is longer and bears considerable resemblance to that of vernalis, 

 being less broadly emarginate in front; antennal segment II relatively 

 smaller and shorter, less than one- third the length of flagellum. The 

 forewings are similar in shape, but lack the spots on the veins and are 

 lighter colored, with the apical brown band lighter and extending over 

 first marginal cell. The genitalia are similar. The mesonotum is 

 conspicuously darker than in maculipennis, appearing as a brown 

 spot on the dorsum. 



Described from two females from Holderness, New Hampshire, 

 collected by Hubbard and Schwarz at the same time apparently as 

 the one specimen of maculipennis from this same locality. The 

 type locality is Colebrook, Connecticut (H. L. Viereck), one male 

 described by Miss Patch.

 length of vertex 0.76. General color orange to light brown, sternum 

 and face dark, abdomen lighter; antennae black at tip. Body large. 



Head long, as broad as prothorax; vertex large, sides nearly straight, 

 as long as width including only one eye, rather deeply emarginate 

 in front of median line, margins more or less upturned, produced in 

 front to nearly the middle of segment II of antennae; postocular 

 portion large and extensive, with an oblique fossal impression across 

 it. Eyes large, scarcely bulging. Antennae short, II longest and 

 largest, only a little longer than I, one-fourth as long as flagellum; 

 flagellum short, thick, whitish except black tip; terminal setae long. 



Thorax broad, flat, coarsely punctate. Pronotum longer than 

 praescutum, with dorsal foveas prominent, annulated. Forewings 

 large, very thick and coriaceous, quite opaque, yellowish brown, 

 ovate, about twice as long as broad, broadly rounded at apex; second 

 marginal cell larger than first, relatively broad; Rs scarcely sinuate, 

 rather short; pterostigma long and narrow; clavus very large; distal

 transmitted light.
