THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 110 



Wing texture and covering of scales very thin ; fore wings large, 

 produced at ajjex. hind wings small, narrow, somewhat extended. Palpi 

 rough scaled, dark gray. Front, collar, thorax and abdomen above dark 

 gray and white mixed, the front a little darker, tending to brownish. 

 Wings soiled white, sprinkled thinly but evenly with dusky scales, these 

 darkened along costal region of fore wings and when formed into bands, 

 which sometimes are distinct and cross the wings, but more often fade out, 

 or are entirely wanting, as in the case of the 9 type. The male is marked 

 thus : a narrow curved dark gray band close to base, a pale line of ground 

 colour of equal width, then a broad gray band, widest at costa, and slightly 

 curved toward base at inner margin. The discal space broad and paler, 

 sometimes transversed within discal dot by a shadowy line. Extra-discal 

 band, two-thirds out from base, darker, with an outward angle at costa, 

 then straight across wing, darkened at veins, succeeded by a pale space of 

 equal width. Subterminal space dusky, often traversed midway by a row 

 of darker dots on veins ; marginal line on both wings brownish, fine and 

 distinct. Fringes dusky. Hind wings dusky white, without markings, a 

 shade darker toward margin. Discal dots when present minute dark brown 

 or black, often entirely lacking. Beneath soiled white, the extra-discal 

 line is reproduced, and crosses half way from costa on fore wings, and the 

 pale space succeeding it above is often sharply defined by a darkening of 

 the wing subterminally, heavier at apex, fading out half way across. An 

 apparent continuation of the extra-discal line across hind wings, curved, 

 parallel to margin, is found in a row of diffuse dots on veins, sometimes 

 wanting; otherwise without markings, discal dots faint. Body beneath and 

 legs dirty white, sprinkled with dark gray and brown scales, heavily on 

 front pair, the others lighter. Tarsi banded with dark brown. Abdomen 

 beneath silvery white. 



Types. — (^ and $. Coll. R. F. Pearsall, the ^ from Doble, Cal, 

 the 9 from Walter's Station, Cal., in April. 



Co-types. — Coll. Dr. \Vm. Barnes, of Decatur, Ills., and of Dr. Jno. 

 B. Smith, New Brunswick, N. J. 



I am indebted to Dr. Jno. B. Smith for my types, and for other 



valuable material from Southern Calif., and to Dr. Barnes for examples 



from Palo Alto and Middle Calif 'I'wo males, so marked, are smaller, a 



clearer gray, with lines more distinct than southern examples. 



Talledega tabulata was described by Dr. Hulst from a male labelled 

 Alert Id., Alaska. An examination proves it to possess a hair pencil on 

 IiinJ iibia. This makes it a Lobophora, and it is the same, I think, with
