Peim. — I have this in the 9 only. It is in appearance very much 

 Hke 6". aspera/ella, Clem., but it has 11 veins in the 9- ^^ '•'^^^ d^> ^^ 

 is possible, lacks the costal fold and aberrant venation in the (^, Loma 

 will stand as a good genus.

Wings, ^^ light fuscous with a slight ocher tint, heavily marked with darker 

 fuscous on the costal region, running from a point on costa at base, along and parallel 

 with the inner margin to outer cross line forining a triangular space, the lighter 

 ground color showing distinctly between the veins. Inner cross line obsolete, or 

 showing in a faint*curved gray shading. A black point of raised scales at middle of 

 basal field. Outer cross line y^ out ; sub-parallel with outer margin except a bend 

 outward towards posterior angle, straight at costa, otherwise evenly dentate wavy. 

 On the middle field just out from the first cross line is a cross line of lengthened scales 

 whiter than the ground color. Outer field fuscous, lighter posteriorly and at veins. 

 A marginal row of lengthened black points. Fringe grayish fuscous interlined. Hind 

 wings fuscous with faint indications ot outer lighter band. § with lines as in the (^ 

 but liasal field much lighter, the central cross band of long scales almost white, and 

 the rest of the wing washed with russet ocher, the veins on the outer middle field 

 blackish. A narrow gray shading next the marginal black points. Hind wings as 

 in (^. Beneath, (j^, 9, fuscous on costal half of fore vvings, light ocher fuscous,

Expands, 20 mm. Head, thorax and fore wings gray, peppered over with black

 rest of the fore wings ; at the middle of basal field a jet black cross-line not reaching 

 costa or inner margin ; inner line light gray, three times dentate inwardly ; at the 

 middle of the middle field is another yet black cross line extending from inner margin 

 nearly to di?cal spot ; outer line straight from costa angulated outwardly, then 

 rounded, wavy dentate, returning near inner margin, then with a single bent reach- 

 ing ihe margin. Hind wings dark fuscous.
