wards, whilst the fifth one, separated a little from the others, points 

 obliquely forwards.) The wing behind the fifth costal streak is a little 

 darker than elsewhere, and some specimens may be said to have a large 

 brownish apical spot. There is a dark brown hinder marginal line at the 

 base of the ciliae, which are tipped with brown at the apex. The line 

 of union of the white of the dorsal margin with the brown color of the 

 wing is irregular, and in some specimens it is marked by distinct brownish 

 spots, and sometimes the white of the dorsal margin contains behind the 

 middle a narrow'brown longitudinal line which passes obliquely down 

 towards the apex.

I find a specimen of this species among a few species sent to me from 

 Lake Villa, Utah, by Mr. J. D. Putnam. 



Helice palidochrella Cham. 



Though the larva is unknown, I am convinced that it feeds in some 

 way upon Gleditschia iriacanthos. In Kentucky it makes its appearance 

 in the imago about the 15th of May, resting on the trunks of Gleditschia 

 trees with the wings horizontal and a little divergent, and the head lowered 

 and abdomen raised. Sometimes the fore wings are so densely dusted 

 towards the apex as to give the appearance (to the inward edge) of a 

 small brown spot lying along the base of tlie costal ciliae ; the base of the 

 costa is usually brown, and sometimes there is a small creamy patch on 

 the wing before the first costal streak, which is a narrow triangle with the 

 apex at the fold, and is sometimes margined before and around its apex 

 with a creamy or pale ochreous color. The legs and abdomen are dark 

 brown or blackish, annulate with white, and the anal tuft is white.
