half of this fascia more or less overlaid with ground colour and less shari)- 

 ly defined than inner edge and upper half A broad, half-round spot on 

 costa is the darkest of all the marks on costa. It covers between one- 

 fifth and one-fourth the length of wing and leaves an equal division of 

 ground colour on each side, between fascia and spot and spot and apex. 

 On the costa are a number of short, hardly oblique, dark dashes; four or five 

 in basal patch, two in ground colour succeeding it, three in fascia and two 

 or three in ground colour beyond. A broken line of dark scales before 

 outer margin. The fascia and spot are outlined by a lighter 

 brownish-ochreous line. In one specimen the dark colour replaces 

 the brown entirely, the spot and fascia being indicated only by the paler 

 border lines. Cilia ground colour, preceded by a narrow dark line, the 

 tips paler ochreous-brown. Hind wing and abdomen very dark fuscous, 

 paler above cell, cilia pale fuscous. Legs cinereous, first and second pair 

 clouded with gray-brown in front. Expanse, (^ , 19 to 21 mm.

I at first identified these specimens as an unusually dark form of 

 Pandemis limitaia, Rob., but the outline of the basal patch and central 

 fascia are quite different and are sufficient to warrant separation, even if 

 there were not such a considerable difference in the colour. The outer 

 line of the basal patch ranges from nearly straight to slightly indented 

 below the middle in limitaia, while in Ca?iadana this line is deeply 

 scalloped above and below the middle. In limitaia, the inner edge of 

 central fascia is straight, with, in some specimens, a small tooth projecting 

 at a third below costa, while in Canadana, this line bulges out widely 

 below the middle. The fascia of ground colour between basal patch and 

 central fascia is much narrower in limitaia, with sides nearly straight.
