with teeth on cell and fold ; preceded by a broad black-brown fascia, 

 which runs through to the costa, obliterating the second antemedial 

 costal spot; postmedial marks as in harpalis, but more suffused, with 

 the yellow on the costa replaced by dull wood brown, and the white 

 circle partly stiff used with brown ; a wood brown terminal band, repre- 

 senting the yellow and white one of harpalis, defined inwardly with a 

 clean-cut black line, which runs out into the apex, and outwardly by a 

 blackish shade. Outer half of fringe white, with fuscous scale-tips. 



Hind wing with a complete irregular antemedian band, starting at Sc. 

 preceded by some blackish scaling ; discal spot strong, yclloiv, denned 

 inv/ardly by a few brown scales, and outwardly by an incurved blackish 

 line; postmedian line black, erect to discal fold, then right-angled and 

 incurved in a regular . sweep to anal angle, almost touching the discal 

 dot ; followed by a second weaker line, which does not reach the costa,

 wood brown at base, with traces of a black terminal line. Wing ex- 

 panse, 13 mm.

This is apparently the species on which the American records 

 of G. pctasitis are based, but it is not even closely related, as 

 the figures of the genitalia (Plate V, f. 4, arenella, f. 5, pcta- 

 sitis, at the same scale) will show. It is much more robust, 

 and the pale veins are distinctive.
