entire. Fringes long dusk}', cut sharply with dark brown at ends of 

 veins. 



Hind wings paler costally, the cross lines fading out except the dis- 

 cal and extra discal, both crossing the wing in regular curves, to inner 

 margin, the latter and its succeeding pale lines, well marked. Sub- 

 terminal space darker, narrow, traversed centrally, as in fore wings, 

 with a clear white waved line. Fringes as on fore wings. Discal 

 dots on all wings small black, wanting in some examples. Beneath, 

 pale ash gray, the lines above distinctly reproduced, especially the ex- 

 tra discal, and a subterminal shade line which are black at costa on 

 fore wings. Discal spots linear, black, very distinct. Hind wings with 

 cross lines diffuse, the discal boldly angled outward at cell turns sharp- 

 ly backward to inner margin, intradiscal rounded to discal spot which 

 it includes, thence parallel with discal line to margin, extra discal 

 starting from costa with strong outward curve encircles discal spot 

 thence straight to inner margin, and subterminal, parallel with margin, 

 these latter as in fore wings most distinct; discal dots round, black, 

 prominent. Body beneath and legs pale ashen. 



Type $ and 2 taken in Big Indian Valley, Catskill Moun- 

 tains, the former, May 5, '07, the latter April 29, '07, together 

 with 18 co-types in both sexes in my collection. 



I have received this species from Mr. F. A. Merrick, New 

 Brighton, Pennsylvania and from Massachusetts. It resembles 

 palpata but is smaller. From that species it differs in having 

 the pale line near base of abdomen and its tip beneath not dark. 

 Its striking features are prominence of the extra discal and 

 pale lines above on all wings, and by the short inner margin 

 of hind wings which causes the lines to run from it almost 

 laterally for half their length, the anal angle being nearly ob- 

 literated. 



After a long period of obscurity Eup. coagulata Guen. has 

 been separated from geminata Pack., but there still remain 

 under the latter name two distinct species, not difficult of 

 separation with good series of specimens. To which be- 

 long the name of geminata? In Dr. Packard's original de- 

 scription (5th Report Peab. Acady., page 58) he notes, one 

 special feature the large discal dots on all wings which 

 serves to fix the application of his name to the larger spe- 

 cies with its expanse of 25 mm. and over. The smaller spe-
