between sonu; (akcii in our own country ; there are not even any climatic or 

 racial differences that I can ])crceive. It is our most common species, and 

 is found in boi'cal and middle Kurojte. ll may l)e known by llie simply 

 pubesceut antenna^, its )iale color, llie outer dentate line, that on the tore 

 wing less sinuous than tlie corresjtonding line in C. vmhrosaria. 



The European 7\']i/iroi>ia consortaria is a true Cymatopliora, and larger 

 than, but closely allied to, crepuscularm.

3 (? and G 9 . — This i)retty, diminutive species is whitish-asli in color, 

 and has long, narrow fore wings, with the apex much rounded, though some- 

 w hat produced, and with the outer edge nearly as long as the inner. Male 

 antennae heavily j>ectinated. Fore wings with three distinct, scalloped, 

 black hair-lines, and two diffuse, faint lines beyond, common to both pairs 

 of wings ; midway between the insertion of the wing and the basal line is a 

 black costal spot ; basal line very oblique, arising near the middle of the 

 costa and ending at the same distance from the insertion of the wing as the 

 first costal spot; the line is jagged, with a large angle below the costa; 

 beyond the discal dots are two parallel, scalloped, black hair-lines, curved 

 outward opposite the discal dot, and still beyond are two smoky, diffuse, 

 ^\•avy bands ; the marginal row ot black, elongated dots is very distinct. 

 Hind wings quite clear, with a line running as far as the discal dot, and, 

 beyond, two l)lack lines, the outer the most distinct; beyond are two 

 obscure, smoky lines, as in the fore wings ; the dots on the margin are round, 

 and remote from each other; beneath, the wing is clear and pale, with the 

 discal dots distinct, and willi traces particularly of the outer line, on both 

 winors. The fore leijs are blackish. 



Length of body, S, 0.30, 9, 0.30; of fore wings, cf, 0.40, 9, 0.45; 

 expanse of wings, 0.85-0.95 inch.

This a])i)i'ars to be a conimdii species in Texas, Init has not yet occurred 

 elsewhere. It may be recognized liy its small size, the clear, whitish wings, 

 and the scalloped, fine, clear, dark lines. I liave examined Professor Zeller's 

 type in the Museum of Comparative Zoology. •
