Differs from Guonee's description of messaUna by the concolor- 

 ous collar and by the obsolescence of all niaikinf^s on llie jii-iniaries, 

 as well apparently by its larger size, Avliilc flic cut of the wings 

 sensibly dilfers IVoni undrophila and allies. 



Named for Mr. G. W. Belfrage, whose scientitic collections in 

 Texas Jire Avidely appreciated, and have greatly increased our knowl- 

 edge of our fauna.

5 . — This is a large species wliidi has the liind feet provided with flattened 

 hair " en nageoire." It cannot be the marcida of Guenee, because this author 

 says : " Toutes les lignes peu marquees," etc. The fore wings are somewhat 

 pale lilac gray with the costal edge dusky, powdered finely and sparsely with 

 black dots. Usually there is a fine black dot before the t. a. line which 

 readily escapes attention. Tlie basal half -line can be perceived. The median 

 lines are distinct, continued, ochre brown ; the t. a. line with an anterior pale 

 shade, a little concave. The t. p. line straight, shortly rounded on costal 

 region. Median space free from the lines which distinguish latipes. Reni- 

 form large, concolorous, a fine and wide blackish annulus from the inner and 

 lower angle of which the undulated median shade descends to internal mar- 

 gin ; sometimes the shade line is double. There is no " tacho en palette." A 

 subterminal series of nervular points ; fringes dark. Secondaries a little paler, 

 somewhat yellowish at base, with darker terminal shading and an exterior 

 shade, recalling those of Drasteria. 



ExjMDise, 47 m. m. Ilab., Canada to Texas. 



The species determined in the Collection as latipes is more A'ari- 

 able in color and slighter in form. It has the median space covered 

 by fine lines, and on internal margin in some specimens a blackish 

 discoloration.

S . — This species resembles latipes in all characters except that the subter- 

 n.inal line is not straight in its general course, but is slightly sinuous ; and 

 that the " tach6 en palette," below the reniform, fuses with the t. p. line, so
