f) i and 5 9. — .Somewhat allied to R. lorutilrata in tijrm ; but tlio pal[)i 

 arc of iiDiisiial lengtli, rather slender, and the hind wing.s are a little more 

 ])rodueed toward the ape.x. Body and fore wings hrown : palpi blackish, 

 tipped at extreme end with white. Head gray. Fore wings with numerous 

 finely-scalioped dark lines; about six such lines; the median, dark, broad 

 l)and is less distinct liian usual, without the usiud angle iu tlie discal space, 

 l)u1 witli a hir^e, distinct, black, discal dot; beyond the edge of this band, 

 whicli has about nine scallops, is a wliitisii. narrow l)and, will] a faint median, 

 scalloped, dark line; beyond is a large black costal Idotcii, and a second one 

 l)elow, <)])])()site the discal dot. and limited beyond h\ the usual zigzag, white, 

 submarginal line; a marginal row of close-set l)lack triangles. Plind wings 

 whitish, usually without any markings, except the marginal row of conspicu- 

 ous, black, close dots; beneath marked much as usual in lacufttraia and allied 

 species, the wings being clouded, with the lines laintly reproduced, and two 

 faint- lines on the hind wings, with a discal dot.

Diileriug from all the otiier species by the scalloped edge of the median 

 band, which is less black than usual, this species reminds one of Ochyria 

 ckslgnata in the two blackish patches near the apex. The two White ^Mountain 

 specimens have the hind wings darker, with traces of two lines, and are also 

 smaller than the ('alilornian and Vancouver Island examples, the fore wings 

 measuring (t.4G inch; and the fore wings are a little blunter. It may prove 

 to be i(h'iitical with some Luro])ean species. Tiiose from Vancouver Island 

 have longer, nuire poii:ted wings, and are whiter than Calitbrnian examples, 

 and expand a line more.
