Scopula glacialis n. sp. 



S . Resembles S. prunaUs of Europe, but the palpi are a little 

 shorter, and it is a smaller species throughout, while the apex of the 

 fore wings is more obtuse. Of an uniform pale ashen, palpi dark on 

 the sides, with a dark narrow line on each side and in front. Fore 

 wings with a thrice deeply zigzag narrow black line near the base ; 

 an obsolete dark line crossing the discal space, turning outward, and 

 becoming angulated on the submedian vein ; beyond, is a paler space, 

 on the outer edge of which is a distinct submarginal curved row of 

 black dots, which in the middle are slightly wedge-shaped. Beyond, 

 the wing is cinereous, with a slightly tawny tinge, as at the base of 

 the wing. A marginal row of equilateral triangular black dots. 

 Fringe concolorous with the wings, with a dusty line at base. Hind 

 wings a little paler ; that of the fore wings with no markings, fringe 

 paler. 



Beneath, cinereous, hind wing a little lighter than the fore wings ; 

 costa of primaries paler, with five very distinct black dots on the outer 

 half, and the marginal row very distinct. From the middle costal dot 

 goes a nearly straight dusky line, curving inwards, and fading away 

 on the second median cell. A diffuse discal discoloration connects 

 with the first costal dot. Legs pale, silvery. 



Length .30 ; fore wing .38 inch.
