scales. Disc-Ill spot small, black, distinct. At one-third of the leniith 

 of the intei'Dal margin from base, three curvilinear, black, shade streaks, 

 merged together iuferiorly, run very obliquely towards the apex, be- 

 coming obsolete below the pale apical space; a fourth, in the pale space 

 externally, is subobsolete. From extreme apex three or four similar but 

 paler, more linear streaks, separating as they proceed, run inversely 

 towards internal margin, before attaining which they become subobso- 

 lete. The wing is palest along internal margin from the base of the 

 bands at the basal third to internal angle, and again subapically, while 

 on the costa and spreading slightly below at apical third, the wing is 

 covered with dark ochreous scales. Under surface of both pair, shaded 

 with bright ochreous, sparsely sprinkled with dark scales and with a 

 subterminal row of black dots on the nervules; terminal spaces darker. 



Posterior wings brownish-black ; testaceous-yellow along costa at 

 base; anal angle rather largely testaceous yellowish, from whence a 

 narrow, similarly colored band, divided obsoletely by the darker squam- 

 mation of the nervules, runs to sub-costal interspace near the apex ; 

 fringes whitish. 



Head above, and tegulae, olivaceous-brown, the latter with a distinct 

 ochreous median longitudinal stripe ; disc of the thorax cinereous. A 

 broad whitish stripe runs from the tips of the palpi above the eyes to 

 the base of the thorax, widening at the base of anterior wings laterally, 

 where it becomes somewhat cinereous; abdomen pale brownish, with a 

 slight reddish tinge and with two broad longitudinal darker shade bands 

 above, running close together, beneath paler, and, with under surface of 

 thoracic region and palpi, presenting the same shade as upper surface 

 of abdomen, mixed with a few whitish hairs. Legs whitish outwardly, 

 brownish inwardly; antennae whitish above, testaceous beneath. 



9 . Dark testaceous-brown. Differs from the % by the darker co- 

 loration ; the three anterior curvilinear stripes are more fused, forming 

 a broad shade behind, the fourth, in the paler space, more continued 

 and distinct. The posterior wings are more brownish, with the yellow- 

 ish sub-terminal band much reduced, more disconnected. Body, as 

 indeed the entire insect, greatly darker. Exp. % 2.20 inches, $ 2.30

Nearest allied to C/iserocampa tersa, with which it coincides in the 

 shape of the wings, but the present species is smaller, while the exter- 

 nal mariiin is sliohtlv more rounded ; the striate, black, shade lines 

 originate further from the base and are curved, not straight, while the
