t. p. line distinct, even, exserted opposite the cell. Hind wings pale, 

 ashen, with median line and ashen fringes ; fore wings with blackish 

 fringe, narrowly cut with pale. Beneath yellow, whitish, black speckled, 

 with common line and black discal points. Expanse 33 m. m. Texas 

 (Belfrage, No. 73). One specimen. 



These two species differ by their nearly entire wings and by the obso- 

 lescent markings on hind wings, which do not agree with the primaries as 

 strongly as usual. I do not see differences on which to separate them 

 generically.

Fore wings whitish yellow and olive brown. The median field whitish 

 yellow except a costal blotch of the darker tint. Base narrowly whitish 

 yellow, succeeded by an oblique olive brown band. The outer line 

 bordering the median space is nearly upright, a little irregular and slightly 

 notched opposite the cell and again at internal margin. It is followed by 

 the broad olive brown subterminal space. The subterminal line is 

 yellowish, brought near the margin, flexuous, and the veinlets on the 

 terminal space are marked with yellowish. Hind wings unicolorous 

 fuscous. Beneath the terminal portion of both wings is fuscous, neatly 

 and evenly limited from the pale basal portions. Legs pale ; thorax 

 somewhat yellowish. Expanse 16 mil. Texas (Belfrage, No. 403, Oct. 

 7) ; Bastrop Co. (Mr. Meske) ; Zeller, No. 385.

 palpi are stated by Zeller to be probably wanting and the location of the 

 species uncertain. I have only a single imperfect specimen before me.
