outer third of the wing; straight, with one large, obtusely triangular tooth in 



the middle of the wing. The edge within is auide up of deeply-.scalloped,

This differs from all the other species known to me in the well-i)ectinaled 

 antennae, the subfalcate wings, and its peculiar init-l)rown color, with the; 

 single, broad, darker band, in the middle of which is a row of ringlets. 



The New York example, received from Mr. Mead, does not differ from 

 those from California.
