THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 109 



H. w. — The heavy third band of f. w. is equally heavy on //. w., and 

 is bisected at a right angle by a heavy brown line, forming a T mark. The 

 slight fourth band commences on this wing at about the same distance 

 from the third as it does on /. w., and runs a zigzag course to inner mar- 

 gin. The fifth band is broken, as described on / w. The outer margin 

 of this wing is more deeply notched than the outer margin of f. 7c, and 

 the lunar marks are more distinct, and are larger. All the markings are 

 of the same dark brown color. 



In general appearance this species differs greatly from Ziortaria, the 

 dark scales being much less diffused. 



The under side of both wings is concolorous, or nearly so, with their 

 upper side, with very few scattered brown scales. Of the /. w. under side 

 all the bands of the upper side are distinct and clear except the first. Of 

 the h. w., the bands are much fainter, the third and fifth being the heavier, 

 while the fourth is scarcely perceptible.

I hesitated for some time before venturing to describe this species, 

 thinking it possible that it may be Guenee's B. dendraria, but Packard's 

 statement that the third and fourth lines of dendraria were broad, confused 

 and blended, does not apply to the example before me.

By a slip of the pen the description of this species contains the fol- 

 lowing sentence : " Annulus about its middle at the tip." It should read : 

 " Middle and another at its tip." There are several indistinct costal 

 streaks besides the five larger ones from which it takes its name, and there 

 are four brown spots or longitudinal dashes along the line where the 

 general brownish-gray color of the wing meets the white dorsal part.
