jaiiitly roseate; a basal, double-curved, black line, edged within with roseate; 

 beyond, a middle, bhick-l>rown, double line; the outer line very linear, enclosing 

 a roseate line, a little dilated inward on the custa; discal dot round, black, in 

 a clear band of pale-ashen ; the extradiscal band, consisting of a sinuate black 

 line or lines, shading diffusely, especially at its lower end; opposite the discal 

 dot it nearly disappears, sending a zigzag faint line straight to the inner edge; 

 beyond is a row of black points, still beyond which is a submarginal, zigzag, 

 white line, most angulated near the apex ; a submarginal ifow of black lunules 

 toward the a[)c.\, becoming linear in the middle and at the inner angle of the 

 wing; fringe pale-ashen, with a roseate tint, paler on the outer half Hind 

 wings pale-ashen, with a slight roseate tinge, with numerous dark lines on the 

 hind edge; an outer row of dark dots, and a submarginal, zigzag, white line; 

 edge of wing well scalloped ; liinjze long, with a small, rather obscure, discal 

 dot; beneath, pale-ashen, with thick, broad scales, luteous at base, scarcely 

 arranged in lines, and thicker at the base of'tiie wing. Body and legs beneath 

 pale. 



Length of l)ody, 0.36 ; of fore wing, 0.46 ; expanse of wings, 0.75-0.95 

 inch.

It is evident from these dates that it is double-brooded in Texas. 

 A variety ( |)late 8, fig. 65) received from Texas (Belfrage), and taken 

 March 12, is rather large, expanding 0.95 inch, with the fore wings more acute 

 than usual. The general tint is as usual; but the basal line is darker and 

 heavier, the middle line very broad and black, twice as wide as usual, and the 

 outer side of the median band is heavier and darker than usual. 



1 confess that at first I regarded this species as an Ochyria, closely allied 

 to O. designuta. It differs in the large number of lines in the middle of the 

 fore wings and the nuvny-lineated scalloped hind wings. It is closely allied 

 to the European 7'. jwhjgra/iunata.
