134 AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 



Orlhosia aiitapica u. sp. 



Ground color a rusty reddish-gray, more or less powdered with smoky or 

 blackish scales, so that some examples seem to have been washed with sooty par- 

 ticles. Head and thorax concolorous. Primaries with all the markings defined, 

 usually clear in the less i)owdery, obscure in the darker examples, the median 

 shade line always the most obvious of the transverse markings, lower part of 

 reniform conspicuously darker, a dark brown or blackish costal patch preceding 

 the s. t. line always the most conspicuous portion of the wing. Basal half line 

 geminate, broken, a little irregular. T. a. line geminate, the two portions almost 

 equally distinct, included space concolorous, outwardly oblique, outcurved in the 

 interspaces, a little drawn in on the veins. T. p. line" geminate, the lines almost 

 even or the inner a little lunulate, in course a little irregular, not much outcurved 

 over the cell and not much drawn in below it. Median shade narrow, with dif- 

 fuse margins, but well defined, outwardly oblique from costa between ordinary 

 spots to inferior half of reniform, there angled atid inwardly oblique to the mid- 

 dle of the inner margin. S. t. line preceded on costa by a conspicuous dark 

 blotch, thence punctiform, consisting of a series of iuterspaceal blackish dots, 

 followed by a very obscure pale line. A series of iuterspaceal dark lunules a 

 little before the margin of the wing. The s. t. space is sometimes a little darker 

 than the rest of the wing. Claviform barely traceable by brown outlining scales. 

 Orbicular oval, oblique, of good size, incompletely and narrowly outlined in 

 brown. Reniform large, oblique, a little constricted centrally, narrowly defined 

 by brown scales and a slightly paler ring. Secondaries smoky, with a more or 

 less reddish tinge, a smoky discal lunule; a narrow terminal smoky line, prece- 

 ded by a paler margin. Beneath: reddish to smoky, powdery, with a large 

 smoky discal spot on all wings, and a more or less obvious extra-median line. 



Expands 1.36-1.46 inches = 34-36 mm.

Three $ and three $ . The wing form is like that of purpurea 

 Grt., which this species resembles in some points. The type of 

 maculation is more like that of verberata and the secondaries are 

 similar ; but the punctiform s. t. line will serve to distinguish this 

 form. The % antennoe are ciliate rather than fasciculate, the thora- 

 cic vestiture is hairy, and there is a neat little anterior crest. 



Orthopia fortiica n. sp. 



Ground color rather pale, even, red-brown ; head and thorax concolorous; pri- 

 maries with median lines scarcely relieved, the leaden gray spot in reniform and 

 black costal mark at inception of the punctiform s. t. line being the prominent 

 features. T. a. line geminate, with rather even outward angulations in the inter- 

 spaces. T. p. line mostly marked by the difference in tint between ujedian and 

 s. t. spaces, with little outward rays on the veins, only a little curved over cell. 

 Median shade rather well defined, brown, outwardly bent from costa to reniform 

 inferiorly, then inwardly oblique to margin. S. t. line marked by a series of 

 black iuterspaceal dots. An obscure brown terminal line, followed by a pale line 

 at base of fringes. Claviform indicated by a partial outline. Orbicular large.
