2 Notes on the Lepidoptera of America. 
Gd 
minal line emerges from apex and runs inwardly obliquely until 
opposite the dise, where it is joined by a white line intersecting the 
snb-terminal black space superiorly. After this fusion, the sub- 
terminal line is outwardly lunulate twice between the m. nervules, 
running straightly over the interspace above internal nervure, 
where it terminates, accompanied inwardly by double lunules on 
this last interspace. Terminally, the wing is black; the second to 
fourth m. nervules are marked and accompanied by olivaceous 
scales. An even, pale, terminal line, bordered outwardly by a very 
narrow black line, lies directly on external margin; fringes, oliva- 
ceous cinereous, darker at base, obsoletely interrupted with black- 
ish at extremity of nervules. 
Posterior wings, blackish cinereous; a median sinuate line, 
shaded outwardly with pale scales and more distinctly marked 
towards internal margin ; a sub-terminal white line, slightly lunu- 
late on the interspaces inferiorly ; the second to fourth m. nervules 
marked and accompanied by olivaceous scales. A terminal, even, 
pale line, followed by a narrow black line, as on primaries ;- fringes, 
olivaceous cinereous, darker at base, obsoletely interrupted with 
blackish at extremity of nervules. 
Under surface, blackish cinereous; wings, at base, closely 
powdered with obscure ochreous olivaceous seales. An angulated, 
dark, post-diseal line crosses both wings; this is followed on pri- 
maries by a coincident ochreous shade, obsolete inferiorly below 
the angulation. A distinct, sub-terminal series of interspaceal 
ochreous spots crosses both wings. Black discal spots, most dis- 
tinct on secondaries. 
Expanse, & and 2, 1.45 inch. Length of body, 0.50 inch. 
Habitat.—Atlantic District. (Mass.! to Va. !) 
This superb species varies, as noted in the body of the 
description, in the constriction of the black median space, 
owing to the course of the pale median lines below the median 
nervure, C, atricolorata, nobis, is allied to and congenerie 
with, the European C. prunata. Dr. Herrich-Schaeffer, reject- 
ing Cidaria, would include the species under Larentia. Lede
