I would believe that a male imago and subimago and a female 

 subimago from Maryland, communicated by Mr. Uhler, belong

The ^ subimago is paler ; wings gray, opaque, veins a little 

 clouded with fuscous. 9 subimago obscurer, feet uniform fus-

I saw subimagines like the female, from Washington (Osten 

 Sacken).
