is here straightly limited. <A faint, slightly tremulous, pale shade at 
anal angle, continued obsoletely to apex and analogous to the sub- 
terminal pale arcuate shade of the primaries, but not arcuate here, 
its course being comparatively straight. 
Under surface, darker than upper, nearly concolorous on both 
wings, evenly irrorate with dark scales. The minute black discal 
dots are distinct on both wings. No markings, except a single 
very faint pale transverse common line. On the primaries, the 
region along internal margin is pale, discolorous with the rest of 
the wing, and analogous to the condition of the costal region of the 
upper surface of secondaries. 
Head, thorax, abdomen, and legs, pale fawn color, concolorous 
with wings at base; antennae, pectinate ; abdomen, very nearly as 
long as internal margin of secondaries. 
Expanse, 4, 1.30 ch. Length of body, 0.50 inch. 
Habitat.—Atlantic District. (Penn. !) 
The peculiar soft coloration, closely scaled wings, simple and 
distinct markings, and, in particular, the pale transverse lines, 
in conjunction with the blunted apices of the primaries, will 
sufficiently distinguish this pretty species. 
Drepanodes varus, m. s. 
(Plate 15, fig. 2, > .)} 
9. Pale reddish fawn color, sparsely and finely irrorate with 
dark seales. Anterior wings somewhat elongate; costa slightly 
arched to apex, which latter is prominently produced and falcated ; 
external margin, oblique, sinuate, inwardly and roundedly excavate 
immediately below ‘apex, thence evenly outwardly rounded to 
internal angle. Basal space, pale fawn color, irrorate with dark 
scales and margined outwardly by the first transverse line, which 
latter is arcuate, with an inward dentation below median nervure, 
outwardly diffusedly shaded, most strongly marked on costa and 
disc and of a dark brownish color. A black discal dot. The 
median space is comparatively free from irrorations and of a some-
