minal line emerges from apex and runs inwardly obliquely until 

 opposite the disc, where it is joined by a white line intersecting the 

 sub-terminal black space superiorly. After this fusion, the sub- 

 terminal line is outwardly lunulate twice between the m. nervules, 

 running straightly over the interspace above internal nervure, 

 where it terminates, accompanied inwardly by double lunules on 

 this last interspace. Terminally, the wing is black ; the second to 

 fourth m. nervules are marked and accompanied by olivaceous 

 scales. An even, pale, terminal line, bordered outwardly by a very 

 narrow black line, lies directly on external margin ; fringes, oliva- 

 ceous cinereous, darker at base, obsoletely interrupted with black- 

 ish at extremity of nervules. 



Posterior wings, blackish cinereous ; a median siuuate line, 

 shaded outwardly with pale scales and more distinctly marked 

 towards internal margin ; a sub-terminal white line, slightly lunu- 

 late on the interspaces inferiorly ; the second to fourth m. nervules 

 marked and accompanied by olivaceous scales. A terminal, even, 

 pale line, followed by a narrow black line, as on primaries ; fringes, 

 olivaceous cinereous, darker at base, obsoletely interrupted with 

 blackish at extremity of nervules. 



Under surface, blackish cinereous ; wings, at base, closely 

 powdered with obscure ochreous olivaceous scales. An angulated, 

 dark, post-discal line crosses both wings ; this is followed on pri- 

 maries by a coincident ochreous shade, obsolete inferiorly below 

 the angulation. A distinct, sub-terminal series of interspaceal 

 ochreous spots crosses both wings. Black discal spots, most dis- 

 tinct on secondaries. 



Expanse, $ and £ , 1.45 inch. Length of body, 0.50 inch. 



Habitat. — Atlantic District. (Mass. ! to Va. !) 



This superb species varies, as noted in the body of the 

 description, in the constriction of the black median space, 

 owing to the course of the pale median lines below the median 

 nervure. C. atricolorata, nobis, is allied to and congeneric 

 with, the European C. prunata. Dr. Herrich-Schaeffer, reject- 

 ing Cidaria, would include the species under Larentia. Lede-
