trifolii is found on the old continents from Spain to Peking.

N. B. — To this form paisilis is nearly allied; the extension of the ovi- 

 positor does not seem to be a constant feature. I have a specimen from 

 California, '' Shasta," which seems to be the same as the Eastern vidua. 

 Again I have an Illinois specimen which indicates a closely allied but 

 probably distinct specials from the East. 



anguina G?'ote, n. s. 



^ . Allied to vidua, but with the t. p. line drawn in below the feni- 

 form, narrowing the median space below the vein. No red or brown 

 tintings. Median space shaded with blackish. The general color is 

 gray ; the stigmata pale, much as in vidua, except the claviform, which is 

 much larger and wider, while it also extends across to t. p. line. A dis- 

 tinct black dash at internal angle to s. t. line at its §inus on submedian 

 fold. Hind wings white with soiled borders. No dark dashes before the 

 subterminal line which are in both pcusilis and vidua. Expause 28 mil.

N. B. — Also closely allied to vidua. The fore wings appear more 

 elongate and sharper,

 and the base of the wing and thorax often shaded with black. Another
