the same fades and color as lunata, and is not to be confounded with 

 more grayish or blackish forms which have this line distinct and even. It 

 has the same subterminal dark shades as lunata , and the discal lunule 

 (reniform) black and large. From time to time I have suspected in it 

 miner -ea, and smaller specimens as lunifera, but it can not be the latter. It is 

 very common in Canada and often goes under the name lunata. In pale 

 specimens the median space and terminal, above the inferior black shade, 

 are concolorous, yellow brown, and the dark markings contrast. The 

 subterminal black lunate shade is diffuse and broader than in lunata. 

 Beneath the hollow reniform is more evident than in lunata ; I do not 

 think there is a character in the lines of the under surface ; in 10 lunata 

 (Texas to Canada) these are variable. On the submedian space the t. p. 

 line shows a slight notch or dot or thickening in lunata, wanting in 

 minerea. Minerea is thinner bodied, and, perhaps, less compact and 

 slighter winged than lunata. Else the two are nearly alike. 



Saundersii is very like lunata, but has narrow whitish shades following 

 the t. a. and subterminal lines ; also on costa after the t. p. line. Caly- 

 canthata Guen. differs from edusd in the evenness of the t. p. line and 

 richer color. Albofasciata differs by having a narrow white filling beyond 

 the s. t. line. The two following forms seem to be undescribed.

$ . This species is of the size of ZaJe horrida. It is totally pale 

 brown, with all the lines. indistinct except the subterminal. The wings 

 are crossed by nebulous striae of a darker hue. The orbicular is a black 

 point. Reniform not legible on either surface. Subterminal line con- 

 tinuous, even, medially produced, geminate, its outer line bright ochre 

 brown, space between its component lines pale. Terminal space faintly 

 hoary, more distinctly striate. Hind wings concolorous with subterminal 

 line alone distinct, black, obliterate on costal region. Wings dentate • 

 fringes, concolorous. Beneath without stigmata, paler, unicolorous, 

 brown. Body parts concolorous. Expanse 43 mil. Canada, Mr. 

 Saunders. 



This cannot be uniformis, Can. Ent., 7, 148, because that species is 

 said to have " the subterminal line only seen as a black diffuse shade 

 crossing the wings." This line is linear and very distinct in unilineata, and 

 it is brown, its outer line bright ochre, on primaries. In Zale horrida 

 there is a rounded discal sinus to the s. t. line, wanting in unilineata.
