Lithophane B alley i, n. s. 



$ $ . Greenish gray and resembling at first sight querquera from its 

 color, but with the usual markings of the genus distinct, and with narrower 

 wings. Fore wings rather dark greenish gray. Basal dash black, sur- 

 mounted by the usual pale shade. T. a. line double. Orbicular con- 

 colorous. Reniform large, rounded, with a remarkably bright red stain 

 and shaded with blackish. Median shade blackish, diffuse between the 

 spots T. p. line double, denticulate, a little more outwardly exserted 

 than in ^«^r^?/i?;v7, opposite the cell. Subterminal line more or less evident 

 by its fuscous preceding shade. Terminal line black, sub-continuous. 

 Hind wings fuscous with dark fringes. Beneath fuscous with a ruddy 

 hue, a common line and discal spots. Expanse -^^d mil. Two specimens 

 taken near Albany in September, by Mr. Geo. J. Bailey, for whom the 

 species is nanled. One male also from Canada. 



This species differs from querquera by the narrower wings, with the 

 costal angulation more pronounced, the more grayish color, the scalloped 

 terminal line, less deeply waved subterminal, and the distinct median 

 lines ; the secondaries and their fringes are not reddish above.

 with a patch of light brown scales. Ordinary spots concolorous, faintly 

 outlined, orbicular larger than in tritona. Median shade obsolete ; median 

 space very wide. T. a. line evident above the basal dash (which slightly 

 exceeds the line) and here blackish ; beneath the dash obsolete. T. p. line 

 shaped as in tritona, but without the discal incision, blackish, sub-dentate, 

 edged outwardly with brown, inwardly with whitish. Black dash on sub- 

 median fold not extending within the line. Hind wings whitish at base, 

 outwardly vaguely and largely blackish. Fore wings beneath fuscous ;
