separated at (licir plarcs of origin. Iliiid legs with the tibia? much swollen; 

 tarsi nearly as Ion"- as the tibiae. Coloration: pale gray, with a decided 

 ochreons tint. 



The species of this genns may be easily recognized from the others 

 of the subiiimily by the ochreous tints, the deeply serrate and angled wings 

 of the females, and the angled male wings, as well as the narrow front of the 

 head. The se.xes differ more than usual, and the species are exceedingly 

 varial)le.

2 9. — (3f a uniform clear fawn-color, without the usual spots and 

 speckles; a basal, brown hair-line bent outward acutely on the median vein ; 

 a broad, diffuse, dark median band (wanting in one example) common to 

 both wings. The extradiscal line is dark, finely scalloped, curved outward 

 below the costa and sweeping inward below the first median venule; beyond 

 this line both wings are deeper fixwn-color. At a little distance below the 

 costa, and nearer the extradiscal line than the outer edge of the wing, is a 

 conspicuous, angular, clear, white spot. Fringe dark, the scallops filled with 

 whitish. Hind wings like the anterior pair, but the extradiscal line is not 

 sinuous but curved regularly outward. Beneath, paler than above; the 

 median band is distinct, and the extradiscal line more or less so ; the tints 

 are much as above. 



Length of body, 9, 0.40.; of fore wing, 9, 0.66; expanse of wings,

This pretty species is so different from the two other species that it is 

 easily recognized by the absence of the clouds and spots and by the clear 

 fawn-color abov(>, and beneath. The single snbapical spot seems to be a per- 

 manent character. So different is it from the other species that M. Guenee 

 was misled into regarding it, as tlu; ty[)C of a distinct genus.
