Color pale yellowish-testaceous, more or less tinged with fulvous, 

 the mesonotum deep rufo-fulvous; face paler with the carinas whit- 

 ish. Vertex and disk of the mesonotum more or less infuscated. 

 Elytra darker fulvo-testaceous; clavus exterior to the outer nervure 

 and an oblique costal spot reaching at least to the middle of the 

 disk more or less distinctly whitish, the outer claval nervure con- 

 spicuously white and the surface enclosed by it of a rich brown; 

 stigma, a series of lines along the apical margin and sometimes the 

 commissural nervure on about its apical one-half blackish; apex of 

 the elytra beyond the stigma smoky subhyaline, the large costal 

 areole beyond the stigma yellowish and followed by a fuscous cloud, 

 the apical and at least two of the subapical transverse nervures thick 

 and white; the nervures mostly strong and conspicuous. 



Described from two female examples taken about the base of red- 

 wood trees in Muir woods, Marin County, Calif., September 5, 

 1914. This species agrees with ninjiisciilus in having a much longer 

 pronotum than is usual in Catonia, with the hind margin less deeply 

 excavated. In the form of its head it approaches Elidiptera but 

 differs in wanting the longitudinal compartment behind the eyes.
