larly-iuirvefl .parallel black lines on both wiugs, seen more distinctly beneath; 

 and by the broad, clear, flesh-yellow, or luteoiis band between the discal dot 

 and tlic extra-discal line. 



The Labrador specimen does not difler from those from Maine and Mas- 

 sacluisetts, except that it is rather-larger. (Length of body, 0.35 ; fore wing, 

 0.42 inch.) 



The following is a description of the Labrador example: 



More luteoiis on the fore wings than usual. Palpi rather stout; hairs 

 scarcely as long as usual; front dark cinereous. Fore wings cinereous, with 

 darker scales, especially on the costa and toward the apex ; the I:)ase of the wing 

 is crossed by dark ditluse lines ; discal dot larger, more diffuse than usual ; 

 beyond is a broad luteous band, very diftiise and irregular, but free from dark 

 scales, and stili beyond is a submarginal, diffuse, blackish band ; fringe as 

 usual. Secondaries with a dusky discal spot ; edge of ring black ; fringe 

 long, cinereous, interrupted by narrow dusky spots; inner margin of the wing 

 with blackish scales, gathered just beyond the discal dot into a faint diffuse 

 line, disappearing toward the middle of the wing. 



Length of body, 0.35 ; of fore wing, 0.42 ; expanse of wings, 0.85 inch. 



Caribou Island, Straits of Belle Isle, July 14, 1860. 



Tliis species is much larger than several allied forms from Maine, and 

 the discal dot is more diffuse and larger, the space beyond luteous, more clear 

 from dark scales, while the anterior two-thirds of the hind wiugs are clearer. 

 Beneath, the discal dot is distinct, on tlie fore wings being black, linear, with 

 an outer shghtly sinuate line; a Hi tic dusky on the costa and outer edge. On 

 the hind wings, a dusky liiie, more distinct than above. Legs pale, as usual.
