on the fold in a little tuft of broAvn scales. The band is mar- 

 gined exteriorly with whitish., and the wing along the base of 

 the inner margin is pale gray. The middle of the wing has 

 a large dark-brown shade, which is divided by a pale grayish, 

 costal spot placed about the middle of the costa; in this shade 

 is an oblique, blackish-brown band, which is parallel to the 

 basal band, and beneath it, in the middle of the wing, are two 

 small tufts of brown scales. At the base of the fold is a black 

 dot, and one just above its termination, the latter encircled 

 with white. The apical portion of the wing is somewhat 

 dotted and streaked with whitish, and at the base of the costal 

 cilia are a few blackish dots. Cilia grayish-fuscous. Hind- 

 wings grayish; cilia grayish-fuscous. 



A single specimen from Mr. Benj. D. Walsh, Rock 

 Island. 



The following specimen differs somewhat in distinctness of 

 ornamentation of the fore-wings from the typical one in my 

 possession, but I attribute this to the fact, that it is not in so 

 good a state of preservation. 



The fore-wings are blackish-brown, without distinct mark- 

 ings, and dusted with yellowish-white. The inner margin 

 along the base is whitish; cilia pale ochreous-gray. Hind- 

 wings pale grayish; cilia pale ochreous-gray. 



Antennae annulated with blackish and white. Head whitish, 

 dusted with dark fuscous. Palpi, middle joint dark brown, 

 white at the extreme tip ; apical joint white, with two blackish- 

 brown rings, one near the base, the other at the tip, leaving 

 the extreme apex white.

Differs from the previously described specimen in the 

 general hue of the fore-wings. The specimen under descrip- 

 tion has the fore-wings ochreous, and whitish along the costa
