NORTH AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 189 



" porrect" meant. His description says: "labial palpi not very 

 long, porrect, thickly scaled." By "porrect" be .says afterward lie 

 did not mean horizontal, but at least ascending (Can. Ent. xiv, 30, 



1882).

Expands 24 — 28 mm. Head, thorax and abdomen fuscous, with a tinge of red- 

 dish OQ the patagise. Fore wings bright reddish gray, except a broad costal 

 stripe reaching from base nearly to apex, which is white with scattered reddish 

 scales. Very faint indications of basal and outer gray cross lines by a lightening 

 of the red color on the lines, and a deepening of it on either side. Margin and 

 fringe grayish fuscous. Hind wings fuscous, with black marginal line. Beneath 

 dark fuscous, with a reddish tinge on fore wings ; fuscous on hind wings. 



California, Nevada. 



The following is Mr. Ragonot's description : 



" Fore wings dark brownish red, slightly rosy, sometimes washed with black- 

 ish before the first line, dusted with gray on hind margin, a white streak on 

 costa to second line, expanding to median vein, very obliquely crossed by the 

 first line, which afterwards is white, perpendicular, but sinuous and dentate: 

 second line far removed from hind margin, white and sinuous. Discal spots in a 

 white streak, marginal spots invisible." 



I have seen a specimen from Mr. Ragonot which agrees with my 

 type.
