LEPIDOPTERA OF NEW YORK AND NEIGHBORING STATES 455 



running in distinctly to end of cell, and excurved or irregular from there to inner 

 margin. Outer third white, shaded with blue-gray, and with a few black scales. 

 Hind wing light fuscous gray. 15-18 mm. 



July. 



Labrador and White Mountains, New Hampshire, to British Columbia. 



The Labrador form has perceptibly smaller eyes than the Mt. Washington race, 

 and has also more solidly dark palpi and a more contrastingly pale apical third 

 of the fore wing. 



22. 0. apateticana McDunnough. Fore wing with base bro\vn, with scattered 

 white scales, making a more or less distinct dash through center of wing. Basal 

 side of white outer part not quite sharply defined, but with a white hook in end 

 of cell outlining a black dot, as in 0. caprcana and separata-nn. Apex shaded with 

 brown; a distinct black subapical bar. Anal spot partly cut off from dark base 

 by whitish scaling. 15 mm. (deceptana McDunnough, not Kearfott). (Not seen). 



June. 



Meach Lake and Ottawa, Canada. 



23. 0. capreana Hiibner. Similar to 0. frigid-ana, but with basal part of fore 

 wing mottled, rather than striate, the brown and black tending to gather in the 

 antemedial and medial region, and the intermediate portions typically shaded 

 with whitish, gathering in two squarish patches on basal half of costa and a 

 vague shade in base of cell. Outer boundary of the blackish base rather less 

 indented at end of cell than O. frigid-ana, where the white forms a comma-like hook, 

 and regularly convex from there to inner margin, (funerea Meyrick). 



Typical capreana is European, and appears always to have the pale costal 

 areas. 



Labrador to Duluth. Minnesota, and British Columbia. 



24. 0. youngana McDunnough. Similar to O. <-a preana . Costa of fore wing on 

 basal half heavily shaded with white, leaving a squarish dark antemedial spot. 

 White apical area strongly angled in at end of cell, and more or less defined with 

 black, but not extending hooklike around a black dot. 19-20 mm. 



July and early August. 



Laurentians, Quebec, to New York. New York: Wilmington. 



25. 0. nimbatana Clemens. Base solidly dark, a mixture of bluish and brownish 

 black; apical third white with three or four light gray stria; on costa and a 

 stronger gray subterminal streak. Outer boundary of the dark base sometimes 

 regularly excurved. sometimes with a tooth projecting upward at fold, running 

 from a little beyond the middle of the costa to just before the anal angle; fringe 

 pale; hind wing light gray, or whitish with light gray border. 1C mm. (H 48:24, 

 as Platynota flavedana.) 



June to August. Common. Larva on rose. 



General', at least from New Jersey northward. New York : Ithaca, Albany, 

 Rhinebeck, Scarsdale. 



26. 0. tertiana McDunnough. Base of fore wing purplish brown, dusted with 

 bright brown, and mottled with darker; a few white antemedial scales. Boundary 

 of pale outer half oblique and rather irregular. Outer part shaded with bright 

 brown toward apex; with a dark subapical bar, the region between the inner 

 margin and the subapical bar largely filled with a grayish shade. 16 mm. (Not 

 seen. ) 



June. 



Ottawa, Ontario. 



27. 0. separatana Kearfott. Fore wing with basal three-fifths, mixed gray 

 and blackish; the outer boundary nearly straight from costa, rather before two- 

 thirds, to inner margin, rather beyond two-thirds; followed by blackish spots 

 at end of cell and on inner margin. Outer third pale pink, shaded with light gray. 

 Basal half, except on base of inner margin and on middle of costa, also sometimes
