REVISION OF SPECIES OF THE GENUS AGKO'l'IS. 15i) 



outcurvod ill the interspaces. T. p. line iiulistiuetly i;einiiuite, as a 

 whole well exserted over the reiiilbriii and thence rather evenly oblique 

 to the inner margin; inner ])art of line line, crennlate, outer line rei>- 

 resented by vennlar dots distinct only below vein 5. S. t. line indeli- 

 iiite, irregular, iorniing an outward curve on veins 3 and ~>, and again 

 near apex ; relieved by tlii' dark terminal space. Claviform small, eon- 

 (X)lorous, incompletely outlined. Ordinary spots paler ashen gray; 

 orbicular outlined in black, obli<iue, somewhat irregular oval, Iteui- 

 forin large, kiilney-shai»ed, narrowly pale lined, incompletely outline<l 

 interiorly, outwardly with a pale, more yellowish blotch. A very nar- 

 row, interrupted, terminal line. There is a slightly deeper shade of 

 reddish between the ordinary spots, but nothing like a <listinct dark 

 shading. Secondaries soiled whitish, with a darker outer margin. 15e- 

 neath, primaries fuscous, with i)aler i)owdery outer and costal border. 

 Secondaries paler, powdery, with an incomi)lete outer line and a diffuse 

 discal si)()t. 



Exi)ands 35"""' ; 1.40 inches. 



ILvniTAT. — Sierra Nevada, California (McGlashan). 



This is perhaps nearest to choris, but <iuite distinct from it. The 

 maculation is more distinct than in any other member of the groui> so 

 far as the spots are concerned and apj)roaches the tcssellata group, 

 wiihout, in the specimens before me, raising any (luestion as to the pro- 

 priety of referring the species here.

Ocher yellow, to dark, somewhat bluish gray shaded with fuscous. 

 Median and terminal spaces darker ; costa in the more deeply colored 

 specimens gray. Transverse lines variably complete, otten subobso- 

 lete, sometimes very distinct, geminate; t. a. line upright, obtusely 

 angulated between the veins ; t. p. line very even, parallel with outer 

 margin. S. t. line pale, usually rather evenly sinuate, sometimes 

 marked with a preceding darker shade, rarely slightly indenred on 

 veins ."> and 4. Claviform usually indicated, rarely complete. Ordi- 

 nary spots usually well dehned, orbicular in pale specimens sometimes 

 indelinite, but usually paler than groundcolor, reni form, always defined, 

 l)aler than ground color, interiorly darker. Often the outer third of 

 median space is perceptibly darker than the other portion and some- 

 times there is a distinct dark shade in the cell, between the spots. 

 Secondaries dusky to blackish, paler toward base; beneath whitish; 

 primaries through center darker ; a variably distinct common line and 

 a dusky discal dot. Head and thorax concolorous. 



Expands 31-35"""; 1.2r)-1.40 inches. 



Habitat. — Canada and United States east of the Mississippi.
