type ; but the secondaries are uniform pale as in the type, instead 

 of dark brown as in the "var." These differences do not seem 

 sufficient to warrant the specific separation of these two forms, 

 especially as Mr. Grote states that in L. redilinea, the black shading to 

 the white band is sometimes absent, while in both species it is the white 

 transverse bands which afford the most striking and constant specific 

 characters, and these appear liable to but little variation. 



Mr. Belfrage states that the insect is found in Texas, from May to 

 September, and is frequently taken at lights in company with L. recti- 

 linea, and other species apparently referable to Adoneta.
