8 Mr. E. Meyrick's Descriptions of 



the North American peritana, but Zeller is not strictly 

 correct in statiiifr that the male has no costal fold; the 

 costal edjie is slijihtly rolled over on basal fourth, and the 

 posterior part of this is furnished with rather long project- 

 ing scales, but so closely appressed to surface of wing as to 

 be unnoticeable unless lifted.
