llicir brauclies. .It differs tVoiii L. anguiliiieata (Grote), to wliicli it is veiy 

 closely allied, by the sharper apex of the fore wings, its whitish-ash color, 

 wanting the green tint o^ anguUineata, though, in one specimen (from Penu- 

 sylvaiiia), there is a yellowish-green tinge along the inner and outer lines. 

 The discal dot is much more linear, and often connected with the black streak 

 on the median vein, not present in L. angiiilineata. The broad shade beyond 

 the extradiscal line is wanting in L. anguilineata^ while the present species 

 wants the geminate, black patch in the middle of the outer margin. The 

 two species are very closely allied, l)ut may be separated on these characters. 

 It varies considerably. The Pennsylvania specimen ditiers most from the 

 northern examples in having three large, dark, irregular, somewhat triangular, 

 costal spt)ts, the middle one beginning the extradiscal line and ending as a 

 spot opposite the discal dot. There is also a large costal spot l>etween the 

 costal termination of the basal and extradiscal lines.

 in a letter to Mr. Lintner.

1 (?. — This tine si)ecies is very similar to L. vernata, but differs in the 

 following particulars: The wing is clearer and more deeply tinged with green, 

 the markings are heavier, and the submarginal line is more sinuous, while it 

 is interrupted in the extradiscal space l)y two short, heavy, black, parallel 

 lines, wiiich convci'ge uw their inner lerminalions.
