excepting the usual broad brown seam along Cii and its branches; the pale

 Ml, Mi and Ms, and the centre of cell Cm. 



Abdominal tergites with the dark brown lateral stripes very broad, about 

 as wide as the yellow mid-dorsal area, this latter most distinct on tergites one 

 to seven. 



Habitat. — North Carolina.
