396 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Head and thorax brown of various shades, the front being the 

 darkest and the collar the palest. 



Abdomen above pale brown, the second segment darker, the dorsal 

 tufts black, tipped with white. 



Fore wings rather long, the costal margin being at least one and a 



half times as long as the inner margin ; outer margin well rounded. The 



fore wings are lightly scaled, the scales being brown, with a tinge of 



ochreous; there are traces of three or four diffuse lines in the basal area, but 



the form of them cannot be made out clearly in any of my specimens. 



The first distinct line is the intra-discal ; this is foUowed^by a median line, 

 bent outward to pass the discal spot, and an extra-discal line. These 

 three lines are parallel to each other, and are all of them very distinct on 

 the costa, where they appear as conspicuous blotches. The extra-discal 

 line is punctuated on the veins by dashes pointing inwards. The discal 

 s})ot is large and darker than the other markings of the wing. 



Beyond the extra-discal line is a pale band, widest on the costa, and 

 divided by a fine hair line ; the submarginal space is darker than the rest 

 of the wings, and is a little wider than usual. The submarginal wavy pale 

 line is conspicuous on the costa ; on the inner side of it on the costa is a 

 double brown blotch; the line itself, though distant nearly 2 nmi. from the 

 apex of the wing at its commencement, almost touches the outer margin 

 at the lornus. 



There is a marginal line of rather heavy dashes between the veins ; 

 the fringe is long, pale at the base, but with darker spots on the median 

 line. 



Hind wings, clear in the costal region, but with six brown lines 

 marked on the inner margin, only one of which extends beyond the middle 

 of the wing ; discal dots well marked ; fringe as on fore wing. 



Beneath, fore wings clear at the base, and along inner margin ; the 

 commencements of the median and extra-discal lines appear as blotches on 

 the costa, and there is also a large dark apical blotch, corresponding with 

 the costal portion of the submarginal band of the upper side, arid this is 

 divided by the reflection of the pale submarginal line. 



Hind wings with traces of four cross lines, two intra-discal and two 

 extra-discal, the outermost extra-discal line being marked by rather long 

 dashes on the veins.
