The most heavily armed of the species, and readily recognized by that 

 character alone. Superficially it resembles Jaguarina, and the secon- 

 daries are as in that species. In fact, on again comparing them there is 

 little else than tibial armature to separate the two. This, however, is so 

 marked that there can be no question as to the specific distinctness of the 

 two. Expands 1 inch, 2(J millim.

This species resembles the preceding in armature, but differs from it in 

 the uniform pale yellow color of the wings, scarcely a trace of the usual 

 markings being visible. I have seen the type at Philadelphia. Expands 

 as before.

S. iiobilis, Grt., Proc. Ent. Soc. Ph. 3, 529, PI. VI, fig. 3 ; Packardii, var. 

 Grt., Buf. Bui. 2, 34 (Melicliptria) ; Lists ( Lygr anthoecia) ; New Check List (An- 

 thoecia). 



I have seen the type of this species in the Philadelphia collection ; 

 the tibia is as heavily armed as in Packardii, and it resembles that spe- 

 cies in the form of marking, but is much paler and the markings are 

 scarcely contrasted ; the primaries are a pale clay yellow, the median and 

 terminal spaces only slightly paler ; reniform distinct ; secondaries with a 

 darker margin and distinct dark discal spot. 



It was not until after the synopsis was in the hands of the printer that 

 I saw the type, and therefrom found that I had heretofore been in error in 

 the insect to which this name belonged. Expands as before.

Also very strongly armed ; easily distinguished by the uniform pale 

 gray color, the slightly paler median space, separated by narrow, crenu- 

 lated white lines. Expands \\ inch, 30 millim.
