they are open it shows the under-wing of a sort of 

 chestnut color marked by two white bands. Fig. 

 115 (Catocala concumbens) is the light-red under- 

 wing. The upper wings or front wings are of a 

 brownish tinge, but the under-wings are red with 

 an outside margin of yellow, then crossed by two 

 dusky bands. Fig. 116 (Catocala ultronia) is the 

 deep-red under-wing, the upper wings of which are 

 darker than those of Fig. 115, in fact the whole 

 moth is darker ; it also has a yellow scalloped border 

 upon the edge of the under-wing, the deep-red 

 surface of which is marked by two dark bands. 

 Fig. 117 (Catocala gracilis) is the one-banded yel- 

 low under-wing and Fig. 118 (Catocala amica) is 

 the two-banded yellow under-wing. These two 

 moths are very much the same color, but as you 

 may see, they are marked differently. They are 

 all called Catocala moths, unless the name has been 

 changed since the writer collected them. They are, 

 however, still known as the under-wings.
