being lightened by yellowish scales. T. a. line, geminate, broken, as a whole 

 outwardly oblique to the submedian vein and then outcurved to the inner mar- 

 gin. T. p. line geminate, smoky, the inner lunulate, as a whole outwardly bent 

 over the cell and a little incurved below that point. The s. t. line is paler, 

 marked by yellowish scales. The apex is yellowish, preceded by dusky scales. 

 which form lunules or a continuous shade. All the veins dusky. Median shade 

 smoky brown, fairly well defined, bent at the end of the median vein. The 

 ordinary spots concolorous, orbicular of good size, narrowly ringed by brown 

 scales, round or nearly so; reniform, moderate in size, the sides almost equal, 

 narrowly defined by smoky scab's. Claviform double, as usual in the genus. 

 narrowly outlined by brown scales. Secondaries whitish to smoky, with a discal 

 lunule, an extra median dusky line and subterminal dusky shade, beyond which 

 the wing is paler and shades to a dusky terminal line. Beneath whitish or with 

 a reddish tinge, powdery, both wings with an outer smoky line and discal lunule.

Male and female are before me and differ little except in the 

 slightly darker shading of the male, which may not be a permanent 

 difference. The species is easily recognizable by the uniform rusty 

 coloration, without any contrasts, and on winch the ordinary lino 

 or markings are yet fairly well evident. The male agrees with the 

 species preceding in the sexual characters. The harpes are very 

 broad at the base, narrow very abruptly to a rounded tip, ami this 

 is rather densely clothed with stout pointed spurs or stiff spines. 

 The clasper is a very simple, stout, slightly curved claw.

Ground color a yellowish luteous, more or less powdered with brownish scales. 

 Head and thorax with a strong mingling of purplish brown scales, which are 

 well evident at the tip of the patagise and on the posterior tuft. Primaries with 

 the markings obscure, except that the t. p. line is well marked. Basal line trace- 

 able, the basal space a little purplish powdered. T. a. line geminate, nearly up- 

 right, with a distinct angulation on the median vein, an inner tooth on the sub- 

 median vein, and an outcurve below that. The outer part of the line is a little 

 rusty and hardly traceable; the inner is purplish and shades into the basal space. 

 T. p. line geminate, the inner line rusty, evident, but not contrasting ; the outer 

 portion broad, prominently shaded with purplish brown. The inception of the 

 line is a little beyond the middle and inside the reniform, but it bends abruptly 

 on the subcostal vein to beyond the cell. Over this it is somewhat broadly out- 

 curved, and is then almost evenly oblique to the inner margin, broken by a small 

 outward tooth on the submedian vein. The s. t. line is vaguely indicated by a 

 series of obscure rusty lunules, which are just barely traceable. There is a 

 series of terminal brown lunules. and beyond this the fringes evenly purplish. 

 The median line is obvious, narrow, brown, irregular, but as a whole nearly up- 

 right in course, much closer to the t. p. than the t. a. line. Orbicular rather 

 small, round or nearly so, with a narrow brown ring and a brownish central dot. 

 The reniform is large, kidney shaped, not well defined, with a brown lunule at 

 the end of the cell. Inferiorly there is a smoky patch, which extends backward 

 along the median vein nearly to the orbicular. Secondaries whitish, with a 

 glistening yellow tinge, which shows a dash of purplish reflection. Veins a little
