lines. Inner middle line marked on costa by a black dot ; Ijelow it is obsolete, or 

 partially indicated. A black discal dot near the costal spot of the inner line. Outer 

 line irregularly denticulate, better marked superiorly, where it runs obliquely out 

 ward to median nervules, produced about vein 4, thence running inwardly below 

 vein 3, whence it descends, very slightly outwardly projected, to infernal margin. 

 Terminal field wide ; a diffuse, broad, brownish or blacki>h shade-band marking the 

 veins. A terminal series of distinct intei>paceal black marks Ijecoming continuous 

 inferiorly. Fringes pale, interrupted with brown and with a dotted line. Hind 

 wings tuscous, the vems darker marked ; a discal dot veiy near the base and costal 

 border ; a terminal distinct line ; fringes pale, with a dotted brown line. Ik'neath 

 yellowish-gray, sometimes suffused with blackish ; a common line and discal dots; 

 the terminal shade on fore wings less prominent than above, and here also continued 

 on secondaries. 



/^«fl/z«v;. --Vein 1 of the primaries is almost always furcate near the base, the 

 furcation being sometimes merely a notch and sometimes extending as a vein to ba-^e. 

 4 and 5 generally join at base or are separate. ( )n secondaries 7 and 8 are sepaiate. 



The insect seems to be very widel}' distributed. It is takeii in the 

 V. S. , east of the Rock}' Mountains, and Lederer's specimens came from 

 Brazil. I have found the larva on 7?//i/s loxicodendron and Rhus glabra. 

 It is tortiiciform, marked on the segments with black dots. It folds over 

 the leaf or joins together the leaflets, and lives within the habitation thus 

 formed. It is almost without doubt 2-broodecL

 Palpi heavy, erect, reaching above head, heavily ridge-scaled in front an I thus 

 flattened in appearance. 3rd member rather fine, distinct ; maxillary ]ialpi a- in 

 supcratalis, not quite so prominent. Palpi, maxillary palpi and head blackish gray. 

 Antennae strongly double bitufted in rj — slightly so in 'J. Antennal process long, 

 reaching neaily to al)domen, closely scaled above, heavily clothed with long s:aies 

 and hairs below and at the end. Male antennal pi'ocess as long as the thorax, or 

 nearly so. Male maxillary palpi scaled. Labial palpi a little exceeding the front, 

 curved upward, with the third joint siiorter and more distinct than in Epipaschia. 

 Fore wings divided into three fields by the median lines. Inner line ilehning out- 

 wardly the blackish basal space. The line itself is black, with a slight median notch, 

 perpendicular. Median s]iace washed anteriorly with white. A short, black. di>cal 

 streak. Outer black line very finely denticulate, shaped much as in siipL-rii/a/is, but 

 not produced so nuich on median nervules. It arises at about apical thiid, at hrst 

 outwardly obliqui-, then running inwardly below median vein and narrt)wing the 

 median space thence to internal margin. Terminally the wing is a am black or 

 blackish. A broken black line at the mai-gin. Fringes on both wings dark, pale at 

 base, witii broken blackish interline. Beneath blackish, with common shade-band 

 and black discal jioint on hind wings. 



Vitiation. — Vein I of primaries is very rarely furcate at base, 4 and 5 are always 

 separate at base. On secondaries 4 and 5 are jonied at ba-ie.

 to the Rocky Mountains and North to Nebraska and Iowa.
