LEPIDOPTERA OF NEW YORK AND NEIGHBORING STATES 469 



C. ornatana Kearfott, reported from New Jersey in Smith's list, is unknown 

 to me. It is presumably a manuscript name, and equal to one of the other names 

 in this group. 



30. C. clavana Walker. Clay -color, a little powdery; a contrasting fuscous 

 shade along whole costa, becoming wider and blackish at middle; a fuscous shade 

 along basal two-thirds of inner margin, sharply limited at fold toward base, 

 becoming diffuse outwardly. Outer margin less strongly dark-shaded, but with 

 dark fringe. Usual markings obsolete, the subterminal fascia only denned, but 

 very slightly darker than the ground. Thorax blackish, but less intensely so than 

 in the preceding form. 16 mm. 



July and early August. 



Quebec; New York; New Jersey; Kansas. New York: Ithaca. 



tttttt Thorax partly or wholly bright "brown, contrasting with the greater part of 

 the fore wing; the brown also appearing along costa, and at "basal angle of 

 fore wing. Usual markings not contrasting, and medial band incomplete, or 

 wholly obliterated. 



31. C. ochrisuffusana Heinrich (Kearfott manuscript). Ground light gray -brown, 

 markings dark mustard yellow or ochreous toward base, brighter ochre-brown 

 toward margin. Head and thorax yellow-brown. Basal patch large, diffuse toward 

 costa, when most distinct forming an oblique shade resting on basal angle. Base 

 of costa down to cell and out to two-fifths, the palest part of wing. Medial fascia 

 obscure, represented by spots at costa, end of cell, and on fold; subterminal and 

 anal patches normal. 18 mm. 



June. 



There is also a dull brown form distinguished by the pale base of costa and 

 obsolescent median fascia. 



Southern Ohio, Illinois, Kansas. 



32. C. quadrifida Zeller. Thorax dull gray anteriorly, becoming bright brown 

 (burnt sienna) on the tufts, or all brown. Fore wing pale dull gray, somewhat 

 powdery, with strong pale veins, especially on disc, costa, apex, and inner margin; 

 shaded with rusty brown; the costa cut with fine paired striae, but the other 

 normal markings lost. Hind wing whitish at base. 18 mm. 



June and July. Larva on Cornus. 



Massachusetts to Illinois. New York: Peru, Ithaca. 



33. C. inornatana Clemens. Thorax mostly rich red-brown, usually showing the 

 gray ground only at the base of the tegulae. Fore wing gray, shaded with a 

 vague paler streak through the middle of the wing and running into a large pale 

 area at' the anal angle. Veins not paler. Costa a little shaded here and there 

 with brown; basal angle with a large fleck of bright brown, extending up to A. 

 Usual markings often indicated only by partial pale outlines, the pale, excurved, 

 and waved antemedial line most distinct. Anal patch often perceptibly paler 

 than ground. Median band, when traceable, broken up into spots. 18 mm. 



June to August. Larva on wild cherry. 



New Jersey to western Pennsylvania. New York: Ithaca. 



ttttttt Antemedial patch contrasting, bright brown, with straight outer boundary; 

 Cymolomia pattern lost. 



34. C. ferriferana Walker. Ground powdery light gray; thorax and base of 

 fore wing mahogany brown; the outer boundary straight, or nearly so, from 

 cell to inner margin; usually bent in toward costa. A large trapezoidal brown 

 patch on outer half of costa, half as wide as the wing, not quite reaching apex, 

 but touching outer margin at middle, enclosing a gray apical triangle. Sometimes 

 with the dark patches black-brown. 16 mm. (gratiosana Clemens). 



June. Larva on Hydrangea. 

 Pennsylvania to North Carolina.
