silvery white elbowed band, limited by black scales more or less evidently, 

 commences at the base of the wing below median nervure, and runs outwardly 

 a little obliquely and downwardly, not attaining the internal margin, to a 

 point beneath the second black dot, whence it ascends obliquely outwardly to 

 the extremity of the discal cell, there widening and terminating, but sending 

 beyond its termination on either side a continuing streak, the outer the longer, 

 limiting inwardly the oblique, dusky, apical shade. Thus the termination of 

 the white fascia is more or less furcate in appearance. A terminal series of 

 black dots ; fringes darker than the wing. Hind wings in the male more yel- 

 lowish and clear, without shades or markings, in the female more or less 

 smoky, in either sex with a terminal broken black line. Beneath the prima- 

 ries show a blackish oblique apical shade and a single transverse line, pro- 

 jected opposite the cell and more evident superiorly. Hind wings faintly 

 irrorate, with a minute discal dot and a subterminal atomical line running 

 straightly across the wing, not coinciding with external margin and sharply 

 angulate at about vein 6, thence running back to costa. In the female there 

 is a blackish cloud at apex which conceals the angulation of the line, the 

 course of which is peculiar to the group to which this form belongs. Body 

 concolorous with wings; thorax above minutely irrorate with black scales, 

 and these black scales also obtain over the surface of primaries at base. The 

 few dorsal dots along the abdomen seem raised and appear as incomplete 

 tufts. 



Expanse, 24 m. m. Habitat, Central Alabama in July. 



Harvey a, n. g. 



Eyes naked, ocelli ; caputal squamation short and thick ; labial palpi free, 

 exceeding the front ; third joint half the length of the second, closely scaled ; ,5 

 antennae with a rather long cilial fringe across the joints beneath, converging 

 at the sides ; tarsi spinose ; legs strong, closely scaled, strongly spurred. 

 Body stout, smoothly and thickly scaled, in general form like Pimopoda ; 

 abdomen not exceeding anal angle of secondaries, comparatively stout and 

 thick, pointed at anus. Wings broad, densely squamose ; primaries with the 

 costa arcuate to the apices which are squarely cut, the external margin 

 descending at right angles, l%veined, 3, 4, 5 near together, 5 half the distance 

 from 4 that separates 3 from 4, cell closed centrally by a fold, 6 opposite 5 

 from the cross-vein as near the lower angle of the accessory cell as 5 from 4, 

 7 and 8 together from the apex of accessory cell, 7 to apex, 9 out of 8 a very 

 short furcation to costa ; cell double, divided obliquely centrally by a vein 

 which seems the prolongation of 10, upper side of the cell formed by 11, 

 which anastomoses with 10, beyond which the two veins are thrown off near 

 together to costa. Hind wings rounded, 8-veined, two internal veins (1 and 

 la), cell open, or closed by an incomplete fold, 3 and 4 together, 5 a little re-
