The Texan specimens in the Collection do not afford proper ground 

 for Mr. Morrison's surmise that this species is a variety oi jacuUfera. 

 They are merely a little smaller than the northern, and one ^ has 

 the hind wings paler at base.

■This species, of which I have both sexes, has brush-like antennae 

 in the male. It is closely allied to quadridentata, but differs at once 

 by the hind wings in both sexes being blackish, as dark as in herilis, 

 with white fringes. The ground color of the forewings is blackish. 

 The costal region, median vein and ordinary spots are gray, the 

 latter with a slight brown tinge which sometimes tinges the costal 

 edge. The pale scales on veins 3 and 4 do not extend beyond the 

 subterminal line except in one specimen (]S"evada). The size is that 

 of quadridentata.
