Expands, 25 mm. Head light gray, slightly reddish brown on summit ; thorax 
and abdomen light yellowish brown, the segments of abdomen fuscous at base ; fore 
wings reddish brown at base, with a central dark dash, and dark along inner margin; 
basal line whitish, edged both sides with blackish, slightly outwardly oblique towards 
inner margin, slightly rounded with angle inwardly at middle ; middle and outer

fuscous. 
Penn.—I have this in the Q only. It is in appearance very much 
like S. asperasella, Clem., but it has 11 veins in the @. If the ©, as 
is possible, lacks the costal fold and aberrant venation in the ae Loma 
will stand as a good genus,

Hulst, (Wanda), Entvu. Am., IV, 114, 1888. 
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 forming 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 3/, 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 of outer lighter band. © with lines as in the <j’ 
but basal 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, ee ©, fuscous on costal half of fore wings, light ocher fuscous, 
otherwise with faint outer band on all wings.

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 discal spot; outer line straight from costa angulated outwardly, then 
rounded, wavy dentate, returning near inner margin, then with a single bent reach-
