Description, Female — Above dark brown, head, thorax and abdomen 

 concolorous ; primaries with seven yellowish translucent spots arranged 

 as follows : three small oblong interspaceal spots in line, anterior one 

 adjacent to costa at about one-fourth its length from apex ; nearly in 

 a line between apex and middle of inner. edge of wing three more, the 

 first small and indistinct, nearly behind the posterior oblong spot, the 

 second larger, saggitate, the base outward, the third and posterior one 

 irregularly quadrangular, much larger than the second ; near the costal 

 angle of this a smaller quadrangulate spot. All translucent spots bordered 

 more or less with brassy scales having a metallic lustre. Near middle of 

 inner edge a nearly lunate spot, opaque, consisting of brassy scales. 



Beneath slightly paler than above, all spots re-appearing except the 

 opaque lunate spot, which is represented by a pale shade bounded by the 

 divergent veins and extending nearly to margin.

 only in certain lights. Expands 34 cm.

 and brassy edges of spots.

Eustrotia secta Grote, Can. Ent., xi., 199. 



This species, which is frail and wide-winged, has much the appearance 

 of a Thalpochares, but the primaries have an accessory cell. The fore 

 wings are 12-veined, 8 out of 7, 9 out of 8, 7 out of the extremity of 

 accessory cell, running for more than a quarter of its length before it 

 throws off 8. Hind wings 8-veined with vein 5 equally strong. Discal 

 cell open on both wings. A fuscous species washed with whitish, with 

 the narrow median space brownish and an internal patch containing black- 

 scales on the margin. Massachusetts.
