 length before the fork of Al. 



Abdominal tergites brown, the caudal margins of the segments pale ; 

 sternites whitish with a conspicuous brown lateral line. Male hypo- 

 pygium with three pleural appendages, the longest and most conspicu- 

 ous appearing as a relatively short, blackened blade that terminates in 

 an acute, slightly curved, blackened point; the second appendage is pale, 

 about one-half the length of the first, the blunt tip narrowed; the third 

 appendage is very squat in appearance, broader than long, with about 

 a dozen setae on the surface, excluding two longer and more powerful 

 bristles at the proximo-caudal angle. Penis-guard broad, fleshy, pale.

SUBFAMILY NOUNAK. 

 Rrcse~ : a varip. n. sp. 



General color dark gray to brownish gray, with a variable hoary 

 irroration due to the white tips of some scales. Thorax and head more 

 definitely whitish. Collar with two transverse whitish lines, variably 

 distinct. Palpi dark outside, pale within, exceeding front by about 

 length of head. Under surface and abdomen silky pale gray. Legs 

 similar inside, irrorate with gray outside. Tarsi darker with each 

 joint pale tipped. 



Basal area of primaries grayish, darker toward costa, with an incon- 

 spicuous tuft of raised scales in the cell. T. a. line single, dark, strongly 

 out-curved over cubital stem and becoming straighter toward inner 

 margin, sometimes slightly irregular. T. p. line geminate, outer line 

 dark gray or blackish, sharply but not deeply dentate on vein 1 -, strongly 

 outcurved from costa to vein (\i2, thence with a large out .van! ai 

 on vein A; inner line rather remote from oute", evei . paler and ' 

 sharp, following course of outer, sometimes very faint, and sometimes 

 a little heavier on the veins. Median shade indicated by two costal dots. 

 whence a brownish gray shade extends inward, including two >i-ale 

 tufts in cell, filling the median space behind the cell and becoming paler 

 toward the inner margin. This shade is sometimes conspicuous and 

 sometimes rather faint. S. T. space similar to basal with a pale, irregu- 

 lar, vaguely defined s. t. line about midway between t. p. and outei 

 margin and following roughly the course of the t. p. veins here some-
