Peim. — I have this in the 9 only. It is in appearance very much 

 Hke 6". asperatclla, Clem., but it has 11 veins in the 9- If the (^, as 

 is possible, lacks the costal fold and aberrant venation in the (^, Lonia 

 will stand as a good genus.

 ground color showing distinctly between the veins. Inner cross line obsolete, or 

 showing in a faint curved gray shading. A black point of raised scales at middle of 

 basal field. Outer cross line y^ out ; sub -parallel with outer margin except a bend 

 outward towards posterior angle, straight at costa, otherwise evenly dentate wavy. 

 On the middle field just out from the first cross line is a cross line of lengthened scales 

 whiter than the ground color. Outer field fuscous, lighter posteriorly and at veins. 

 A maiginal row of lengthened black points. Fringe grayish fuscous interlined. Hind 

 wings fuscous with faint indications ot outer lighter band. ^ with lines as in the (^
