I have seen S and 9 specimens from Mr. Moeschler. Very closely 

 allied to inunis, but sinaUer ; easily distinguished by the blackish woolly 

 clothing of the underside; the same i)arls of vninis white. Tiiere is a 

 difference in wing form between the sexes, those of the 9 being nar- 

 rower, and some in macnlation, the 9 being somewhat more com- 

 pletely marked. The $ was sent by Mv. j\roeschler sub. nom. nimplonia, 

 and was not recognized by its describer as belonging with the female 

 type.

A very distinct species; the ])riniaries are rather nairow. The pale 

 color, large ordinary spots, and black <;ell, will easily separate this from 

 all allied forms.
