S . Anterior wings basally pale brownish oclirey, sprinkled with dark 

 brown scales. The perpendicular median shade is j)ropiuquitous to the even 

 transverse exterior line, which limits inwardly the deep brown terminal field

 deep orange above, without lines. Internal margin with black scales, which 

 mark the inception of the usual transverse lines at anal angle. Beneath the 

 fore wings are orange, with a terminal apical band. Hind wings pale brown, 

 irrorate with dark scales and with a median transverse dark band. 



Expanse, .75 inch. Ilahitat, Buffalo, N. Y., etc. 



Mr. Charles Linden has taken specimens in this vicinity. I have 

 seen this species singly in other collections of Moths, made at 

 various points in the Atlantic States. 



On the Plate, fig. 2 represents the under surface, and fig. 3 the 

 denuded wings enlarged, showing the venation.
