(wo (liirk, sliorl, longitudiiia] streaks, one on each side of the base of the 

 median vein. The costal half of the middle area of the wing occupied with 

 a Lirire, low, iri-egular, triangular dark-brown area, edged externally with 

 darker; apex ending in a knob, in one specimen produced angularly outward, 

 and connected with (sometimes separated from) an irregularly oval |)afch 

 under the third median venule, and which is traversed by a longitudinal 

 mesial white line. A sinuate, white, marginal Hne, beginning just before the 

 apex, and ending on the inner angle, and edged within with dark brown. 

 Frinsje pale ash, checkered with blackish. A black conspicuous discal dot, 

 in rul)bed specimens centered with white. Hind wings pale ash, with a 

 i'aint discal dot, and a dark, narrow, marginal line. Beneath, more or less 

 marbled with dark speckles. Fore wings with two parallel white lines, 

 iading away below the costal region, a slight ochreons tint along the costa; 

 a faint discal dot. Hind wings pepper-and-salt, wath two dark, parallel, 

 broad shades, angidated on the discal interspace, the outer line nearly touch- 

 ing the edge; of the wing ; discal dot larger and more distinct than on the 

 fore wings. 



Length of body, O.GO; of fore wing, 0.75; expanse of wings, 1.50 

 inches.

A fresh specimen received from Mr. Edwards differs from certain others 

 more rubbed (and which better agree with M. Guenee's description) in having 

 the large oval brown spot below Ihe median vein of the fore wings distinctly 

 united with the large costal triangular area, and in the more distinct bands 

 on the under side of the wnngs. 



The broadly-pectinated plumose antenna^ the single sinuous submar- 

 ginal line, separate this species from G. triUnenria, in which the pectinations 

 are less than one-half as long, and in which there are two parallel, sinuous 

 and angulated, subnuirginal lines.
