same median region is another subquadrate spot in the clavus seated on the 

 margin and generally limited interiorly l>y the anal vein, along which it 

 may send shunts in cither direction : at equal and not -Teat distance-; tnuu 

 the apical margin is another pair ol' Iran- , erse subquadrangular spots c]n>e 

 to but not fairly seated upon the costal margin and sntnra clavi, which are 

 sometimes connected by a narrow fringing band which lings the apical 

 margin, though this band is sometimes reduced to an apical cloud which 

 barely reaches the spots on either side. The spots may thus be designated as 

 basal, subbasal, median (costo-merlian, suturo-median, and clavo- median), 

 subapical, and apical. The neuration of the tegmina can rarely be distin- 

 guished except in the most general \v;,y as n-jjards the main veins, but 

 where the markings are most obscure, as in specimens which have some- 

 what of a bleached appearance, the minor iieuration of the apex of the 

 wings can be discovered faintly.

In this species, the only one yet found elsewhere than at. Florissant, 

 the markings of the tegmina are much the same as in P. maculata, but are 

 someuhat reduced, and, what is more remarkable, the <uhhasal spot is ab- 

 sent; this point seems to be sufficiently clear, though the outspread i 

 inina arc preserved in a fragmentary manner, curiously most perfect just 

 when- the spots occur, as though the pigment hoiv s ..... e part in their pn-- 

 ervation Xo veins are visible.
