piliferous warts, each bearing a sparse tuft of light sprangling 

 hairs. The last larval skin, rolled into a little hairy ball, is often 

 supported over the back of the chrysalis, raised above it on the 

 hairs of the sub-dorsal ridges. The pupa is quite active and 

 irritable, striking about in all directions when meddled with."

I have not seen this species, and therefore quote Lord Walsing- 

 ham's description : 



" Head whitish in front, touched with brownish ochreous towards 

 the thorax and in front ; antennae whitish, browner beneath ; palpi 

 very short. Thorax yellowish white. 



"Fore wings remarkably narrow, dirty white, with a faint 

 yellowish tinge, streaked longitudinally with faint slender lines of 

 brownish gray, apparently following the neuration ; the widest and 

 most conspicuous of these runs parallel to the costa from the base 

 of the wing to the middle of the anterior lobe, where it is diffused 

 in a faint shade towards the costa, sending two slender and 

 scarcely discernible lines to the apex and inner margin. There 

 are two slender brownish-gray lines on the dorsal half of the wing, 

 the upper one, coming from the base, passing below the cleft, 

 where it throws off a branch beneath and running along the upper 

 edge of the second lobe to its apex ; the lower coming also from 

 the base, and attaining the dorsal margin below the base of the 

 cleft. The costa pale ; the cilia tinged with gray. Hind wings 

 and fringes pale cinereous. Abdomen and legs slightly yellowish 

 white. Under side uniformly pale cinereous, except the costa and 

 the fringes of the anterior lobe within the fissure which are whitish. 



" Expanse, 25 mm." 



Habitat. St. Domingo, Southern Oregon. Early stages and 

 food plant unknown.
