3 c? and 3 9 — ^lah; anlcniin' simple. A general llesli-coloi'cd tin! on (lu; 

 wings. Fore wings with a iieavv, aiigulaled, basal line, with parallel liiK^s 

 within and without the broader line. A broad, median, dark band, pale in 

 tlie middle, with the edges heavy and dark. Tlic inner edge sends a sharp 

 angle oulwai-<l from the base of (he winsf, an obtus(3 angle on (he median 

 vein, and a hirger angle on the internal vein. The mid(Ue of (lie band is 

 whitish, with a distinct diseal dot. The outer edge of the band is angled, 

 much as in 0. inunitayta ; (here being a large sinus in the diseal space, the 

 angle ])elow being large and well marked, v\hile still below is a deep sinus. 

 Be\ond this band is a broad, cofTee-colored, dilTusc band, not present in any 

 of the other species. This band is sometimes interrupted, but is always 

 edged externally with an interrupted, rather distinct, white line. The hind 

 wings are pale flesh-brown, with traces of three dilTuse light-brown lines and 

 a diseal dot; the two outer of these lines form beneath broad, irregularly- 

 scalloped bands, the outer very heavy, and edged externally with white. The 

 outer edge of the middle band on (he fore wings is reproduced distinctly on 

 the costa, l^ut faintly on the hinder part of the wing. Tlie fringe is check- 

 ered wi(h brown more distinctly beneath than above.

This species differs from tlic others in the iiesh-brown tints, and the 

 submarginal, broad, coHee-colored band. I\I. Gueuee, to whom I sent speci- 

 mens, writes me (hat this is neither his Coremia convallaria nor defensaria. I 

 accordingly take pleasure in dedicating this species to the author of tlie best 

 work yet pid>lishcd on the group.
