22 Notes on the Lepidoptera of America. 
what brighter shade than the wing elsewhere, but encroached upon 
by the dark shades which follow and precede the first and second 
transverse lines. Outer transverse line, distinct and broad, black- 
ish, preceded by a diffuse brownish shade and followed by a faint 
linear pale shade, angulated acutely below costa. Apices, dark, 
washed with pale somewhat pruinose scales. Outside of the outer 
transverse line, the wing is colored as at base, sparsely irrorate, 
without nebulosities. External margin lined with reddish ochre- 
ous on both pair of wings. Secondaries resembling primaries in 
coloration and appearance, evenly irrorate. A distinct median 
line, analogous and corresponding with the transverse posterior line 
of primaries. A minute black discal dot, situate, as usual, on the 
lower margin of the pale costal region. The irrorations are some- 
what transversely arranged, especially externally, outside of the 
transverse posterior and median lines. Under surface of both 
wings, a little darker, but of a similar color with upper surface, 
coarsely and evenly irrorate with black. Black discal dots, dis- 
tinct. A narrow, rather faint, common, blackish line, analogous to 
the transverse posterior and median lines of the upper surface.

°. Head and thorax, ochreous brownish; tegulae, obsoletely 
frmged with purplish hairs. Abdomen, pale ochreous brownish ; 
under surface and legs, ochreous brownish, thickly sprinkled with 
black scales. Antennae simple. Anterior wings, ochreous brown- 
ish, coarsely irrorate and shaded with dark scales arranged in short 
transverse striate lines. Basal space, ochreous brownish, suffused 
outwardly by confused linear shadings, limited externally by the 
arcuate transverse anterior line, which latter is ochreous ferrugi- 
nous, preceded by a pale shade line and a diffuse pale purplish 
shade. Median space, bright ochreous brownish, irrorate and 
frosted with pale scales so as to leave the costa and a central shade
