LEPIDOPTERA OF NEW YORK AND NEIGHBORING STATES 467 



Medial fascia normally broken up into three separate spots, the costal one quad- 

 rate and brown, the medial one much farther out and shading into blackish, usually 

 widely separated from the other two, and the dorsal one rounded, light fuscous, 

 and not always reaching the inner margin. Apical portion of wing usually shaded 

 with brighter brown, the subterminal fascia normal, chocolate brown heavily shaded 

 with black, contrasting. 20 mm. 



June and July. Larva on witch-hazel. 



The breaking up of the median fascia would group this form with corylana, 

 which is smaller and paler, and has the outer reddish shade contined to the fringe. 

 The records for " Black Mountains, Xorth Carolina," were apparently based on a 

 misidentification which has since been corrected, as there are no specimens so 

 labelled in the series at Xew York. 



General, west to Wisconsin and south to Virginia. New York: Crosby (Yates 

 County), Ithaca, Portage (red variety). 



tttt With normal Exartema pattern. Base of costa of the ground color, with a 

 contrasting dark basal patch resting on inner margin and usually sharply 

 defined on upper side ( diffuse in exoleta ) . 



20. C. . Grayish brown, with a distinct pink tint; rather smoothly 



colored. Markings black-brown and strongly contrasting. Basal third of ground 

 color, with an oblique blackish bar running up from basal angle to middle of 

 wing one-third way out; normally sending a spur back toward the base along 

 the fold. Median fascia black-brown, the inner boundary sharply bent at Cu, 

 where a pale line crosses it along the lower edge of the cell and separates it into 

 a costal and a dorsal portion; lower tooth long and narrow, arising from the point 

 where the two portions meet, typically connected narrowly with the lower por- 

 tion, which is a large squarish patch. Anal patch very small and not contrasting; 

 subterminal fascia normal. Palpus largely dark. (zclleriana Kearfott, not 

 Fernald ) . 



21. C. malana Fernald. Pure white, somewhat inottled with fuscous and a 

 little blue-gray. Inner margin shaded with fuscous to two-thirds, with a rough- 

 looking black bar resting on basal angle; .middle of costa shaded with fuscous, 

 with costal part of median fascia showing darker; apex and outer margin shaded 

 with fuscous. Usual marks obsolete. A dark dot at end of cell. 12 nun. 



Larva on apple and plum, in terminal buds and on leaves. Moth in July. 

 Apparently general, but rare and local. 



22. C. punctana Walsingham. Light clay-color, shading into whitish; a large 

 blackish' patch resting on base of inner margin, extending up over fold and base 

 of cell to middle of wing at a third of the way out; connected by a vague dark 

 shade to a quadrate blackish patch on middle of costa, this patch representing 

 the costal end of the median fascia and the region just beyond it on the costa. 

 Middle of median fascia obsolete, dorsal part, and anal patch represented by 

 rounded smooth pale olivaceous patches, hardly darker than the ground. Apical 

 part of wing suffused with fuscous, obscuring the subterminal fascia. Hind wing 

 distinctly lobed, but not nearly as strongly so as in C. footiana. Black dot at 

 end of cell contrasting in the typical race from California; often obscure in 

 eastern specimens. 



June to July. Larva on Cornus. 



California; southern Connecticut; Xew Jersey. New York: East Aurora. 



23. C. cornana Heinrich (cornutana Kearfott ms.). Clay-color, a little duller 

 and more even than in C. punctana. A strong oblique black bar from basal angle 

 to fold a third of the way out; a black dot at angle of cell; median band indicated 

 by a faint darker shade, not forming a defined patch on the inner margin; anal
