Oalitbniia ( Kdwards). 



This species is deeper hriel^-red liian usual, and the scales on the palpi 

 are loni^cu- and more spreading than usual, with four 1)rick-red lines crossing 

 the fore wings; the middle lin(> on hind wings is much more waved than in 

 A. californlata. It is very closely allied to A. sentinaria.

1 c^ and 1 9. — Allied in general form to A. b-Hiieata, but with the apex 

 of fore wings much l)lunter. with the liind wings much shorter, and with the 

 outer edge rounded instead of angulated. Head and antennse white; front 

 with a l)road Idack l)and just below the insertion of antennse, which are well 

 pectinated in the male. Cream-colored, being whitish, with a very faint 

 ochreous tinge, whiter and less speckled, with darker scales than A. !S-lineata. 

 Primaries crossed by three light-brown lines, the basal shghtly curved, farther 

 'from the l)ase of the wing than usual. The two outer lines much nearer 

 together than usual, the inner one being narrower and less distinct; both are 

 less oblique than usual, and not waved. Discal dot obsolete. Hind wings 

 with a discal dot, and beyond the two parallel outer lines the same as on the 

 hind wings. Both wings with a narrow black line at base of the whitish 

 fringe. Beneath, cream-white; discal dots distinct on both wings, those on the 

 primaries largest; beyond them, a common, diffuse, dusky line, straight on the 

 lore wings. A fine, narrow, brown line at base of fringe. Legs white; fore 

 femora and tibiic l)lackish in iVont.

In this s|)ecies, the wings are clearer whitish than common, especially on 

 the under side, an<l the two outer lines are nearer together than usual, while the 

 hind wings are shorter, and with the outer edge less convex than usual in those 

 species in whieli liic hind wings are rounded instead of angulated. The male 

 antennic are well pectinated, an unusual exception to their ordinary form in 

 this genus.
