ceeded by a linear streak which reaches to the outer margin. Near 

 the internal angle are two unequal linear spots. A faint row of mar- 

 ginal brown dots. Secondaries white, with a dusky discoloration at the 

 inner angle. Fringe brown on the nervules. 



Beneath pale, primaries a little dusky without, the three costo-apical 

 dots and spotted fringe apparent. 



$ . Base of the primaries fuscous, and a distinct submedian dark 

 basal streak. Externally the wings are cinereous. A minute discal 

 dot, with a faint brown streak beyond. The two geminate costo-apical 

 streaks are more distinct than in S , as are the two larger spots near 

 the internal angle, and the marginal row of dots are more distinct.

 region in the discal space. No distinct discal mark, but that region is 

 discolored with dark brown and continued to the outer margin and to 

 two black lines, one on the 5th subcostal which dilates towards the 

 white apex of the wing. Outer margin with black and whitish streaks 

 on the nervules and in the interspaces. 



Secondaries smoky towards the outer margin, especially on the ner-

Mr. Shurtleff loaned me another % specimen which has much darker 

 patagia than the rest of the thorax ; the middle yellowish a.shen region 

 of the fore-wings is bounded on each side by zigzag lines, while the an- 

 terior part of the wing is slightly frosted over. Costal third of the 

 wing white, the marginal row of dots are each succeeded within by 

 white streaks. Abdomen pale cinereous, darker than the secondaries, 

 tip not so distinctly divided as in CE. conclnna It may easily be dis-

 wings. The fore-wings have the linear discal spot turning at right
