A NEW VARIETY OF THE GEOMETRID MOTH 
THERINA FISCELLARIA GN. 
BY L. W. SWETT, MALDEN, MASS. 
Therina fiscellaria peceataria n. var. 
This is a good variety of 7’. fiscellaria Gn. which occurs late in the fall. 
Expands 33-35 mm. Head ochre, with a tinge of orange. Palpi yellow, 
tipped with dark hairs, very short. ‘Thorax golden yellow, as are all wings. Abdo- 
men a little lighter yellow than thorax. Fore wings golden yellow minutely speckled 
with dark atoms; basal line curved outwardly like a bow from costa to inner margin, 
shaded inwardly with a deep smoky color much the same as the general color of 
athasaria Walk. Between basal line and extradiscal line, light golden yellow, with 
prominent linear discal spot. Extradiscal line runs straight from costa for 2 mm., 
then suddenly turns at an angle opposite the discal spot on median vein, whence it 
bends back to the fourth vein and then runs straight to inner margin. ‘The basal 
and extradiscal line are fairly broad and shaded inwardly with a smoky tinge, and 
outwardly almost to border of wing, except at apex, which is in all my examples 
golden yellow, the smoky shading being especially broad at inner margin. Hind 
wings clear golden yellow to median brown line, which has a prominent angle oppo- 
site the fifth vein. This line is shaded outwardly with a smoky color nearly to edge 
of wing, it being widest near inner angle.
