White ; palpi annulate and tipped with dark brown or black ; a 

 longitudinal median blackish stripe on the thorax, and a spot of the same 

 hue on each side of it ; primaries white with a median wide blackish 

 longitudinal streak beginning on the costa at the base, gradually widening 

 to the apex, where two small white streaks or spots divide it into three

 fourth, and a larger one about the apical third of the wing. Antennae 

 dark brown. Alar ex. H inch. Kentucky, in July.
