"Closelv resembles tlic male of .1. .lenatorin in eolor. but the liiud wiiij^s are rounded as in 

 the female, not anyulated at apex and anal angle, and tlie t.-p. line is nuteh more obscure. 



••Female; wings purplish l)ro\vn. l)asal and terminal spaces darker; a white discal dot and 

 faint lilaokish strigi¥. Hind wings with a purplish mesial band. 



•"Darker than either St'iiatcrin ov stigma, the lines less distinct; wings opaque, not thinly 

 scaled as in virgin ie/if>/s. Types male and female, bred from lurva>. 



This species also diti'ers from ^-1. stigma in the exti'adiscal line passing nuiih nearer the 

 discal spot, and in being decidedly incurved. The white discal spot is smalltn- and the wings 

 more opaque. 



"Zanw. — Primary spines black, secondary granules sparse, white. Head shining red- 

 brown, width 3.5 to 4 mm. Body red-brown, a dorsal, subdorsal (i), lateral (iii), stigmatal. and 

 subvontral clouded black bands. Dorsal and stigmatal bands harp [dark ^J and narrow, the others 

 clouded, the subventral filling the whole space. All except the subventral are bordered by white 

 shaded lines on the lower side, that below the stigmatal line very distinct. All the lines become 

 obsolete on joint 12, leaving the anal end and all the feet red-l)rown. In large examples the 

 skin has a fleshy tint, difl'erent from the head and j)lates, while the shaded li-nes tend to be broken 

 at the primary spines." — (Dyar). 



Food plants. — Live oak. 



Habits. — Found liy Doctor Dyar on the live oak in January in company with those of 

 A. stigma, etc. The larva of this species is represented on PI. ^'. from a colored drawing made 

 by Mr. Joutel and kindly loaned me by Doctor Dyar.

Imago. — 10 S , 10 ? . The characters of this species are best brought out by a comparative 

 description, as the females of this and ^1. stigma are scarce!}' distinguishable. 



The S differs from that of ^1. stigma in the hind wings being distinctly triangular, the apex 

 being less rounded, and the outer edge of the wing not so convex, while the inner angle is 

 slightly produced: the wings reach only two-thirds of the length of the abdomen; they do not 

 extend back so far as in ^1. stigma. 



In one S from Rhode Island the line is fully as dark as in $ A. stigma from southern Illinois, 

 and the discal spot is as large. The connnon extradiscal line is quite heavy, being on the hind
