towards the base, in width not more than half as wide as in cernes ; below 

 the stigma an oblong patch of blackish scales that are bronzy in certain 

 lights. Secondaries sprinkled with yellow scales, the inner half with yel- 

 lowish hairs that are less olivaceous than in cernes. 



One specimen has on the primaries, marking what is above described 

 as the outer boundary of the yellow, five small yellow spots that are paler 

 than the yellow along the costa, three in a line back from the costa and 

 two in the median interspaces ; and the yellow washing does not quite 

 reach to these spots, there being less yellow also at the base ; varying in 

 amount of yellow, as is sometimes seen in different specimens of cernes. 



Under side of primaries much as above, the yellow orange-tinted, the 

 row of slightly paler spots at the end of the yellow showing more dis- 

 tinctly than above, the apical half of terminal space sprinkled with yel- 

 low, the posterior half of wing blackish, the sinus beyond the cell heavily 

 sprinkled over. Secondaries dark brown with the vinous reflection, 

 sprinkled with pale yellow scales, a narrow discal band of small confluent 

 whitish spots marking the outer third, much as in the species of Ambly- 

 scirtes, not very distinct. 



Female. — This lacks the stigma of the male, is marked above much as 

 the female of cernes., but is a darker and brighter yellow, the whole area 

 in front of the cell and to the ante-apical spots nearly clear yellow, the 

 rest of the basal two thirds sprinkled with yellow much as in the male. 

 On the under side the obscure band on the secondaries is a little more 

 distinct than in the male. 



Body concolorous with the wings above, the thorax with olivaceous 

 hairs, the abdomen sprinkled with yellow ; beneath yellowish white, about 

 the shade of cernes. 



Described from four males and one female taken by H. K. Morrison 

 in Florida.

 with Mr. Kilman on a hunt, as I beat a high branch for beetles, a 

 large moth new to me dropped into my umbrella. Having secured it in 

 my poison bottle and remarked that I must now find its mate, another
