 sented to the Museum by Mrs. A. T. Slosson. A second specimen is in Mrs.

We would call attention to the basal half of the inner margin of

" $ Antennae pectinate, brownish, with white scales on shaft ; front grey- 

 ish white ; thora.x and patagia brownish gray, thickly sprinkled with white, 

 abdomen darker. Primaries gray, with an indistinct darker shade beyond the 

 cell, extending to inner margin ; covered with fine black strigae, especially 

 noticeable in outer third, where they form several irregular bands across the 

 wing ; basal portion of wing free from markings except along costa which is 

 dotted with black ; a prominent white bar at end of cell ; extremity of veins 

 spotted with black. Secondaries smoky brown, lighter along costa with faint 

 traces of reticulation and a dotted marginal line. Beneath, primaries as above, 

 lighter along inner margin, markings more indistinct ; secondaries lighter, reticu- 

 lation in outer half prominent ; basal half of costa marked with black dashes. 

 Expanse 30 mm.

This species resembles G. anna Dyar, from which it may be dis- 

 tinguished by its darker ground color and the lack of white on basal 

 half of inner margin of primaries.
