(The Michabo Moth.) 
Syn. minea Slosson. 
The illustration we give is sufficient to enable the student 
to identify this species, which is discriminated from its con¬ 
geners most readily by observing the broad flesh-colored band 
on the costa of the fore wings. In the form minea the flesh- 
colored lines are deep-red. This is the only difference.

Arge Moth.) 
Syn. dione Fabricius; incarnatorubra Goeze; coelebs Martyn; nerea 
Boisduval; doris Boisduval. 
Allied to the preceding species, but ascertained by the test 
of breeding to be distinct. The species is very variable. The 
hind wings are not often as free from dark markings as the 
specimen, and frequently are as much spotted and blotched with 
black as is the figure of A. michabo we give. The species is 
found almost everywhere within the United States and Canada. 
(7) Apantesis ornata Packard. (The Ornate Tiger-moth.) 
Form achaia Grote & Robinson, Plate XV, Figs. 20, 24, 
$. (The Achaia Moth.) 
Syn. edwardsi Stretch. 
A variable insect to which a number of names have been 
given. The variety in which the hind wings are yellow is 
A. ochracea Stretch. The species is found on the Pacific 
coast. The larval stages have been described by Dyar, Psyche, 
Vol. V, p. 380, 536. 
(8) Apantesis anna Grote. 
(The Anna Moth.) 
Form persephone Grote, 
Plate XV, Fig. 8, $ , Fig. 10, $ . 
(The Persephone Moth.) 
We give in Figure 72 a cut 
representing a specimen of the 
hind wings are wholly black. 
Persephone is the normal form. The insect is very variable in 
the amount of black displayed upon the hind wings, and also 
to some extent in the width and extent of the light lines on the 
primaries. The species is found in the Atlantic States, and is
