 the dorsal fringes, but not following the margin of the 

 iving ; the other along the middle of the wing to the 

 apex slightly dilated before the middle ; a few yellow-

 costal and dorsal fringes pale brownish fuscoup. Hind 

 wings and cilia the same. Posterior legs white. Ex-

Nineteen specimens near Pit Eiver, California, July

 with fuscous, the ends of the costal cilia greyish ; a con- 

 spicuous brownish streak arising at the base below the 

 costa, much mixed with fuscous scales, sends a brownish 

 fuscous streak towards the middle of the costa, and 

 beyond this three other diverging brownish streaks to 

 the costal fringes, along the base of which they form 

 together a brownish fuscous streak, ending at the apex,
