This genus diilers from the Ain<'ricaii species of the two previously 

 mentioned in the nuich rounded tore wings, the smaller, iidler front of the

 costa, and transverse hand on the wings concolorous, heinir pale hrown. Fore 

 wings with a faint, curved, sinuate, difi'use inner line ; outer line dark hrown, 

 slightly sinuate, with a large ()i)tuse angle on the independent vein. It is 

 shaded externally with a broad pale-brown hand, which breaks up into ilecks 

 on the outer edge; on the costa, the oiiter edge is directed obliquely toward 

 the apex. Outer edge of wing as wiHiin the band. A well-marked discal 

 dot. Hind wings without any markings, somewhat paler than the anterior 

 pair. Beneath, of the same color as above, the outer dark line appearing; 

 discal dots very tiiint on the fore wings and distinct on the hind wings, where 

 they do not appear above.

It dillers from //. progemiiiariit ol" Europe, to which it is chtsely allied, 

 by wanting the marginal row of 1)lack dots and the line on the hind wing.s, 

 while the outer line on the fore wings is more angulated than in the European 

 species; and in wanting the discal doton the hind wings, though in additional 

 specimens this may occur. Occasionally a specimen is much suffused, the 

 lines forming a broad shade. 



Female (four examples). — The female of this species differs from any 

 other of our wingless species by it.s much larger size, the white ground-color
