 cell, 5 weak ; hind wings even, slightly wavy, rarely subangulate on 

 outer margin, 5 undeveloped, 6 and 7 separate, 8 separate from cell.

A number of these species run very closely together, and some 

 modification of specific standing may have to be made as more mate- 

 rial is obtained for comparison. 



S. Miaciilifascisi n. sp. — Expands 26-28 mm. Very close to >S. sublacfeulnta 

 Hulst, of which it is quite likely a variety. The markings are the same, the 

 outer line of dots arranged in the same manner, but it diflFers very decidedly in 

 the general color of the wings, the neatly pure white of R suhlacteolata being re- 

 placed by dark fuscous. 



I have specimens of S. suhlacteolata from Ohio and Texas which 

 agree. All my specimens of aS". maculifascia are from South Dacotah 

 and also agree with one another.
