings is paler than above, 



with less dense strigse, and darker along the costa. Discal dots distinct. 

 i he outer line on the fore wings faintly re-appears through. 



Length of body, £, 0.45-0.50; of fore wing, e?, 0.65-0.75; expanse 

 of wings, 1.50 inches. 



Mount Washington, "N. H., July (.Morrison): Philadelphia (Amer. Ent. 

 Soc.) ; Georgia (Harris Coll.). 



The two males from Philadelphia are much clearer above than Mr. 

 Grote's types, the hind wings being especially clear, with long linear strigae. 



This is a very well-marked species, and need not be confounded with 

 any other. The hind wings are distinctly "tailed", not sinuated, as in 

 madusaria, while the fore wings are distinctly excavated, but not dentate 

 below the apex, and they are shorter and broader than usual 



Larva. — Ramiform; head no wider than the body; a dorsal hump on 

 the third thoracic segment, in the middle of the bodv. and two on the end of 

 the body. Head rust-red. Body green, with three or four transverse red- 

 dish stripes on each abdominal ring. Pupa pale brown, speckled with black. 

 Food-plant / vularia perfoliata (described from Abbot's MS. drawing). It is 

 possible that the larva here figured may be that of Eutrapcla transversata, 

 or vice versa, compare tig. 20.
