Notes on the Lepidoptera of America. 4G5 



oblique, brown line, is quite distinct from costa to the dark shade 

 in which it becomes lost. A lunulate sub-terminal line arises near 

 the costa and becomes likewise lost inferiorly in the terminal dark 

 shade. A narrow linear dark shade along external margin ; 

 fringes, silky, clouded. Posterior wings, yellowish testaceous, 

 largely and evenly washed with a dark shade which is limited by 

 the whitish color of the costal region, fading outwardly, where the 

 wing becomes yellowish. A discal annulate mark, below which a 

 second, whitish and unencircled. A single geminate dentate brown 

 median line crosses the wing, running suddenly inwardly before 

 internal margin, A narrow dark line rests on the external edge ; 

 fringes as on primaries. 



Under surface, whitish, with a faint hyaline reflection and obso- 

 lete dark broken markings, reproducing certain of the lines and 

 spots of the upper surface.

Represents the Brazilian Pantographa scripturalis, Zederer, 

 in our fauna. P. limata, is much larger, and may be at once 

 distinguished by the different markings of the secondaries, 

 which want the internal lines and are more evenly colored. 

 The external margin of both wings appears to be more evenly 

 rounded and less sinuate in either sex of our species. We are 

 indebted to W. H. Edwards, Esq., for a number of specimens 

 of this species taken in Kanawha Co., West Virginia, in which 

 locality the species is of common occurrence.
