terminal line, and a series of brown interspaceal marks before the 

 fringes. Secondaries smoky or fuscous, paler at base, with obscure 

 discal line and a double brown or blackish exterior line. There is a 

 gray, powdery marking toward anal angle, an irregular terminal 

 line, and a series of gray lunules. Beneath yellowish, with a smoky 

 discal lunule and two outer lines on all wings.

One male and 1 female; the former from Doctor Fletcher, the Van- 

 couver example; the latter from Doctor Barnes, the Winnipeg ex- 

 ample. The male lacked an abdomen when it reached me, but was 

 otherwise in good condition. 



The two examples are very much alike, the male a little darker as 

 a whole, the female with a little more of the rusty yellow shading 

 from the reniform. These are not sexual differences and they prob- 

 ably occur in both males and females. 



The species is larger and much less contrastingly colored than 

 benesignata, yet resembles that species in the definition of the median 

 shade. It is also larger than duplicata, much grayer, and with the 

 transverse markings more diffuse. It is not likely to be confused 

 with any other of the species and is, indeed, one of the most distinct 

 of the series. 



The spinulation of the median tibia is moderately distinct in both 

 sexes and easily seen. In the male the middle femora are not con- 

 spicuously tufted, and the mass of specialized scales is not great. 



The indentations on the upper surface of the anal segment of the 

 female are well marked; on the under surface the lobes are markedly 

 asymmetrical, that on the right being decidedly smaller than the left 

 and more ovate. The opening to the copulatory pouch is from the 

 middle of the upper surface of the right lobe.

Ground color fuscous to smoky brown, the males darker throughout 

 and more obscurely marked. Collar usually with a ferruginous tinge. 

 a black line across the middle. Thorax crossed by two black and 

 gray bands. Abdomen dark, the terminal segments ocherous. dorsal 

 t uftings distinct. Primaries with all the markings distinct in most 

 females and many males. Basal space darker; basal line black, 

 -ingle. T. a. line black, single, inwardly brown margined, sharply 

 produced on the subcostal, a little outcurved below the cell and in- 

 wardly oblique below vein 1. The median line is usually well 

 marked, nearly upright, brown, double, tending to form an obscure
