This species is difficult to separate, ^Yith certainty, from rohiniella 

 on superficial characters and on male genitalia. All the specimens I 

 have seen, however, have a distinct orange-red bar or dash in the cell 

 before the outer discal spot; all specimens of 7'ohm.iella I have seen 

 lack it. The females can be easily separated by genitalia. The gen- 

 ital plate of thelmae is narrow, that of rohiniella broad. 



In addition to the type series I have seen 2 5 9 from Massachusetts 

 (Chilmark, "VIII-6'' George D. Eustis ; Vineyard Haven, VIII-10-36, 

 F. M. Jones) and 1 2 from Maine (October 12, 1938, A. E. Brower).
