at times very prominent, it may become quite obsolete. The dark 

 sprmklmg on the primaries may increase, especially in the female 

 sex, until but little of the ground color remains: in such cases the 

 maculat,on is much less distinct. It seems most nearly related to 

 mpana Sm. and montana Sm. but is considerably larger and broader- 

 wmged than either of these species.

Very close to mys Dyar. Dr. Dyar has however kindly com- 

 pared our specmiens ^yith his type and considers them distinct. In 

 mys all markings are lacking: in our .species the orbicular and 

 reniform are recognizable, especially in the female sex. The an- 

 tenn.x of the male are shortly bipectinate, of female slightly ciliate.

Palpi rosy: head purplish; teguL-e reddish-purple; thorax and patagia 

 purp e-gray: antenna in male very strongly pectinate except at tip. Primaries 

 purple-gray somewhat suffused with reddish. AH maculation indistinct- ta

 reniform, followed by parallel row of dots on the veins: orbicular a smalf 

 dark spot: reniform an obscure shade: terminal area slightly darker than 

 remainder of wing: costal edge rosy; fringes dusky with pale' outer border 

 and dark transverse line in outer third. Secondaries smoky, with rosy tinge 

 to fringes. Beneath, primaries, smoky, with postmedian line and discal dot 

 costa slightly rosy; secondaries pale, sprinkled with rosy and with dark discal 

 dot. Dark line on fringes of primaries more distinct than on upper side.

Very closely resembles in coloration the female of the preceding 

 species: the strongly pectinate antenna? and the lack of rosy suffu"^ 

 sion on upper side of secondaries easily serve to separate it. It is 

 also very similar to transparcus Grt. of ^yhich we have only seen the 

 female specimens. If it were not for the fact that Hampson records
