An individnal (fig. 20, J) from Maryland, in tiie Musenni of Comparative 

 Zoology, is of a pecnliar dark nmher-hrown, with the lines and hands less 

 oblique, and of the same hue beneath ; but, as the anlenn;e and shape of the 

 wings are the same, I am inclined to regard it us a much snlfiised melanotic 

 individual.

10 J and 10 9. — Clear fawn-brown ; wings much darker and less spotted

 outer on the outer third of the wing; the iimer line itent on the costa, where 

 it is a little incurved, then going straight to the inner edge of the wing. 

 Outer line a little curved outward in the median spaces. Half-way lietween this 

 line and the outer edge of the wing is a ditfuse, interrupted, liiint grayish band 

 with a tew dark scales, often wanting, and connecting with an oblicpie apical
