c? ? . Variable in the distinctness of the markings of the forewing, and in size. 

 The transverse lines disa]ipear sometimes, the discal streaks become faint in many 

 specimens and the second is often absent. 



S. The harpe (PI. XXXIX. f. 12) is acnminate, or dentate, at end; its ventral 

 edge is either entire, as in fignre, or bears a more or less distinct triangular jtrojection 

 in middle ; the tenth sternite is variable in width. Tenth segment see PI.

Larva green, with three white vittae, or cheijnered with light and dark grey

cJ ? . Only two specimens are known; they differ IVom coiiifi-rdrnm and 

 homhijcoideA in the forewing being devoid of the discal sh'caks and of distinct 

 transverse lines. 



Lintner compares the larva and imago only with bomhjjcoidcs (= harrisi). In 

 our opinion, pineum is notliing else but an extreme aberration of the variable 

 coniferarum. The two specimens should be re-e.\aniiui'd.

Not seen.
