This species comes nearest onitimuUd Zeller, l)ut has the fascia well 

 deHned and is easily distinguished from that species by its dark head 

 and long brush on the labial palpi. 



The types were ])red l)y Dr. Harrison (J. Dyur, who has given me 

 the following notes on the larva: 



Lavm. — Head and cervit-al shield black; body i)ale, thickly muttled with red 

 brown, obscurely longitudinally lined and leaving pale spaces about the minute black 

 tubercles. Dorsal line geminate, irregular; subdorsal broader, blotched below tuber- 

 cle i; lateral and two subventral lines obscure. Thoracic feet black; anal plate 

 brown ))ordere<l.

In Professor Fernald's collection are two specimens from Onjno, 

 Maine, determined by Lord Walsingham as Gdechla JiujuhnlJa Fabri- 

 cius. They bear his blue labels no. 99 and 213 and undoubtedly belong 

 to this European species, which must thus be included in the American 

 list. 



In the U. S. National Musemu is a good series of P^uropean speci- 

 mens. 



The species is very distinct from its nearest allies and easily recog- 

 nized by its two white wing markings, the oblique white streak at 

 basal third and the nan-ow inwardly curved white fascia at apical third.
