Zophodia dentata Grote. 



I have described this species in a paper prepared for Prof. Hayden's 

 Reports. It is larger than Bollii Zell., and is at once distinguished and 

 sufficiently characterized by the very deeply and acutely dentate outer 

 line of the fore wings, which arises near the apices and sweeps inwardly

 accompanied by gray or whitish shades. The species is more blackish 

 than the Texan, the interior line single and more widely produced. One 

 specimen from Clear Creek Canon, Colorado.
