Tliis seems to he a larger species than the two eastern ones, and ditiers 

 in the outer line being nearly straigiit in its course, the scallops being well 

 rounded, and in having no line on the hind wings, and no markings apparent 

 on the iu)der side of either pair. The tore wings are sometimes nuich pro- 

 duced at the apex as in the race or sav'wiy iKlluc'idar'ia. The antennt^ are 

 l)roadly pectinated, as nsual. 



Specimens received from Victoria, Vancouver's Island, tlirougli Mr. 

 Crotch (Mus. Comp. Zool.), are very light, and have the itmer line on the 

 fore wings scalloped mnth as in imlchraria^ whih^ the outer line arises very 

 near the apex, being very ol)lique. ( )n the hind wings, there is an extradiscal 

 line, bent outward in the middle, much as in the fore wings. It is one of 

 these specimens which is ligined on the plate (fig. 33).

 species. Head and body dark ash-gray. Fore wings uniformly dusky-ash, 

 the inner line scalloped, sending out a point on each vein, curved outward 

 much as nsual. Discal dot distinct. The extradiscal line is much less 

 obliqne than in the other species, there being a rectangular bend in the discal 

 space, and from thence running straight to the inner edge of the wing, though 

 the line is scallojied. A subniarginal, faint, wavy line The principal dis- 

 tinguishing mark of the species are the l)lack veins, the l>lack portions not 

 present within the basal line, and Ijeyond this being interrupted by the 

 transverse lines. Hind wings immaculate, l)eing uniforndy clear smoky- 

 ashen, and concolorons with the under side of both wings.
