obscuredly indicates the discal spot. Inferiorly, above internal margin, a bluish 
black or cinereous scale patch. Below the discal pale patch the median space 
is brown, paler, but nearly concolorous with the rest of the wing. The outer 
median brown line is projected outwardly slightly at second m. nervule and 
roundedly so, inwardly at above internal nervure. Beyond the outer median 
line the wing is entirely brown to external margin, but the terminal half is 
scattered over sparsely by cinereous scales, especially at apex and internal angle; 
fringes dark. 
Secondaries concolorous, umber brown, paler at base. Very faint traces 
of band and discoidal spot. Under surface more brownish than secondaries 
above. On anterior pair a discal spot and subterminal band are faintly indicated, 
the latter apparent at costa. Secondaries with hardly a trace of either, except 
that there appears a faint discoloration along the discal cross-vein. 
Head and thorax dark umber brown; under thoracic surface and legs 
clothed with cinereous scales. 
Exp. female 1.40-1.80 inch. Length of body, 0.75 inch. 
Type Loc. Rhode Island. (Seekonk) Coll. Mrs. S. W. Bridgham. 
A smaller species than its congeners and easily known by its rich brown, 
nearly concolorous primaries.” G. & R. 
Whether this is a good species or variety of atomaria cannot be 
determined at the present moment as nothing is known of the larva. 
Mr. Winn writes us that the species was common at Biddeford, Me., 
but that he always arrived too late in the season to find any larvae. 
From the material before us (10 4's, 4 2’s) the species appears to be 
distinctly northern in its range, although Dyar records it from Cocoa- 
nut Grove, Fla., possibly an error. The °’s are very distinct in ap- 
pearance with their coppery brown coloration and paler median space; 
one @ before us from Biddeford, Me., (PI. IV, Fig. 2) is entirely suf- 
fused with brown leaving but a trace of the maculation visible; the 4’s 
agree with atomaria 4’s in general markings but are considerably 
browner.

We recognize three races of this species as suggested by Dyar 
(Proc. Wash. Ent. Soc. XIII, 19) ; we do not know the var. interposita 
Dyar and more material will be necessary to determine its status ; the 
species we figured (Psyche XVIII, 157) under this name we are in- 
clined, after seeing Strecker’s type, to place under manto Stkr
