THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 195 



the male. Usually the space between the antennae is occupied by a brown 

 band, and the superior part of the front is also brownish. Posterior part 

 of collar brownish, and a stripe across the first abdominal segment is of 

 the same colour. Sometimes two dorsal spots are on each of the remain- 

 ing abdominal segments, though these may be altogether absent. 

 Cross-lines of primaries blackish, narrow ; clearly delineated in the male, 

 obscure in the female. Basal line originates on costa one-sixth out, in a 

 black spot, extends outward to cell, then bends inward, and is twice 

 sinuate to inner margin. Extradiscal line begins two-thirds out on costa, 

 extends outwardly sinuate to below R 5) then curves inward to Cu^ is 

 outwardly scalloped between Ci^ and Cu 2 , again scalloped slightly below 

 this last vein, then deeply incurved to inner margin, terminating between 

 the base of the wing and the anal angle. The median line is rather indis- 

 tinct, begins on costa between the extra- and intradiscal lines, rounds 

 outwardly the faint discal ringlet, of which it forms a part, and there runs 

 Close and subparallel to the extradiscal line to the inner margin. External 

 to the extradiscal line is a brown-ochre shade, broad within the incurves 

 of the extradiscal line, narrow or broken at the outcurves. Outer space 

 with a patch of dark scales between veins R 4 and M x . Subterminal line 

 white, scalloped between the veins and running parallel to the outer margin. 

 Terminal line scalloped, and with a distinct black spot at the angles 

 formed by the junction of the scallops. Secondaries with a sinuate intra- 

 and extradiscal line, the former most distinct on inner margin, the latter 

 with the sinuations sometimes angular, and with a distinct outward angle 

 between M 2 and Cuj, The latter bordered externally with an ochreous 

 shade. Subterminal line white, scalloped, bordered with a gray shade 

 internally. Terminal line as in primaries, but the scallops much more 

 pronounced. Beneath whitish in male, grayish in female, the primaries 

 dusky subapically and the costa strigate with brown. Discal spots on all 

 wings solid ; large and conspicuous on primaries, smaller and faint on 

 secondaries. Terminal line represented by the black points at the angle 

 of the scallops on the upper side. 



Types : Ten males and two females in the collection of Mr. Geo. H. 

 Field, of California, and in the collection of the author. 



Habitat : San Diego, Cal., June 12, July 17, Aug. 20, 30, Oct. 2, 19, 

 24, Nov. 2, 15. All taken by Mr. Field. I have the species also from 

 Pasadena, Cal., taken Oct. 10, but these are in rather poor condition, and 

 have not been made types.
