194 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST, 



rather frail and thinly scaled, usually some shade of reddish or yellowish, 

 more rarely tending to black. On the primaries, veins 7 to lo inclusive 

 are on a stalk out of the end of the cell, 10 thus not arising out of the 

 subcostal, 3, 4 and 5 are almost equidistant from the end of the median. 

 On the secondaries, 3 and 4 are from the end of the cell, 5 is wanting, 6 

 and 7 from a stalk out of the end of the subcostal, 8 from subcostal, about 

 one-third from base. There may be some variation in the origin of 2, 6 

 and 7 of secondaries, and 5 may be present in some species ; these are 

 variable points in this family. 



From what I have seen, I believe that almost any good local collec- 

 tion would show most of the species ; in other words, I believe individual 

 characters have been largely used for specific distinction.

 Packard apparently did not recognize this species. I am not sure 

 that I have it correctly, but what I take to be the species seems to occur 

 east of the Mississippi and north of the Carolinas.

 specimens of this species among his rubicundaria.
