4 c?. — This line large species is of the same size as A. dhsimilaria 

 (lliibn.), but the anteiiii;v are less densely pectinated, thougli the bran(dies 

 are as long. The paljji are one-half as large; and do not projec^t beyond the 

 front. The fore wings are subfalcate, acute, and the hind wings decidedly 

 bent in the middle. Body and wings uniformly reddish fawn-brown. An- 

 tennae horn-color. Fore wings with three narrow, parallel, more or less inter- 

 rupted, blackish lines; the basal much curved; the middle one curved just 

 below the costa, straight beyond; the outer (third) a little curved. Half-way 

 beyond this line and the outer edge of the wing is a row of intervenular, 

 round, black spots, edged externally with whitish. There is no spot in the 

 extradi seal space. An oblique, blackish, apical streak. Hind wings with the same 

 markings, wanting only the basal line, while the outer row of spots are smaller 

 than those on the fi)re wings Fringe slightly darker than above. Beneath 

 uniformly pale fawn-brown, slightly paler than al)ove, with no lines, but small, 

 scattered, dark, transverse specks and four small discal dots. A row of three or 

 four black dots near the apex Abdomen and legs concolorous with the Ijody. 



Length of body, J, 0.55 ; of fore wing, 6 , 0.75 ; expan.se of wings, 2.00

Easily distinguished by its large size and bright-reddish fawn-color

 on the hind wings; also by the outer row of black spots
