dian si)!ice are freest from pule shade lines, more purely brown; the sub-basal 

 sjjaco is wide, the basal line distinctly followed by pale scales ; the median 

 lines are tolerably approximate, nearly equidistant, geminate, inner line the 

 strongest, and they are shaded wilii black and accentuated about the median 

 nervure ; all the veins dotted and streaked, pale and blackish ; the festooning 

 of pale scales, forming the subterminal line, is accentuated on the subterniinal 

 fold ; these pale scales in a certain light have a greenish cast ; terminal line 

 black, subcontinuous, appearing on the secondaries ; hind wings pale fuscous 

 brown, with the continuation of the wavy, and here much fainter, transverse 

 lines obsolete ; the more prominent are marked in black, and the veins dotted 

 on costal region of primaries ; collar with blackish scales ; body parts brown ; 

 antennae simple.

This species varies slightly in the paler powderings of the wings. 

 On examination and comparison I cannot sej)arate onr specimens 

 satisfactorily from the European material in the collection of this 

 Society, and conclude that the form is identical on both conti- 

 nents. The species is discussed by Dr. Packard, Proc. Bost. Soc. 

 Nat. Hist., Vol. XI, p. 44.
