Hydrocampa Pacalis, n. s. 



Ocelli present. Fore wings pale ochre shaded with fuscous. 

 A pale ochre costal median patch edged by the brown irregular 

 and fragmentary median lines, and extending over the cell. A 

 white brown ringed spot on submedian space. The outward 

 median line forms an inward arcuation below costa and is inter- 

 ruptedly edged with white. The wide subterminal field shaded 

 with fuscous. A brown line before the margin runs downward 

 and then runs inwardly around anal angle. It is irregularly pre- 

 ceded by white shade spots, and is succeeded by a white brown- 

 ringed spot on internal margin. The markings are repeated on 

 hind wings where the brown lines enclosing the white median 

 space are continuous, the outer line forming a superior extension 

 and the white shading before the subterminal line is prominent 

 and subcontinuous, not cut into spots as on primaries. Head 

 and thorax dull ochre. Beneath, the markings more faintly re- 

 peated. Expanse 21 mil. N. Y. Less distinctly marked and 

 quite different from H. ekthlipsis. Differing from genuinalis by 

 the fuscous sprinkling of scales, the less distinct median lines, the 

 straighter subterminal line of piimaries with its obsolete white 

 anterior shading, and the following white spot before anal angle.

 joints rather long and with a whorl of scales at the end of each 

 joint. The antennae clothed with sparse decumbent scales. 

 White; forelegs blackish inwardly. Both palpi whitish; second 

 joint of labial palpi fuscous outwardly. Thorax white, marked 

 with black and fuscous scales on the shoulders ; on the tegulae 

 behind and on the dorsum of the thorax in front. Forewings 

 white, sprinkled with brown scales on the cell, evenly banded 

 with yellowish and luscous. Discal spot, a narrow black ringlet. 

 Fringes outwardly gray ; white at base, with a distinct series of 

 black elongate, squarish spots, the fragments of a line, continued 

 on hind wings. Outer edge of the wing yellowish fuscous, pre- 

 ceded by a narrow white line, and this by an even black line, all 

 following the margin of the wing in shape. A broader white 

 space before the black line, and followed by a yellowish fuscous, 

 more darkly edged band beyond the outer transverse, white med-
