The ornamentations of this moth appear to be sufficiently dis- 

 tinct to separate it from any other species or variety. In size it 

 agrees with Californiata; the primaries have the outer edge less 

 oblique, and the apex less produced. The discal dots are wholly 

 different. It differs from all that approach it in ornamentation, 

 in having the median white band as wide on the inner edge as 

 on the costa, and having the basal and median lines not oblique — 

 that is, they reach the inner edge as far from the base of the 

 wing as on the costa. The specimens taken were fresh, and no 

 shade of green was perceptible. The palpi are rather shorter 

 than usual, pointed; the apexes approximated and turned down- 

 wards.
