lines. Inner middle line marked on costa by a black dot; below it is obsolete, or 
partially indicated. A black discal dot near the costal spot of the inner line. Outer 
line irregularly denticulate, better marked superiorly, where it runs obliquely out- 
ward to median nervules, produced about vein 4, thence running inwardly below 
vein 3, whence it descends, very slightly outwardly projected, to internal margin. 
Terminal field wide ; a diffuse, broad, brownish or blackish shade-band marking the 
veins. A terminal series of distinct interspaceal black marks becoming continuous 
inferiorly. Fringes pale, interrupted with brown and with a dotted line. Hind 
wings fuscous, the ves darker marked ; a discal dot very near the base and costal 
border ; a terminal distinct line ; fringes pale, with a dotted brown line. Beneath 
yellowish-gray, sometimes suffused with blackish; a common line and discal dots ; 
the terminal shade on fore wings less prominent than above, and here also continued 
on secondaries. 
Venation.—Vein ¥ of the primaries is almost always furcate near the base, the 
furcation being sometimes merely a notch and sometimes extending as a vein to base. 
4 and 5 generally join at base or are separate. On secondaries 7 and 8 are separate. 
The insect seems to be very widely distributed. It is taken in the 
U. S., east of the Rocky Mountains, and Lederer’s specimens came from 
Brazil. I have found the larva on Rhus foxicodendron and Rhus glabra. 
It is tortriciform, marked on the segments with black dots. It folds over 
the leaf or joins together the leaflets, and lives within the habitation thus 
formed. It is almost without doubt 2-brooded.

Palpi heavy, erect, reaching above head, heavily ridge-scaled in front and thus® 
flattened in appearance. 3rd member rather fine, distinct ; maxillary palpi as in 
superatalis, not quite so prominent. Palpi, maxillary palpi and head blackish gray. 
Antenne strongly dotible bitufted in ¢'—slightiy so in Q. Antennal process long, 
reaching nearly to abdomen, closely scaled above, heavily clothed with lony s-ales 
and hairs below and at the end. Male antennal process as long as the thorax, or 
nearly so. Male maxillary palpi scaled. Labial palpi a little exceeding the front, 
curved upward, with the third joint shorter and more distinct than in Zp%paschia. 
Fore wings divided into three fields by the median lines. Inner line defining out- 
wardly the blackish basal space. The line itself is black, with a slight median notch, 
perpendicular. Median space washed anteriorly with white. A Short, black, discal 
streak. Outer black line very finely denticulate, shaped much as in szperatadis, but 
not produced so much on median nervules. It arises at about apical third, at first 
outwardly oblique, then running inwardly below median vein and narrowing the 
median space thence to internal margin. Terminally the wing is a ain black or 
blackish. A broken black line at the margin. Fringes on both wings dark, pale at 
base, with broken blackish interline. Beneath blackish, with common shade-band 
and black discal point on hind wings. 
Venation.—Vein 1 of primaries is very rarely furcate at base, 4 and § are always 
separate at base. On secondaries 4 and 5 are jomed at base, 
Tex., N. Mex., Mo., probably everywhere West of the Mississippi 
to the Rocky Mountains and North to Nebraska and Iowa.
