All wings above, gray, faintly tinged with brownish, and frosted 

 with white scales, quite evenly distributed over the central portions 

 between extra basal and extra discal lines, and in broken patches along 

 costa of primaries, most conspicuous just beyond the inception of 

 the extra and intradiscal lines. A number of black hair lines, wavy 

 and much broken cross the wings. On costa of primaries these en- 

 large into spots and mark the beginning of four of the most con- 

 spicuous lines. The basal only one sixth out crosses costa, then turns 

 rapidly inward to base of wing. Two or three similar parallel lines 

 form the extra basal, starting one-third out from costa, after cross- 

 ing which, they turn sharply inward much waved and partly obliter- 

 ated centrally, but clear at inner margin. The intradiscal, a single 

 clear black line, crosses costa above discal mark, makes a sharp out- 

 ward angle enclosing it, and turning inward parallel to extra basal 

 lines, touches inner margin at centre. The extra discal with its ac- 

 companying geminate pale line, after crossing costa, angles sharply 

 outward and parallels the intra discal to inner margin, waved or scal- 

 loped between the veins. The subterminal line, not clear white, but 

 broad and much waved to anal angle, outwardly borders a greasy 

 brownish shade line. On all wings are fine, marginal black lines, 

 broken at veins, wi'th the fringes of ground color, long and spotted with 

 dusky opposite veins. Discal spots on primaries oval, or linear, partly 

 encircled with white scales, on secondaries small almost invisible dusky 

 dots. 



Secondaries with fine black cross lines evident at inner margin, but 

 not reaching across wing; the intra and extra discal with its geminate 

 pale line, being clearly defined. 



Body of ground color, the second segment white, its posterior bor- 

 der narrowly edged with black, third segment brownish anteriorly, 

 marked laterally with a large black spot; smaller lateral spots appear 

 on two or three succeeding segments. 



Beneath, the primaries are dusky, with cross lines broad and not 

 so definite, and the costa from base to extra discal, and lower terminal 

 space are powdered with white scales. Discal dots jet black, cres- 

 centic. Secondaries evenly powdered with white scales, thus throwing 

 into relief the black cross lines, especially in the $ type, where they are 

 continuous and enlarged at vein crossings. Discal dots evident, black. 

 Marginal lines and fringes as above. 



Types: A male and female from San Diego, Calif., the 

 former taken April 3, 1910, the latter March 31, 1910 (Rick- 

 seeker), and twelve co-types of both sexes from the same lo- 

 cality, are in the author's collection.
