This spi cies isallieil {o pallijron/atia, Z , and interstinctandj 

 Clem. ; from the lirst it may be at once distinguished by its 

 more erect and whiter palpi and by the hind wings in both 

 sexes having a pale space at the base; the latter distinction 

 also separates it from infertifinctana, but inlerstinciuna need 

 not be contused with jxillifrunfana, since that species is easily 

 recognized by the much wider separation of the lirst and 

 second pairs c f costal streaks.
