The transverse sirig« are usually very fine, and give the surface a charac- 

 teristic irrorate appearance. The median lines are generally lost, exce] t 

 on costa; but there is usually an obvious or even conspicuous median shade 

 which may be quite well defined or (|uite diffused. The s. t. line is narrow, 

 pale, usually preceded by a fairly well defined though narrow preceding 

 brown shade. The genitalia of the male differ from all those previously 

 described by the short, stout, strongly-curved clasper, which is distinctly 

 dilated at about its middle. The tip of harpes is only moderately elon- 

 gated, strongly constricted before its terminal enlargement, and the inferior 

 margin is jirolonged into a moderate Curved cxte.nsion. The uncus is 

 slender, tapering to tip, and in that respect it differs from inflava. Figure 

 6 will illustrate the structure more satisfactorily. 



It might be added that there is the same tendency here for the 

 ordinary spots to become confluent, that is found in nubilata. I have 

 seven males and one female from Corvallis, Oregon, March 31st to April 

 29th ; Olympia, Washington, April 7th ; \ancouver, H. C, April 6th. 



T. ^/asciata Smith is another of those species resembling iubtermin- 

 ata in superficial appearance and habitus. It is of a pale carneous gray, 

 more or less shaded with reddish, without transverse striga* and with all 

 transverse lines and markings distinctly written. The species is absolutely 

 not to be confused wiih anything else. I have at jiresent four males and 

 two females from NVellington and Vancouver, B. C, and Pullman, 

 Washington. 



In genital structure this species resembles in/ierita, but the clasper 

 is much longer, much more slender, the harpes are longer, much more 

 constricted before tip, and the curved process from lower angle of tip is 

 much larger in all respects. Figure 7 will show these points more satis- 

 factorily. 



A single male example from Alameda County, California, in January, 

 differs superficially from iu/ierita, but agrees almost exactly in genitalic 

 structure. It is at least an even chance that it is only a local form of 

 inhtf ita, but I will call it proba. It is rather uniform brick-reddish in 

 colour, with rather coarse, purplish transverse strijjR-, not very closely 

 placed, a tendency to yellowish irroralions, median lines marked on costal 

 region only, no obvious median shade, s. t. line yellowish, narrow but 

 Well defined, without shadings on either side. The ordinary spots are 

 narrowly pale-ringed ; orbicular concolorous, reniform d.irkened by 

 purplish strigic. The secondaries are shining yellowish.
